Even the higher class members weren&#8217;t used to undress in public. So, clothing items were required that they could spend time on the beach in. The first women&#8217;s <strong>swimsuit<\/strong> consisted of long pants and a dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1920s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In later years the Olympics inspired the swimwear trend. When swimming was announced as an official sport, it became clear that large <strong>swimsuits<\/strong> stopped participants from delivering the best results. In 1912, female swimmers shocked the public with their revealing <strong>swimsuits<\/strong> displaying their arms and legs. After that, many women decided to follow their example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1930s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The design of <strong>swimsuits<\/strong> in the 1930s was close to that of the previous decade, but they began to be rendered in a number of different colors. Also, tanned skin became trendy, thanks to Coco Chanel, and women started adding various accessories to underline their tan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1940s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis R\u00e9ard, who ran a family underwear company, found that women often rolled up their <strong>swimsuits<\/strong> for a better tan. That inspired him to shape the bikini. He launched the new style of a women&#8217;s <strong>swimsuit<\/strong> in 1946. Public reaction was conflicting as people weren&#8217;t ready for such a revealing clothing piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1950s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the winter of 1950s, a Los Angeles <strong>fashion <\/strong>designer called Rose Marie Reid \u2013 already known for designing for stars like Marilyn Monroe&#8217;s beachwear invented a one-piece <strong>bath suit<\/strong> made of elastic Fabric that could just be put on. Reid, who already owned many patents relating to a <strong>bathing suit<\/strong>, had just developed the earliest version of the popular one-piece suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1960s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1960s, <strong>fashionistas<\/strong> chose different models of swimsuits, but the main thing was that <strong>bath suit<\/strong> was now made of new elastic and a fast-drying material called Lycra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1970s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Till the 1970s, women were no longer able to resist the bikini and began buying this small swimsuit that was so convenient to get the perfect tan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1980s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because pool parties got popular, one-piece swimsuits were back in <strong>fashion<\/strong> in the 1980s. Those who tried to get tan, however, still preferred the bikini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1990s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s no wonder that Baywatch&#8217;s red one-piece swimsuit has become one of the most popular <strong>Fashion<\/strong> Trend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some facts: In the last few decades, swimsuits have changed a lot, and they keep adapting to the new styles and trends (becoming more colorful).
