The swimsuits I see popping up in department stores remind me of the tulips and crocuses rearing their heads in the garden. They’re reminders that the summer sun will soon be shining down in all its glory. But for many women, this explosion of color spells dread. After all, the last thing most women look forward to is the hunt for a new swimsuit. But fortunately, retro suits are all the rage this year. So why not give an authentic vintage version a chance? There are a variety of great vintage bathing suit styles available to suit any figure. And each decade offers its own special allure - from itsy bitsy bikinis to boy-cut wonders to classic 1940s glam. Just click SEE SLIDESHOW for some inspiration.
