If you want a swimsuit [1] that's both timeless and flattering, you should look to the silhouettes from the '40s, '50s, and '60s. High-waisted bottoms, halter-neck tops, and rouched one-pieces were all very popular back then, and we couldn't be happier that the iconic cuts have returned. If you want to feel like a silver-screen star, snag one of these vintage-inspired swimsuits this Summer. Retro [2] has never seemed so forward-thinking.
