Retro Chic Swimwear

Though summer is such an exciting and fun season, many of us dread swimsuit season. Fear not this year, ladies! Retro chic swimwear inspired by the 50's and 60's is on-trend this summer. Here are our favorite swimwear options that are sexy while still leaving a little bit to the imagination... just the way Marilyn Monroe would have wanted it!

Retro Swimwear: Two-Piece Chic

Just like high-waisted shorts, two-piece swimsuits with a high-waisted bottom are a hot style for summer. This modest style can help hide your belly while still giving you the convenience of a two-piece. With a suit this cute, try wearing an unbuttoned chambray shirt as a cover-up to show off your suit. A laid-back wavy style is the perfect hairstyle for the beach or pool. We can't get enough of Jessica Alba's perfect waves and deep side part!

Retro Swimwear: One-Piece Wonderful

One-piece swimsuits aren't just for toddlers and grandmas anymore! We love the vintage look of these suits from J Crew and Anthropologie. The ruching on the sides and fun patterns help hide parts of our body that we aren't too crazy about. Top off this look with a side fishtail braid under a wide-brimmed hat for a style like classic icons Jane Birkin and Ali McGraw.
