Most local authorities accept that so long as private parts are covered and you're not rampantly chasing young women (or men) there's not a lot they can do about it, though there may be bylaws against topless women and wearing thongs.
Bridget Bardot started a campaign to stop ugly people using her local beach while wearing skimpy swimsuits, since no one could define a limit of beauty and ugliness or skimpiness she came out looking foolish.

Olympics have rules on both sides for men's swimsuits. Minimum side 10 cm. Maximum coverage nothing above the waist of below the knees.
