This is about as mainstream as it gets, and therefore, it is fucking fantastically good news.
Thanks for posting this Diveguy. I've ordered a pair of those grey Speedo Solars as they now ship to the UK and they look awesome. Not available locally here. Should be clearing customs in a day or two.

I happened to see this week's Target sale paper... Brief and squarecut shown right alongside the trunks (with shorter inseam) and boardshorts.

Looking very closely, it says "target.com only," but it is definitely nice to see a major store like Target advertise briefs in their print ad. Next step will be for them to actually stock briefs in their store.

It's definitely a positive sign when a speedo is advertised in print ads. All the more reason for us to wear our speedos proudly. We are the ones who will set the stage for a speedo comeback, not the fashion industry. Supply and demand!
Just a straight guy that enjoys wearing speedos. Life is too short, enjoy wearing what you want.

This is pretty awesome news. I'm a big supporter of target for their stance on LGBT equality and acceptance.

Target has been selling swim briefs online for the past two years at least, this being the third summer I've seen them available. Definitely a step forward and will be even more so when they take them to the stores!

Other retailers offer swim briefs online, too. Kohls and Macys for example both sell them online. It'll really be something when any of them stock swim briefs in a physical store.

But that Target ad was the first time I have seen a retailer apart from Dunhams/MC Sports/Dicks advertise swim briefs in a print ad.

Nice! Make sure you leave a good review on the Macy's website. Spread the Speedo Word!

The Macy's is a part of The Palisades Mall in West Nyack, NY. I was doing some online shopping and Macys lets you know whether annitem is in stock at a store. I was shocked to see them there!

The suits Target is carrying are actually 2ixt's Evolve line which is made specifically for Target. They are basically 2xist suits but in different colors. At one time they carried Speedo brand swimsuits but they don't anymore.

I always check when I'm in a store, mostly out of curiosity, and I've never seen any in a physical department store. My experience is that only sporting good stores seem to carry swim briefs, and only plain 3" briefs in either black or navy.

I have found that looking for swimming speciality stores gives you more options on what to wear as well as seeing and trying on the product

Just noticed on Macy's website that the Speedo Solar is on sale and almost sold out. Sold out! Positive proof that speedos are making a comeback!
