10 Retro Inspired Swim Suits + Accessories

Posted by Alexandra C. | Tuesday May 14, 2013

I have been looking forward to hitting the pool since January. This year, I am determined to find the perfect suit. I've always loved the vintage inspired retro pin up girl look, which is exactly what I'm going for!

There's just something glamorous about the style and I love that it's uber flattering for curvier ladies. Whether you want to try it out in a two or one piece, the retro style creates the illusion of a feminine figure.

Here are 10 suits to work that beach bod and accessories to compliment your vintage-esque look:

1. Urban Outfitters Daisy Bikini (US$36.00, each piece)

2. J.Crew Jersey Lomellina Ruched Crossover Tank (US$118.00)

3. Urban Outfitters Lolli Bow-Back One-Piece Swimsuit (US$125.00)

4. Forever 21 Striped Corset Bikini Top (C$15.80) + Micro Polka Dot Bikini Bottoms (C$16.80)

5. Zimmermann One Piece Vapour Suit (C$307.02)

1. Christina Bandeau One Piece Swimsuit with Sash (C$82.60, on sale)

2. Old Navy Mixed Stripe Bandeau Twist Swimsuit (C$32.94)

3. Modcloth Esther Williams Bathing Beauty One Piece in White (US$89.99)

4. Old Navy Floral-Print Halter Bikini (C$21.94, each piece)

5. Modcloth Esther Williams Beach Blanket Bingo One Piece (US$89.99)

1. Asos Ridge Cat Eye Sunglasses (C$20.96)

2. River Island Beige Woven Contrast Trim Beach Tote Bag (US$70.00)

3. La Vie En Rose Modal Dress (C$34.95)

4. Aldo Afua Sunglasses (C$12.00)

5. Banana Republic Striped Sun Hat (C$55.00)

The Urban Outfitters Daisy Bikini reminds me of what they ware back in the 20's, but it's cute. I like the Forever 21 Striped Corset Bikini To, but I think I'm getting a bit to old to be walking around in a bikini. I like the Christina Bandeau One Piece Swimsuit. I think it would be better suited for someone my age and still look good.
