Id say modern fashion gets pretty close to chainmail bikini levels when its apropriateley warm.

I for one wait for mens fashion to catch up with RPG costumes still, but the Leif Nelson brand seems to be catching the drift

That could be true. I haven't been to the beach for nearly a decade. It's up to Larian how they want to go about it after all.
