"Appropriate" Swimwear

[Torchwatch]

They were not speedos.
They looked like cotton underwear the way they are constructed although they had some kind of draw cord.

Maybe he was kicked out for bad taste because whatever it is, swimsuit or cotton underwear, it's ugly...lol

I recently bought a black HOM micro-brief which only has 1.5 inch sides, and I went swimming in my local pool today without any problems at all. Actually, have you noticed that swim briefs look bigger in water when viewed from outside? Must be refraction.

Anyway, I seem to have a mental hang-up with light or bright colours. I acquired the same HOM suit in magenta a week before, but I don't feel confident in wearing it. Just seems too conspicuous. So for me 'inappropriate' is wearing something too bright. I would be more at ease wearing a black micro brief, than say bright pink square cuts.

Bede,

You posted a picture of yourself in the magenta HOM brief and you looked great in it. You wouldn't be at all conspicuous. As a matter of fact, I think folks would think, "that guy really is confident wearing a magenta bikini." Try it once and see how it feels and once you get into the water, it won't matter to you.
