Retro swimwear

What it is

No wonder they say that everything new is well forgotten old. Recently, retro style is rapidly gaining popularity, presenting the collection of clothes with a taste of antiquity. This idea and the theme of swimsuits did not bypass, bringing models dressed in cute, feminine and romantic beach costumes onto the catwalk.

Someone may immediately remember the film in “Jazz Only Girls”, where the main character as the genius Marilyn Monroe turns the head of the male population in a very closed swimsuit, which, however, awakens the imagination and emphasizes all the charm of the figure. Someone in the memory will pop up the footage of the beach from the national comedy, where caused a stir “a group in striped bathing suits”. Anyway, retro style invariably causes positive feedback from both stylists and modern fashionistas. It is worth noting that the swimsuit in its traditional sense was created by the famous Coco Chanel, and before that, rather, it looked like a construction robe. It was Chanel who made women bare their shoulders and legs, creating a sensation in the fashion industry.

Features and benefits

What is so good retro swimwear that once again won the crowd of fans? The models are distinguished by a rather puritan, closed silhouette, which makes it possible to successfully cover up excess fat, to hide the signs of cellulite and sagging breasts.

The main features of retro swimsuits are the following points:

  • High waist panties. An overpriced landing, by no means, will not cause associations with a parachute, since modern bright fabrics successfully beat the figure, add slimness and visually lengthen the legs. Women in the body should give preference to the tankini, who has been guarding female attractiveness for decades.
  • Bra in traditional style on the straps. Firstly, it is comfortable, the strings do not put pressure on the neck, and secondly, it is beautiful and aesthetic. Modern models of vintage swimsuits can be with a push-up, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by ladies with a modest bust.
  • Emphasized smooth lines delineating cutouts.

Popular models

Among the wide variety of bathing suits, special attention should be paid to the most common models, which include fused, tankini and bikini.

Fused

Initially, the base of the swimsuit was a corset, but over time, fashion designers eased the silhouette, making it more feminine. The model is ideal for women with rounded shapes, and if you correctly select the picture, then besides, it will hide a lot of flaws.

The one-piece swimsuit, like no other, visually pulls the figure, slims and adds charm.

Slender girls to balance the proportions can pay attention to the version of a one-piece swimsuit with a playful skirt.

Tankini

A tankini swimsuit is a cross between a one-piece and one-piece suit. In fact, it is separate, consists of a top and panties. But the top can be even slightly below the panty belt line, which creates the illusion of a solid model.

Cups are built into the upper part of the swimsuit, and this allows you to successfully simulate the shape of the bust, plus the straps can be either classic or intersecting or overlapping through the neck.

Thanks to all the listed tricks, the tankini swimsuit becomes a universal model for women with any physique.

Bikini with a high waist

Since the creation of the bikini model has changed somewhat and today it is the official women's swimwear for competitions on the water. It is a short T-shirt or top and concise panties with a high fit.Suitable for women who lead an active lifestyle.

Colors

There is no special, strict recommendation regarding the color design of a bathing suit in vintage style. The classic version means top and bottom, made in the same color scheme. However, modern designers and stylists emphasize that if there are disagreements in the proportions of the figure, then the color variety is simply necessary. So a bright top, decorated with a large print, will successfully balance the massive hips, if the trunks are neutral monochromatic colors. In the opposite case, you should choose the panties with a skirt or ruffles and a calm top. Contrast geometric lines will help to save the situation, especially if the central part is made in bright colors, and the side panels are dark.

Swimsuits are traditionally decorated with a print. You can work hard and also pick up a picture that will present the figure in the most advantageous light. As, for example, large flowers in the upper part and small in the hips, or vice versa.

And finally, to have a flawless look, take care of a beautiful wide-brimmed hat, fashionable sunglasses and tanning cream. The beach season is closer than it may seem!
