Suits of today are far more risque than those of the 1960s. In spite of the mod look and miniskirts, women didn’t show nearly as much flesh as they would now but the bold prints and exotic designs made them seem very risque. Here are 12 reasons why we should all be wearing 1960s bathing suits:
1. Because you can wear a bathing suit and make it seem like you’re just wearing a romper or shorts.
2. Because matching.
3. Because look at the beautiful lines these suits make on these ladies.
4. Because you could wear a swimsuit that looks like a little dress.
5. Because now those bangs you got on a whim look so awesome.
6. Because you can choose to never show your belly button again to the world.
7. Because these patterns just rock.
8. Because even a sexy ’60s bikini will provide you with some extra coverage.
9. Because a) gingham and b) you look so good eating ice cream in these suits.
10. Because what is so goddamn wrong with wearing a one-piece?
11. Seriously, they look really good.
12. And either way: Because who wouldn’t want to look like Megan Draper on the beach?
