1960s Swimsuits

1960s Swimsuits – Suits of today are far more risque than those of the 1960s. In spite of the mod look and miniskirts, women didn’t show nearly as much flesh as they would now but the bold prints and exotic designs made them seem very risque.

This bikini is typical. Falling just below the navel at the hip, but in a bold pattern.
