Hello everyone, I am looking for a suit my trip to Mexico. I am hoping someone here could help me. I have always worn board shorts but after my last visit to Mexico where most of the local men wore brief style swimwear I thought what the hell. I am going to throw caution to the wind and try out a brief style suit. I usually spend around $40 to name brand board shorts and am not looking to pay more for briefs. Here is a link to give you an idea of what I am looking for:

That suit is in Europe, other suits that I feel I would be comfortable in are not in the US. I am looking for a larger suit like the one in the link that is loose in the front. (Like the suits they wear in Mexico and Brazil). I'm not looking for a lycra swimming brief. I'm going to be sitting in the sand not swimming laps. It seems that in the US all I can find are Nike, Speedo, TYR lap swimming suits, or tiny "flamboyant" unknown brand suits that I would not feel comfortable in. Not to stereotype here, although I think I already have (sorry). I am a straight man and just want a basic dark colored brief style swim suit that doesn't outline my junk for everyone to see. Anyone know where can I find these?


Thanks,

Tom - do you know sungas as worn a lot in Rio ? (it sounds as if that is what you are aiming for)

The great thing about visiting another country is that as you stay there you start picking up the local language and culture, eating the local food and replacing your clothes with those in fashion locally. Take the shortest swim shorts you have with you but plan on buying sangas, south american square cuts out there. Each time you wear them after your return you will be reminded of your trip and searching for the suit of your dreams in the native shops can be exciting.
