The odd time I have wrapped a towel around me, it's tended to want to fall away in short order, so I end up holding it lest it fall and leave me with no easy recovery! Even the toga idea is safer! Perhaps less safer than a skirt on a windy day, but recovery should still be possible if necessary!

Can confirm, the sarong-as-a-toga option is doable, but it is very susceptible to even the lightest breeze. Wore it from the carpark and an now using it as a towel. True minimalism! Otherwise I only have my hat, keys & phone. As mentioned, a small breeze makes it easy to be 'seen' unless holding the hem. It's very easy to remove when the time comes, though.

I see girls wearing thongs on public beaches, so why not boys/ men?

Because there's the cultural side in addition to the legal side, I guess. Even in areas of 'top freedom' few seem to take advantage of it. Thongs just as legal for men as for women? Few take advantage of it.

Mind you, many trends start with one who's willing to kick it off. I should try to be The One more often than I already am. :-)

I think because they are inconvenient. Girls wear clothes which are stylish even if they are invonvenient.

Most places in US are clothing optional and require clothes off the designated beach areas so usually shorts (commando) tank top and flip flops or barefoot.

Why the tank top? It is not required. I rarely wear a shirt between the parking lot and the beach. My philosophy is why wear any more than required when it is going to come off in a few minutes!

Because thats usually what I have on to start in the car in the first place. Not an issue to just keep it on till I arrive at the beach itself since though it isnt required.

I guess the difference is that I usually drive shirtless in warm weather.

I usually wear a t-shirt and shorts with nothing underneath so I can be nude in seconds, take them off as soon as I enter nude beach area and put them back on at the last minute.

A t-shirt or tank top and shorts for travel from accommodation to the beach.
When leaving, mostly just shorts but sometimes nude or a g-string for as far as possible.
