Countless strange thoughts welled up in my mind.
I was mischievous at times, happy at times, tired at times, and melancholy at times.
I have roots, but I am flowing.
—The Waves, Virginia Woolf

In the summer, air-conditioned rooms and happy fat house water can make people happy to spend the day, but the sea and swimsuits will still penetrate the girls' summer to do list. Slightly tanned skin, golden sand grains stuck to the limbs, the salty taste of the sea, swimsuits that let the body free... At the thought of these fragments, a brisk holiday scene appeared in the girl's mind.
The sea and summer vacation can not be demanding, but the swimsuit has taken to the streets from the sea, becoming a bold attack on the girls' daily life.

No one else, counting the girls' bare skin
More than a hundred years ago, girls needed to be "decent" in their seaside attire: a knee-length dress and a pair of stockings. The girls had to tread water on the beach, and the police on the shore patrolled to prevent the girls from exposing too much skin. Even in the open jazz age (20s), girls still had to be measured by the police at seaside attire.
One person's "out of line" is enough to set off a group of people to rebel. When police arrested annette kellermann, a professional swimmer wearing a sleeveless one-piece swimsuit, swimsuits that were sleeveless, non-skirted, and more prominently feminine began to become more popular.
Fortunately, Hollywood and fashion magazines are also starting to gain momentum for swimsuits: they have to be sexy!
Swimwear began to sculpt, and the fabrics used became thinner and more elastic. In 1946, French designer Louis Reard designed the first modern bikini, and a 19-year-old model wore it to the public pool. However, it wasn't until the 1960s that bikinis became mainstream in swimwear. The bikini goddess of that time was none other than bb Brigitte Bardot.
At the age of 17, Bb starred in his first film, "The Girl In the Bikini", and he was still childish. At the age of 23, bb in "God Created Women" is sexy, wanton and even a little debauched, but it digs out all the charm of bb, making her the most feminine woman in the hearts of French men.
Private Life
God Created Women
Bb's sexiness, at first glance like the bikini she loves, is straightforward, warm, and undisguised. Such a beautiful person, even if ignorant, can be acquiesced. But bb has a strong sense of self, and when asked if she values love and sexiness, she replied: "I love passion and sweetness more." She has a more blunt explanation for this: "Instead of going against your own desires, it is better to be an unfaithful person." "She, and those bikinis, gave the girls more freedom to the possibilities.
Temptation Warning! Girls, swimsuits and movies
In addition to bb, there are many girls who contribute swimsuit moments where seduction and innocence coexist in the movie. Looking back now, each one is a reference to the swimsuit style & shooting guide.
In Atonement, Kayla Knightley wears an opal-like green slip dress at night and a bright white swimsuit during the day. The figure of the paper man, just to match the thin and powerful strap behind the swimsuit.
In the film "Hello, Sorrow", based on Sagan's novel, Jane Sissy's signature short hair makes the red swimsuit look boyish.
Elizabeth Taylor, the "Jade Woman", sitting on the sea in a white one-piece swimsuit, looks exactly in response to the film's translation: Summer Obsession.
In Genius Ripley, Gwyneth Paltrow wears a white shirt over her swimsuit, unbuttoned, and gently knotts at the bottom, leaning against Jude Lowe's body.
There is also the appearance of French actress Ludwin Senier in "Pool Love Murder". She was lying by the blue pool in a bikini, and in instagram-free days, the photo was already very insffectual.
Need to do subtraction of sexiness
Over the years, the appearance of swimsuits has been learning from each other and changing. From bikinis that highlight femininity, to one-piece swimsuits with sports elements, to mix-and-match split swimsuits... Swimsuits of different eras are the style of women of different eras.
However, in the past two years, minimalist swimwear has prevailed. The swimsuit, which is pure in color and sharp in line, collides with the natural colour of the skin and the soft lines of the body.
In the 90s, when minimalism was born, such swimsuits already appeared.
On the 1991 American vogue, linda evangelista and christy turlington two beauties wore swimsuits, and their coats were also popular "raincoats":

Today, more than 10 years later, there are some niche swimwear brands that are also using simple lines to outline girls' summer bodies. For example, Lido, which was only founded in the spring of 2017, took everyone's attention with a set of lookbooks shot on the red wall of the "Monument Valley" in Spain. Functional swimsuits can also be sexy:

There's also Californian brand nu swim, which also uses a cool cut, but occasionally has a standout color.

The flow and freedom to wear on the body
A good-looking swimsuit can't be hidden. This summer, many girls have taken to the streets as bodysuits.
