I’ve worn almost all of my retro bathing suits, from the beach to the pool, and I’m a fan of the current trend in swimsuits. I’d like to share my top five swimsuits that I’ve worn and the memories that I’ve made with them.
Ive been a big fan of the retro bathing suits since I first saw them in the late 90s. When I first saw them, I was in love with the idea of something that I could wear to the beach, and that I could easily transform into whatever the occasion was. When I got the opportunity to go to the beach with my family in the late 90s, the idea of bathing suit options that I could dress up or down made me giddy.
I am not the only swim lover to wear the retro bathing suits. We have been using them since we were in college and it was very important to us that we had to wear them before we go to the beach. As the saying goes, be smart. Be brave.
I can’t say I have an issue with this, but I am a little concerned about the fact that these retro bathing suits are being made in a plastic material. I don’t know much about the plastic industry, but I have a feeling that if you are going to make a product from a plastic material you are going to want to make sure that it last through the years.
I just want to say that I am not trying to put down the swimwear industry. I am trying to highlight the fact that it is such a large industry that its not necessarily the product that holds the money, it is the process that does.
The only downside to retro bathing suits is that you can’t put them on, and it is not the same as bathing suits. For instance, if you are going to swim in an old bathing suit, you know it’s not going to swim on top of the water. They could swim in the water, but that would be a violation of safety rules.
That may be true, but that is not the only difference in the 2. There are many other advantages to having a retro bathing suit. First, it is an easy way to find a nice suit in a good store which is usually a mix of vintage and new. Second, it looks really cool. Third, you dont have to worry about that old suit breaking apart or falling apart in the water. Fourth, you are safe from the elements.
So how does a retro bathing suit hold up? Well I have two of them. One is from a time when men actually wore bathing suits. Most of us have one of those. The other is my own invention. It is a bikini like the ones you can find in the late 70s (remember when guys wore bathing suits with a lot of holes?). The only difference between the two is that mine is made of plastic, while the original was made of silk.
Well, I am going to assume that most of you reading this know that this is not a serious problem, but for those of you who don’t, well, you know how it is. I was reading a post on Facebook about how a woman’s bathing suit was “stuck to her body” and she was forced to wear it for seven years. Well, apparently she lost that suit and a large, very expensive one.
I was going to say “I am going to say it, but I don’t understand what you are trying to say.” But, yeah, the point is it’s not about body parts. It’s about the way we feel about our body. What we feel about our bodies is so much more than what we think we’re feeling.
