When I was 18 I cut the liner out of a very old navy blue swimwear but I was too shy to wear it in front of anyone, but it felt very comfortable as underwear:cool:

As a sort of compromise, I've decided to bring along my green unlined suit that might not be as transparent as the white-and-pink one.

OK here is me in 2004 in SW France, I am wearing a grey osolot, lycra unlined posing suit (see Stitchboy Patterns).

I would happily wear this on a quiet beach but not in a public pool swimming lengths.

Here is me in 1988, in lined white suit, the front safe and the back a little translucent, I'd wear this in a pool if I still had it.

Which look do you preffer?

First one - looks nice at Le Gurp pres du Bordeaux

I like the first one as a suit, though I'm not a fan of the jungle print itself. The second one is nice also.

The Mondrian-style pink-white one is what I'd like to wear, while the green number is what I think I'll probably end up bringing along on my trip.

embarrassing ?
 
:p You still haven't stated destination but go for the Mondrian !
(the green in fact looks more revealing in the pics but I guess those
are taken when suits are dry )

Oh -- I have a couple days in Palm Springs booked, although at a regular hotel, not a gay resort. I took the green one with my junk resting on the countertop as a sort of joke. They're from a now-defunct outfit called HE Swimwear. Although the former designer now runs his own business, I wasn't as grabbed by his currently available patterns, so if I bought another suit, it'd be either silver (to match my hair) or turquoise (for my eyes).

matching accessories
 
LOL - maybe you should go into the design business yourself
(also a contrasting towel for your sunlounger perhaps?)

LOL - I don't know Le Gerp but thought I recognised the beach at Le Gurp and you must have had the webcam with you. (btw, food looks good - and a great gadget in those flipflops too)
