Beach season is at its height and shapely celebrities show off their perfect bodies in extravagant swimwear. It seems that retro-style beachwear of fifties is back. Sienna Miller was noticed wearing this type of swimming costume designed by Stella McCartney. The only thing missing in her scantily-clad look was voluptuous silhouette of a pin-up girl.

In ‘50s beachwear looked a bit different from what it is today – it was much more modest and covered a good deal of body if compared with modern mini bikinis. Retro-style swimsuits are designed to hide some drawbacks of voluptuous silhouette and at the same time to attract attention to the beauty of women’s curves. 

So if you want to create a look of a pin-up girl of ‘50s, first of all forget about those skimpy thongs and G-strings – Marilyn Monroe wore bikinis with the bottom high enough to cover the navel. Retro swimwear covers most of the thigh and often comes with very wide straps. But if you can’t spoil your perfect tan with ugly strap-marks, you can go for a popular bandeau swimsuit, though this style will suit better women with small breasts who don’t need extra support from the straps.

Halter style is anther secret of 50s’ sexy forms. It is a universal cut that looks perfectly on women both with large bust and those with not much up top. The halter-neck provides great support and creates sexy cleavage, besides it can be padded adding an extra size.

In some places it is preferable to remain “beach ready” at all times and an advantage of wearing beachwear is its transformability. Skirt-panels and short styles of the bottom are extremely convenient for those who prefer not to change each time when they leave a beach. 

And when choosing your retro-style beachwear, don’t forget about embellishment. Funny details as draping and ruching across stomach and hips will add glamour to your swimwear, while bold prints and unusual patterns will create a funky look and camouflage figure faults. Polka-dot and stripes are extremely popular this season as well as bright colors. If you are romantic and young at heart don’t miss cute details such as frills, flounces or fringeing around the hip that will distract attention from the thigh area.
