If there is one piece of clothing that has evolved more than any other through the decades, it’s the swimsuit. The changes in the styles of swimwear over time differed between cultures and came about with the changes in social, religious and legal attitudes towards swimming and swimwear.
In the classical era, swimming and outdoor bathing was either done in the nude or in one’s underwear. However, in the Middle Ages, swimming and outdoor bathing was discouraged. It would appear that until the 1670s nude female bathing in the spas was the norm and that after that time women bathed clothed.
The bathing gown in the 18th and 19th century was a loose ankle-length full-sleeve chemise-type gown made of wool or flannel that would not become transparent when wet, with weights sewn into the hems so that they would not rise up in the water. This was not only cumbersome, but very dangerous.
In the Victorian era, Western cultures deplored nudity of any degree, and people took great pains to cover themselves. In the first half of the 19th century, the woman’s double suit was common, comprising a gown from shoulder to knees plus a set of trousers with leggings going down to the ankles. By the second half of the 19th century, in France, the sleeves started to vanish, the bottom became shorter to reach only the knees and the top became hip-length and both became more form fitting.
It was not long before swimwear started to shrink further. At first arms were exposed and then legs up to mid-thigh. Necklines receded from around the neck down to around the top of the bosom. The development of new fabrics allowed for new varieties of more comfortable and practical swimwear.
The 1960s is still regarded as one of the most vital turning points in fashion. In this hippie movement, women were encouraged to wear whatever they wanted to without feeling ashamed or embarrassed.
The high bikini lines of the 1980s flashed more flesh than ever before. During this period women’s independence was only growing and swimsuits and bikinis became even more risqué and fashion forward. Swimsuits plunged deeper in front and revealed more in the back. Colourful prints and neon swimsuits were in trend.
Nowadays, swimwear and beachwear are completely varied in terms of style. There are no rules or regulations when it comes to swimwear anymore and a woman can choose to wear whatever she feels most comfortable in. From daring to conservative, take your pick this summer.

Gizele always seems to look polished and pretty. She previously spoke with Beauty and Well Being about some of her favorite moments in modeling, as well as beauty secrets.
“My first Vogue shoot in 2013 for Vogue India–I was so proud of myself. Another cherished memory is when I was cast to walk in the 2014 Dolce & Gabbana show. It was my first big show and I had always dreamed of walking in it. And of course, I cherish walking in both my first and second Victoria’s Secret fashion shows. Those are a few of my most memorable moments.”
And as for her makeup, she noted that “I love having a fresh face with just moisturizer and some lip balm. Those are my go-to weekend products. I love the Jack Black moisturizer and any lip balm!”
And it’s clear that she’s a fan of the fresh face look, considering that’s how she looks in a majority of her social media posts. And while Oliveira looks stunning in dark eyeliner or pink eyeshadow, she seems to keep the makeup to a minimum and lets her inner beauty stand out.

The Playboy model is rather popular on social media. The blonde-haired beauty is signed with the highly-touted Wilhelmina Models, and there’s a reason for it. Not only does Lada have a gorgeous face, but she also has an incredible body to go along with it.
Most fans compared her to a Barbie doll. Of course, a few other let Lada know that they would love to work with her on upcoming projects.
Recently, the model sat down for an interview with Metro Models, where she opened up about herself and her modeling career. In the interview, she was asked what sort of profession she would be interested in doing if she was not a model and her answer was rather interesting.
“So many nice professions are in the world! When I was a child I’d love to be a stewardess cause I like to fly (and do it a lot now being a model), than a cooker [sic] as it [is] my loving talent, sword-fighting coach,” she dished. “I got this goal [a] few years ago, IT-specialist as I would have this diploma in a year… and many, many others.”
It sounds like Lada is definitely more than just a pretty face.

Sierra Skye is enjoying Coachella right now. Her newest post shows her flaunting her bikini bod in a black and white ensemble. She wore a revealing bikini top with a matching, string bikini bottom. Sierra also sported a small coverup that she tied in front of her right hip, and accessorized with a thin gold chain belt that rested under her navel. She wore her hair up in a dramatic ponytail, with her hair falling down in tight curls.
The Instagram star’s stories also showed fans a behind-the-scenes look at her time in Coachella. From videos showing people hanging out, to a selfie in a black bikini, it certainly looks like she’s having a blast so far.
It’s hard to know if Sierra attended either of these shows. With a super jam-packed schedule of bands from all over the world, it’s likely she’s busy catching music either way.
One thing is for sure, and that is her outfits have been well thought-out for the festival. One of her earlier Coachella posts on Instagram showed her posing in a pink lingerie corset top and a pair of neon pink leggings. It’ll be interesting to see what else she has in store for the rest of the festival.

Kelsey Merritt just made history as the first Filipino model to ever walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
this 22-year-old could not be more excited to join some of the most iconic models by walking across that famous runway in the lingerie spectacular.
While Merritt has landed some key modeling gigs and has grown her social media following, it took a lot of hard work and dedication, according to an interview she gave to The New York Post.
“I wasn’t even with a signed agency, I’d just go to open calls and I’d book runway jobs, then I started doing editorials and it just grew from there. At 15 years old, that was a pretty big deal.”
Kelsey also noted that growing up, “I was insecure because my classmates were so posh. I was never comfortable. Whenever I spoke Filipino, they’d talk back to me in English… I was a little embarrassed about my English because of my accent, but now I know there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
Plus, the model is notably the first Filipino model to be represented in the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
She reflected on this, saying that “I feel like this was something I could give back to Filipinos.”
