Bonus: retro style, one of the main trends in current beach fashion
The retro style triumphantly walks the catwalks around the world and this trend has also reached swimwear. It is difficult not to attract attention in a retro-style swimsuit, and its design allows you to correct the silhouette of your figure, highlighting the advantages and hiding the defects. In particular, this swimsuit:
makes you thinner; visually enlarges the legs; highlights the femininity of the silhouette; it allows you to hide the tire, if you have one and, in addition, current models are able to mitigate the flaws of the silhouette; emphasize the waist, making it visually slimmer and more elegant at the same time.
Today’s celebrities also make their choice in favor of retro-style swimwear.
