Retro swimwear
What it is
No wonder they say that everything new is a well-forgotten old. Recently, retro style is rapidly gaining popularity, presenting collections of clothes with a touch of antiquity. This idea did not bypass the topic of swimsuits, bringing models dressed in cute, feminine and romantic beach suits to the catwalk.
Someone, perhaps, will immediately remember the film in “Jazz Only Girls”, where the main character in the role of the brilliant Marilyn Monroe turns the heads of the male population in a very closed swimsuit, which, however, awakens the imagination and emphasizes all the charms of the figure. Someone will remember footage of the beach from the domestic comedy, where the "group in striped swimsuits" caused a stir. One way or another, retro style invariably evokes 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 it looked more like a construction robe. It was Chanel who made women bare their shoulders and legs, making a splash in the fashion industry.
Features and Benefits
Why are retro-style swimwear so good that crowds of fans are again conquering? Models are distinguished by a rather puritanical, closed silhouette, which allows you to successfully cover up excess fat, hide signs of cellulite and sagging breasts.
The main features of retro swimwear are the following points:
- Panties with a high waist. An oversized landing, by no means, will evoke associations with a parachute, since modern bright fabrics successfully beat the figure, add harmony and visually lengthen the legs. Women in the body should give preference to the tankini, which has stood guard over female attractiveness for decades.
- Bra in traditional style with straps. Firstly, it is convenient, the ties do not put pressure on the neck, and secondly, it is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. Modern models of vintage swimsuits can also be with a push-up, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by ladies with a modest bust.
- Emphasized smooth lines outlining cutouts.
Popular Models
Among the wide variety of swimwear, special attention should be paid to the most common models, which include one-pieces, tankinis and bikinis.
One-piece
Initially, the basis of the swimsuit was a corset, but over time, fashion designers lightened the silhouette, making it more feminine. The model is ideal for ladies with rounded shapes, and if you choose the right pattern, then besides, it will hide a lot of flaws.
A one-piece swimsuit, like no other, visually stretches the figure, slims and adds charm.
To balance the proportions, thin girls can pay attention to the option of a one-piece swimsuit with a playful skirt.
Tankini
A tankini swimsuit is a cross between a one-piece and a separate suit. In fact, it is separate, consists of a top and panties. But the top can even be a little below the waistline of the panties, which creates the illusion of a one-piece model.
Cups are built into the upper part of the swimsuit, and this allows you to successfully model the shape of the bust, plus the straps can be either classic or crossed or lashed over the neck.
Thanks to all these tricks, the tankini swimsuit becomes a universal model for women with any physique.
High Waist Bikini
Since the creation of the bikini, the 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 leading an active lifestyle.
colors
There is no particular, strict recommendation regarding the color scheme of a vintage-style swimwear. The classic version implies the 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 color diversity is simply necessary. So a bright top, decorated with a large print, will successfully balance massive hips if the bottoms are of a neutral solid color. In the opposite case, you should choose panties with a skirt or ruffles and a calm top. Contrasting geometric lines will help save the situation, especially if the central part is made in light colors and the side inserts are dark.
One-piece swimsuits are traditionally printed. You can work hard and also choose a drawing that will present the figure in the most advantageous light. Like, for example, large flowers in the upper part and small ones in the hip area, or vice versa.
And finally, to make the image perfect, take care of a beautiful wide-brimmed hat, fashionable sunglasses and sunblock.Beach season is closer than you think!
