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.

ReplyDeleteYou'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
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures. Looking for a new bikini, maybe I should go for something like these ;) x
ReplyDeleteOh 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...
ReplyDeleteIt really is too bad, I would actually bother going to the beach if swimwear these days was this lovely!
