#10: My Parents at the Beach in the Late 40s
The two-piece swimsuit was just starting to become popular in the 40s. Once again, this couple’s beachwear highlights the popular resort trends after the war. The woman wears an early version of the bikini: a high-waisted model with a patterned halter top and matching tailored shorts. This was a revolutionary design that began the shift of swimwear into the world of modern fashion. It still offered coverage by today’s standards but was a big step toward the styles we know now.
