When discussing the speedos worn by Olympic divers why do these writers always use expressions like tiny or micro. It seems like a way of spotting lazy or useless fashion writers. A 2" or 3" side speedo is neither tiny nor micro, the bikini suits, string suits etc are considerably smaller than classic racing speedo designs.
Why would anyone want to swim in a pair of shorts with a fly front? Assuming you are naked under your shorts having a zip front is rather stupid and a bit dangerous. Having a thong with a front zip is a bit kinky and sexy, having a zip in the front of swimming shorts labels you as dumb, paying $250 for them as dumb and rich.
The outline of these tailored and expensive shorts is what we wore as PE shorts at school. The square cuts just looked like square cuts. Paying $250 for a pair of shorts or square cuts doesn't mean the cutters or machinists in Bangladesh (etc) got paid any more for making them, they may have been making Primark at the same pay rate in the next row. The excessive profits go to the brands and retail outlets.
