Target "speedo" suits

[SEASPEEDO]

I ran into Target this morning and saw a rack of EVOLVE 2XIST suits... brief, speedo style. They were nice looking suits and the fabric seemed good as well. They were $19.99. They had 2 different prints in the store, a white background with red and blues tars and a black background with white stars... I see on their website that they have a solid if different colors as well as a couple more prints.
Way to go Target !!!

That's cool! I just checked the website, and my local stores don't have them in stock, unfortunately. I really like the black with white stars!

Might have to make a stop at Target this weekend

They seem reasonable in price. I may have to buy a couple

I saw some and wasn’t impressed. Especially since I’ve bought much better suits for less money. If you like the cut, check out CheapUndies.com. They sell 2xist briefs for (I believe) $7.99. $20 seems too much for Target, especially when you can get Speedo brand on sale for the same price from a department store. Idk, just my opinion.

Perhaps the suits at Target are not the best cuts or cheapest, but that's not the point. The point is that a major, mainstream, American based brick and mortar retailer is SELLING SPEEDOS! And other tight, brief swimsuits, i.e. square cuts. I think this is tremendously positive. And... and this is very important... Target is selling these suits from a FASHION standpoint, not a FITNESS standpoint. That is HUGE. Sure, it has always been possible to walk into a sporting goods retailer and buy speedos off the rack, but realistically, that was only for serious swimming. What I think is also very significant is that the side measurement of the Target speedo is a lot smaller than any speedo you can buy at Big 5 Sporting goods, which are all, at a minimum, 3" sides and larger.

This was a page in this week's Target local ad. In their PRINTED circular, BTW, that was in the local Sunday newspapers, not just online. I think this is a very positive sign that speedos (and squarecuts too) are slowly becoming mainstream again.

And these are screen shots from the Target website. Again, I think it's great that they are selling these style of suits. Maybe they're not quite up to our hyper-particular standards, but for the American general public at large, this is tremendous.

I agree with you dive guy! I was really surprised to see them in the store!

Several of my local Targets have some in stock. So of course I had to try some on. Help me choose, which is your favorite?

I like the blue and orange square cuts on you the best.

Wow, thanks for the post. I hope they sell. Must check out Target this week. If they're smart, they'll have them in the store in SoFL.
