Way back when, showing just the tiniest bit of skin on the beach was enough to be dubbed risqué. Oh how the times have changed, right? Throughout the years, we’ve gone from high-waisted to barely-there bikinis – and we love them all. In tribute to the evolution of the bikini, we’re taking a look at some of our favorite vintage looks. Take inspiration from the retro styles below, then hit the beach in confidence.

A great beach #OOTD involves a lot more than just your (adorably cute) bikini. Toss on a matching sarong, a wide-brim hat, and a so-right-now straw bag to look totally chic while lounging poolside. Last step? One piña colada and a good summer read.

Channeling your inner Marilyn never goes out of style. A high-waisted silhouette offers more coverage while still showing off your curves. Just add a red lip and cat-eye shades for full-on retro vibes.
