Will Retro Style Bathingsuits Catch On?


This season a retro* influence was introduced into swimwear collections. “Pin Up” glamour is back. The pendulum is beginning to swing from flesh baring swimwear to a more covered up look in swimsuits. The retro style tops and bottoms are getting bigger leaving more to the imagination. Tops are larger and the new bottoms are waist high and lower on the leg than a bikini bottom (not cut to reveal too much).

To carry off this “New Look” you should wear with a large brimmed beach hat, oversized sunglasses and a loose transparent shirt.

Does this style look good on every body type? No style works on every figure type. Pear shape figure types should avoid this style.

* “A fashion, decor, design, or style reminiscent of things past.” Free online dictionary.

The photos below were taken in Coatia in June 2011. As you can see the retro look has not caught on here yet! One conclusion that can be drawn is that two piece bathing suits are preferred by these European women.
