What are some sites where I can get a good stylish, yet conservative, box cut suit? I looked at prevail and N2N, but I will be wearing this in a family atmoosphere so I do not want it cut too low in front.

Check the Sporti line at swim outlet-great choice of colors and good price. I have some and in fact bought a couple for one of the life guards. I have paint splatter and green,black and yellow. I don't think N2N makes bock cut-if they did you might have a problem with the pubes. I have a number of their jammers and they are great.-but you still have to be careful because they are very very low slung!

N2N is out if you are concerned about family -- no lining!!
Try Andrew Christian they have some nice suits.
G0-Softwear has some great square cuts that aren't too low cut.
Speedo has some nice ones too -- saw them in Macy's recently.
Body Aware has some great shorts/square cuts that may fit your needs.

Good luck -- we'll expect a pic when you get them.

I checked out the Sporti line at swim outlet. They have some good looking box cuts. Unfortunately, they are closeouts and only have one or two size of most.

This one looks good. Too bad it is basically out of stock.

I also have noticed my waist line has increased an inch....Ugh. So now I need to get a pair of general lycra exercise shorts. Any recommendations on what sites to get decent lycra shorts from?

Something that is not the typical solid color or not the typical solid with a stripe would be good. Some kind of pattern would be best.

Yeah, those Sporti box cuts look good. Too bad they are close outs and only available in a couple of sizes. I have not found another company that sells a variety of similar prints. They were conservative, yet had personality.

A good question for the Lycra chat forum, but since I saw it here first...
As the resident spandex shorts proponent, let me suggest

SpAZ-don't give up looking-I just don't understand why there aren't more jazzy prints. I'm sure sporti will be back -give SO a call-they are usually very helpful.

The Undergear box cuts are good, but not what I am looking for. The have one http://www.undergear.com/Go-Softwear%C2%AE-Patton-Squarecut/MA718,default,pd.html?dwvar_MA718_color=RED%2fNAVY &start=22&cgid=swimwear-squarecuts that I sort of like. I do like that sewn in front pouch style that is on a lot of box cuts, yet it won't fly with the family. Still, I would rather have a box cut with most likely a tappered pouch, short inseam, and some type of dark print pattern.

Personally I don't like that red and blue combination and a snazzy
overall pattern would be better as you say.

Front pouches are tricky - they should be fully and neatly filled
without creases for best effect (and the model there shows small
creases which should have been attended to in his photoshoot with
probably a smaller sized suit being utilized).
