The History of Swimsuits

Sexy swimsuits are garments that are worn during swimming or sun bathing. Styles range from shorts for men to tiny bikinis for women. They can be skin tight or loose fitting. The most popular men's swimsuit is shorts but some men wear thongs or other tight swimwear. Women's swimwear includes one piece swimsuits, bikinis, and monokinis. There are variations of each of these, including sheer material and skirted swimsuits.

The  monokini has recently gained popularity in the United States but has been popular in South America and Europe for years. Monokinis are one piece swimsuits that wear like a bikini. They are typically open on the front, sides, or both. Most swimsuit history covers on and two piece suits that covered a lot more than the swimsuits of today.

Swimsuit history can be traced back to the 1700's. Women's swimsuits during this time were, essentially, dresses with weights attached to them to make sure they didn't float up and reveal anything. Men's swimsuits during this time were made of wool and covered most of the body, including arms and legs.

A century later the two piece swimsuits was born. It was far from the bikinis of today as it consisted of a gown that hung from the shoulders to the knees and leggings underneath that stretched to the ankles. In the early 1900's you could be arrested for indecent exposure if your swimsuit didn't cover your arms, legs, and neck. It was around this time that swimsuits began to be slightly tighter fitting and began to shrink in size. The collars disappeared and arms were beginning to be shown. Legs were still partially covered but only down to the middle of the thigh.

The original bikinis were introduced in the 1920's . These were much less revealing than the sexy bikinis of today but they did show bare skin between the top and bottom. It wasn't until the 1960's that bikinis began to shrink in size. Until then, tops were made to cover more than just the breats and bottoms came up to cover the navel. From the 1960's through today, swimsuits have shrank in every way. Necklines dropped and bottoms, sometimes barely cover anything. These bathing suits are far removed from the wool bathing gowns of the 18th century.

The evolution of swimwear has reached a point in time where swimsuits just can't get any smaller. Smaller would equate to nudity. As the sexy monokini has shown, there is a minor trend in swimwear that makes them slightly more concealing. I wouldn't expect to see a wool bathing gown anytime soon, however.

The Hot Bikini Trends In Summer

Whether you are planning a tropical getaway this summer or braving the cold winter, it is time to start thinking about updating your sexy swimwear. 

The latest bikini trend is actually influenced from decades past. The retro look is once again hot for swimwear. With pop stars like Katy Perry and Rihanna sporting swimwear inspired by the 1940s and 1950s, this trend has caught on with swimwear brands and bold fashionistas.

These suits feature high-waisted bottoms and are cut lower on the leg for fuller coverage. The tops are often designed similar to bras, with underwires and a lot of support. The suits range from solid colors to retro floral patterns.

Another hot trend features a one-shouldered top. Instead of a regular top with two straps, this sexy bikini has a wide band that crosses over to one shoulder. Many of these tops are a bandeau style, rather than a traditional top with cups. This style, while fashion-forward, is still tame enough for women who want to try something new without choosing a wild swimsuit.

The "monokini" is the newest design in swimwear, and many celebrities have already embraced the trend. This swimsuit resembles a one piece with large cutaways at the sides. All that remains is the top and bottom of the bathing suits, with a "strip" of fabric connecting them, usually down the middle of the suit. "Monokini" designs vary greatly, and are the most daring of the new crop of bikinis showing up at the beach.

Shopping for sexy bikinis online is a great option if you know your size. While some women prefer to try on their swimsuits at a store, there is a much larger stockof styles and colors online. Find a web site with a great return policy and don't be afraid to experiment with new colors and styles for summer 2014.
