It's not like it was at the peak of their popularity the 70's and 80's.
Back then briefs were the dominant swimwear choice. Still plenty of young men who prefered shorts (and they were actually short back then) but briefs were seen as the sensible choice.
These days shorts are dominant but briefs are still accepted with the 5cm racing cut the limit that most men are willing to wear.
I like the string styles obviously but the cut of Budgy Smuggler briefs is the limit of main stream acceptance.
While the female styles are more skimpy I still love the idea of "his and hers" swimsuits in mathching patterns.
