Vintage Bikinis

They say history repeats itself!

The Vintage Retro bikinis are back in style! This 1950's style was created so that all women, whatever shape or size could look beautiful in the sun. Every woman's body was embraced in the 1950's- why not now? 

The likes of Marilyn Monroe rocked the vintage bikini. This bikini is designed perfectly to hide the dreaded spare tyre, support the bust while drawing attention to our tiny waists! It hugs our figures in all the right places.

Celebrities are still wearing the vintage bikini to this day. Recently Taylor Swift had been spotted with now ex-boyfriend, Conor Kennedy, in a red polka dot vintage bikini.

Want to steal Taylor's style? I found a website online called "Unique Vintage", where you can buy this bikini for $75. Personally, I think this is very expensive even though it is very flattering and very cute!

Unless you are filthy rich, these days we must be careful with our money. This sometimes means buying one expensive swimwear piece to last a few years or, you could be more like me, the more cheap pieces the better to mix n' match.   

Perfect places to find Vintage bikini's are Forever 21, Topshop and even Penneys if you keep an eye for them! Prices start at about €10. 

Purple Grape Underwired bikini from Topshop - €40.00

Striped Corset Bikini from Forever 21- €13.90

(bottoms sold separately for about €12.90)

My own 1950's bikini which i purchased in Penneys about 2 years ago. I have the matching vintage bottoms. Going by Penneys prices I paid about €9 for this. 

My advice to you is don't fork out money you don't have just to stay in style, anyone can achieve a great look by just looking for bargains! Good luck :)
