What a blessing that the evolution of the bathing suit has opened up truly inexhaustible opportunities for us to show ourselves warm at times in all its glory!
Moreover, until the XIX century, a decent woman could not even imagine that you can swim somewhere in a public place. The first beaches at the ponds began to appear in the late XVIII - early XIX century. On the shore, special baths were built (male and female separately, of course). And soon for the noble ladies came up with beach pavilions. A horse brought him into the water, and the lady could bathe away from prying eyes. Swimming is safe to say! Rather, floundering about every now and then, adjusting the cap, catching floating swim-shoes and tangled up in long skirts, the weights of which were also tied to the hem so that they would not come up.
A century later, doctors convinced the public that swimming in the sea-ocean was useful. And resorts have become the favorite destination of the rich. Wealthy Europeans rested on the French Riviera, and wealthy Americans in Florida.Men in bathing suits were walking in shallow water, and the ladies did not let go of their hands lace umbrellas and strayed in flocks on the shore.
Dressing gowns and tights
A little later appeared more comfortable bathing suits, for example, a long linen dressing gown with lush assemblies, tied right at the neck. In this robe, the lady, entering the water, immediately turned into an inflated ball, coquettishly swaying on the surface. There were still modest tunics pulled together by a belt, and long trousers relied on them. The most daring bathers entered the water without shoes. Men at this time dressed in tight cotton tights in blue or red and white stripes, with sleeves to the elbow and trousers to the knees.
In 1907, the Australian swimmer Annette Kellerman was arrested in the United States for violating public morality. And she just put on a tight-fitting leotard in black, similar to the prototype of a modern gymnastic suit. However, it was the brave Annette who managed to change the situation in beach fashion. Swimsuit began its evolution. After swimming was declared an official Olympic sport, athletes introduced tight-fitting triangular swimming trunks made of red chintz. And the women's swimsuit finally became separate.
Hooray bikini!
A beach suit began the path to minimalism. And the sensational invention of fashion designer Louis Reyar was not long in coming: in 1946, he introduced a bikini swimsuit.
It took almost 20 years for such a suit to become absolutely familiar beachwear, which no one pays any attention to.And the first brave bathers in a bikini were severely persecuted. In Spain and Italy, they even tried to ban the bikini, but all the bans were broken. For the bikini Hollywood beauties Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren stood up, after them all the girls of the world finally adopted a new beach fashion.
As for modern beach suits, the choice is truly huge. A swimsuit, despite its miniature size, is able to work wonders with the body, make it more seductive and slimmer.
A closed swimsuit favorably emphasizes a slim waist and feminine hips. For fans of closed models, many different types have been invented. For example, a bando - a closed strapless swimsuit miraculously visually reduces hips. Or a halter - his straps are fastened or tied around his neck, visually increasing narrow shoulders. Or swim dress - a swimsuit with a skirt. It was such a black swimsuit that the famous Beyoncé wore after giving birth. For those who want to hide the figure as much as possible, trikini are invented - in addition to swimming trunks and a bra, the set includes a pair of pareos.Swimwear of the season
In fashion monokini swimwear is also closed, but with a variety of interesting cuts, which are most often located on the sides. True, if you lie in the sun in such a swimsuit, the tan will turn out to be ornamental, so it is more suitable for a beach party, evening swim or pool. Such an option to the taste of Paris Hilton.
For modest women who prefer separate swimwear, retro-style models are suitable.They are more restrained than bikinis, made in soft colors, they have wide straps, frills and swimming trunks-shorts. Such costumes hide the small flaws of the figure. Classics in the style of the 50s are chosen by Misha Barton - a polka dot swimsuit and high-waisted shorts.
Bandeau will turn even a small chest into the main advantage of the figure, especially if the swimsuit is decorated with rhinestones, embroidery or lace. A separate swimsuit with a skirt will distract attention from the hips. This wears Kelly Brook, hiding under the ruffles of the consequences of a diet error. Demonstrate the gorgeous lower part, like Jennifer Lopez, in a minimalist bikini in a restrained color.
Bright colors, predatory prints and colors of snake skin are in fashion. Leopard swimsuit is in the beach wardrobe of Irina Shayk. Knitted swimwear is also popular. If they do not seem practical enough to you, pay attention to models with knitted inserts. Bright colors in fashion - tropical flowers, fruits and birds. Also relevant are Indian and Chinese themes. Naomi Watts loves the purple range, and Rihanna prefers white models - they look great on her dark skin! Another fashionable and comfortable trend, which, in particular, is supported by Bar Rafaeli - if you have not chosen a new swimsuit, choose the right combination of top and bottom from several old models - and feel free to go to the beach. Blue top - yellow bottom, peas on the chest - stripes on swimming trunks. In the fashion unexpected mixes and funny prints. And you can combine a bright top with a bottom covered with a pareo or a half-sundress, so walks along the beach of Holly Berry.
