The Nineties Was A Great Time For Swimwear

Who could’ve predicted that Pamela Anderson’s iconic red Baywatch bathing suit would ever make a comeback? No one, probably, but that’s going to be the case this summer. Nineties-inspired bathing suits are back, so it’s time for all of the haters to embrace it. From high-cut one pieces to high-neck, crop top-esque bikinis, bathing suits are the newest way to let the nineties back into your life.

And if you need more convincing, celebrities and swimsuit models, from Rihanna to Candice Swanepoel have been rocking these swimsuits, so there’s really no reason why you shouldn’t rock them as well. And I know what you’re thinking: What about the tan lines? Yes, the cuts are different, so the tan lines will be different too, but why is it normal to have the tan lines of two bikini triangles? Also sunscreen and spray tans are great at protecting your skin and erasing tan lines.

Still not convinced? Perhaps this photo of Candice Swanepoel will be enough to persuade you that you need a nineties bathing suit this summer.

There is just something so sexy about a one piece bathing suit, even though they've been given a bad rap. Similarly, there is just something so cool about a high-neck bikini top. So figure out the look you're going for — sexy or cool — and shop some of this season's hottest swimsuits.
