I’m much more of a fan of a vintage-style swimsuit or bikini than most “modern” bathing suits, so it’s always great to see current brands providing their own versions of retro swimwear. Or, as we say in Australia, “bathers’ or “cossies” – cute, eh?
There’s something romantic about swimming caps and vintage swimming costumes with frills or a matching skirt with tie, isn’t there?
Unfortunately, I can’t recommend any particular brands which consistently manufacture retro-inspired swimming costumes, so do leave a comment below if you have any ideas. But here are a couple of sites that sell retro-inspired swimwear:

These other galleries might inspire you to live lusciously in the outdoors, whether vintage-inspired or ultra modern. Enjoy!
