Every time I get the chance to go to the beach, I feel like my trusty swimsuit gets more and more outdated. I'm constantly seeing new styles, colors, and patterns on my fellow beachgoers, and I had to wonder: Does swimsuit fashion really change that fast?
As I learned from this video, the answer is a resounding "yes." Actor and model Amanda Cerny tries on swimsuits from all the way back to the 1890s to show us just how far we've come to arrive at today's colorful, creative, and skimpy bikinis. I knew that we hadn't always worn the same stuff to the pool, but some of these really shocked me!
I knew that swimsuits had changed a lot over the years thanks to this video that showcases how much they've evolved, but I think Amanda does a really great job giving an interesting perspective with her focus on the bikini and totally encompassing each era with her modeling technique. Even her dancing matches up with the time periods! The filming style also goes together perfectly with what she's wearing, making this video one of my favorite fashion clips I've ever seen!
I don't know about you, but I really loved a lot of the older styles of swimsuits. The one from the 1960s looks super cute, and I'd gladly trade in my current swimsuit for the cute one from the 1920s! Which style was your favorite?
