Shop 6 Retro Swimsuits We Love

Taylor Swift was onto something when she practically single-handedly revived the '50-style retro swimwear trend. The high-waist bottoms, the balconette-style bikini tops, and the ruched one-pieces—they're all designed to flatter your figure (support, shaping, and all) without compromising sex appeal. And because of that, the decades-old trend has become a mainstay in the swimwear world. Channel your inner pin-up and embrace the retro aesthetic with these six suits that will stand the test of time.
