Help with new Bathing Suit (Roxanne)

Sorry its just me ... but now that I have your attention...

I might be jumping the gun on this but i took sometime out of my day to google search and get some ideas on a new bathing suit to take on my trip to Playa Del Carmen.

I am 40 ish year old male ... Blonde hair Blue Eyes average weight average height and sporty ... I dont have any recent pictures of my self but the last time i looked in the mirror i do recall myself looking similiar to this guy.



so with that in mind wich one do you all think i should choose .... please feel free to recemend one of your own.

The first one I am considering is a one piece... Love the color ....but just not sure of how I will look afterwards with the tan lines...and unfortunately I do not have a pair of brown loafers to match.



Second is the a boxer set this set is rather expensive and will have to be imported and shipped from overseas ... Im leaning in this direction but just not sure if im built right, these tend to be favorite amongst gringos traveling to Mexico.



or should I just go with what I wore last year ....

You have given us many options to think about!
I agree that the post Borat tan lines might present an issue. Besides, I recall see that suit done in Akumal a few years ago. The fellow is still living with the fallout from his choice.
The one you chose last year looks quite airy and you probably don't have to suffer from wet suit syndrom as it looks like it dries quite quickly however I would imagine you have to be diligent in your bath room technique to avoid any trailers!!!

I will let others weigh in here. I am sure there are other options available.

Well you already have the girls input so I'll just keep my opinions to myself.

Unless to are a bronzed toned Italian dude with 1% body fat, stay away from the banana hammock.

Ya last years suit I probably should avoid ... considering my main staple while im there will be gaucomole, beans, and salsa .... besides if i forget and open my mouth while im showering could be the ingredients for a recipie of disaster.

guess Ill have to keep shopping.
