Aussiebum has released some new vintage striped suits. I like them a lot:

But my preference would be for them to break out some of the classic surf club styles. Solid colours with contrasting side panels.

The narrow, alternating black/white or blue/white stripes remind me of the nylon Speedos™ that were available in the Boy Scout catalog when I was a kid. One of my earliest recollections.

I own the blue/white pair. I wouldn't say high. it does get see through for a sec but it's quick drying so it's not really that extreme.

Then green should be pool appropriate lol. Do they sit low on the hips?

yes I think the khaki/black is fine. and no, they don't sit low at least for me.

I have been thinking of getting a pair but I have read on this forum about the sizing being inconsistent. I have some AB underwear and I find the sizing does vary a little.

Sizing is definitely inconsistent. Same with their underwear. Some I'm in small and some I'm in medium

Those striped suits look awesome!

If only Aussiebum would make them in XS (or even XXS). :(
