I've been browsing images of vintage bathing suits lately, which brought me to these perfectly styled 1950s photographs. I love that there was a time when beach wear could look sophisticated and even a bit glamorous.
Photography by Nina Leen. Found on flickr.

You're right, these are perfectly styled! I wish I was half as glamourous as these ladies when I hit the beach. Something to aspire to I guess haha
I love these pictures. Looking for a new bikini, maybe I should go for something like these ;) x
Oh if only they still made these and sold them at the shops...these are so gorgeous...whatever happened to swimwear...it became more like under wear...
It really is too bad, I would actually bother going to the beach if swimwear these days was this lovely!

Cuuute! I'm so ready for summer and beach time with the girls.
Ooh I love these!
Ugh I want one so bad!!
I adore the hats! 1950s swimwear was so elegant and sophisticated. Nothing like the triangle bikinis and thongs of today!
These photos are amazing. I want to look this sophisticated and beautiful in my swimsuit.

They are so glamourous with their pretty swimsuits. And their hair is always done up to perfection. The pictures are really pretty.
I HEART vintage swimsuit, they're more figure friendly than today's bikinis and tankinis or something in between.

Oh, what a delight to look at! I love these types of swimsuits -- they're almost like mini-dresses these days. :-) And, I adore the photography, too!

Sigh. I, too, love the sophistication of vintage bathing suits.

Wouldn't it be fun if women got all dressed up to go to the beach?
They used to wear special stockings and dresses just to swim!
So cute- I love all these pictures
