There is a herding instinct..
There is a herding instinct that goes on with all aspects of fashion and applies not only to women but men and kids of both sexes too. Everyone wants to wear what is considered fashionable by those around them. What is considered ok from the standpoint of modesty goes right along with the times. If its considered the fashion of the day it won't be deemed immodest.
I remember when mens thong swimwear initially became popular. At one point, the big department stores were stocking these. Guys seemed a bit embarrassed taking them to the cashier bit they did it. This was before INternet shopping for such items was around. (We had mail ordercatalogs from Undergear as well) And they wore them on the beach in some numbers too. I have a video of the Waikiki beach I took when I was there in about 1990, and a number of the guys were wearing thongs as well as the women. When I got home I went out and purchased a couple for myself, and even wore them at the lake. No one else seemed to even notice or care.
The only tricky part ios wearing something at the pool that is not regarded a part of popular current fashion..then you might be accused of being immodest. But I see that as more an issue of rear coverage, and maybe a front that shows pubic hair along the sides of the pouch, not the width of the sides of the suit itself.
