Hasta La Ideas

Whether it’s the poorly lit dressing rooms with funhouse-like mirrors or finding styles you swear only Amazonian size 2 supermodels can wear, almost everyone I know has a terrible time shopping for swimsuits for their upcoming spring break trips or summer vacations. And when you do find the one you love, having to change your figure just to wear it totally takes the fun out of summer. So I was watching old film clips of swimming film star Esther Williams just the other day and thought the retro swimwear styles would suit many figures today! The lowcut legs and sweetheart necklines look good on almost everyone and one-piece bathing suits can help hide any little bumps you don’t want anyone to see. Speaking of Esther Williams, get a polka-dotted swimsuit made by her company! For a totally modern and retro look, take a look at this cut-out style swimsuit by American Eagle. Next time you’re lounging by the poolside, think of Dita von Teese or Bettie Page, don a bit of glam red lipstick and be the cool and classic pin-up girl everyone will envy!
