The Beginning of Legs on the Beach: 1920 Swimwear
Although fashion is as old as time itself, few will deny that the 1920s swimwear was far from that which we wear today.
The swimming suit back then was ideal for the androgynous athletic figure that fashion suited best in the 1920s. The women's swimsuits looked very similar to male swimming costumes of an earlier era.
The swimsuit legs stopped at an unflattering point at the thigh and beneath the swimsuit legs were built-in modesty shorts.
Whilst the new bathing cap of the 1920s, ideally suited to bobbed hair was not unlike the cloche hat of the same era.
The cloche hat that I am wearing was the rage of the day, and my short blond "bobbed" haircut was short enough to fit under this very popular cloche hat.
It was at first a scandalous look in the beginning, (just like putting on lipstick in public), but it grew into more of the custom and standard by the end of this decade.
