TL;DR
Swimwear is fine on the beach in Nha Trang, but for cafes and other public venues it’s better to put on shorts, a T-shirt, or a cover-up. If you’re not wearing only a swimsuit, you’re less likely to get comments, though staff or locals may still disapprove.
If you enter a cafe or another public venue after the beach, it’s best to cover up: even where there’s no strict rule, staff or other guests may still comment or react negatively.
The safest option in Nha Trang is not to sit in a venue wearing only a swimsuit or briefs; add something simple like a T-shirt, shorts, a sarong, or a beach shirt.
Regular swim briefs are generally not a problem on the beach, so swimming in standard men’s swimwear is seen as normal. The issue usually comes up only when entering cafes or other public places.
