Do most men wear swim briefs where you swim even tho it's not the fashion in your area?

I’m in the USA and swim briefs have always been a fashion no-no here. Go to a beach and you almost rarely see anyone in a swim brief. And go to a department store here as well and all you will see in the swim section are swim trunks; no briefs. The only way to buy them is online. BUT in my fitness club where I swim, 90% of the guys here that swim are swimming in briefs! I was actually very surprised to see it when I first joined the club and I honestly thought I was going to be the only one wearing briefs, but nope. Most of the men here wear briefs, which shocked me!

So for those of you that live in an area where swim briefs are not the fashion, do a lot of men wear briefs where you swim?

It’s fitness, the intention is different. Have you seen what cyclist wear compared to someone casually biking. When you’re going to beach you’re likely doing things other than swimming too

@EVERLY Yeah, I feel like they are trying to mix two different groups into one sample or something. This is very apples to oranges comparison.

Plenty of briefs at the playa

I wear swim briefs for comfort and convenience, not looks. They’re fast-drying and budget-friendly!

Briefs are athletic wear and trunks are loungewear. Just depends on the activity.
