Retro-Inspired Swimwear: Shop '50s Bathing Suit Styles For Summer

We're loving all of the swimwear options that are out there right now; at Miami Swim Week, we've seen tons of different prints, colors, and silhouettes, and with each season brings a fresh crop of new looks to try. However, one bathing suit trend that never seems to go out of style is '50s glam. Just look at the effortless allure of bathing beauties like Rita Hayworth, Esther Williams, and Marilyn Monroe. Not only did they have killer curves and perfectly coiffed hair, but they were undeniably sexy while still leaving a little to the imagination. Modern-day stunners like Eniko Mihalik and Marloes Horst worked the trend for Bergdorf Goodman and Seafolly campaigns, respectively — proving that flirty ruffles, sweet gingham, and sailor stripes can still be hot combos. If barely there bikinis aren't your thing, or you just want to try a more retro look on the beach this season, click through to see all of our '50s-chic swimwear picks.

Norma Kamali Says Try Before You Buy . . .

Designer Norma Kamali is doing something other designers ought to copy: she's allowing her customers to try before they buy.

Designer Norma Kamali is doing something other designers ought to copy: she's allowing her customers to try before they buy. Here's how it works: order items you like from the website, try them on in the comfort of your own home, then return the pieces you don't like within 48 hours (you are only charged for shipping).

What's more, Kamali has also introduced Try Before You Buy Parties, where essentially someone hosts a Norma Kamali shopping event at her home. If $10,000 or more is made, the host gets to buy the styles she sold at wholesale and sell them to clients at full price, making a 50 percent profit.

Quote Of The Day: Norma Kamali And The Original Puffer Jacket

After splitting with her husband, Mohammed (Eddie) Kamali, in the mid-1970s, she took to camping in the woods with a boyfriend.
After splitting with her husband, Mohammed (Eddie) Kamali, in the mid-1970s, she took to camping in the woods with a boyfriend. “It was cold,” she recalled, “and I was always getting up at night to go to the bathroom.” On one particularly nippy night, she threw on her sleeping bag and sprinted for the bush. “As I was running,” she said, “I was thinking, ‘I need to put sleeves in this thing.’ ” The rest is rag-trade history. Variations of that seminal Kamali design have inspired generations of puffy down coats. An emblem of urban survivalist chic, the original spiked in popularity after 9/11. “When it really looked like slim pickings for selling anything, we were making sleeping-bag coats out of every piece of fabric we had,” Ms. Kamali recalled. “That coat is what kept us in business.”
