Bathing suits seem decidedly more demure these days what with all the one-piece options available. The extra fabric would not only make a dip in the frigid ocean waters more tolerable, but would also allow you to make more of a statement on the beach. I'm especially loving the strapless options. J. Crew has some really nice ones in various prints on their website right now, the stripes (not surprisingly sold-out) run a close second to the polka dots, but the "retro dots" are not available in a strapless option.
Interesting to see that some of the styles are mimicking the lower (less revealing) cut at the leg that was more popular in the 1940s and 1950s.
