Speedo
I started wearing a Speedo when I lived in Cape Town in 2001. I was on Clifton No. 3 with my boyfriend and his friends and when I unveiled my trunks they were like “no.” Y’all, where I’m from, being asked to wear a Speedo would be like being asked to wear a dress in public. Not that there’s anything wrong with either…it’s just something that was way out of my comfort zone. However, baby, once you go Speedo, there is absolutely no going back. I haven’t worn a “regular” swimsuit in twenty years. I love, love, love the tan lines that they create. I’ve donned all sorts of designer labels and cuts, but about five years ago I settled on using the Speedo Fitness Solar 1” Brief exclusively. I have it in black, white, read, navy, gray, turquoise and black-and-white stripes. For me, it provides the perfect cut and level of comfort at an ideal price.
