Man, I miss the late 80's & 90's. In the Caribbean & Mexican Riviera men wore a lot of those "wrapped" sarong type coverups over very skimpy bikinis (1/2" to 1/4" sides) all the time whenever going from the beach or pool to the restaurant or bar - and I'm talking about at "main stream", Family Friendly resorts. No one ever gave a second look or care - it was a much more live and let live culture and people weren't so concerned about what others were wearing (and I'm an American). Granted, there was always a good mix of Europeans and Americans at these resorts, but there were just as many Americans wearing skimpy beach wear as there were Europeans. It was a much more relaxed period than now.
