We take a look at our favourite vintage swimwear for women. Affordable, flattering and sexy retro swimsuits for every woman’s summer.
The weather is finally warming up, the holidays are being booked and it’s time to shop. Vintage swimwear for women is a great way to add some glamour into your summer wardrobe.
Whether you’re chilling on the beach, lazing by the pool or lying out in the garden with one foot in a paddling pool, you’d look great in any one of these. Here’s our list of fabulous retro swimwear.

For Luna Swimwear do a great range of retro swimsuits and bikinis. Their line comes in both prints and bold colours for sizes 8 – 18. They’re affordable, lusty and figure flattering with high-waists and skirted swimsuits.
If you’re budgets a little bigger then Bettylicious also offers fabulous 50s swimwear. Another perfect accompaniment to your victory rolls. They come in sizes 8-16, providing support and streamlining.

Show your sultry side with Kiss Me Deadly Swimwear. This line sports the typical halterneck vintage staple with a modern fierce and fantastic twist. They offer everything from the pink shell print (above) to pirate chic.
They offer swimsuits with shorts and adjustable bikini bottom so you can choose your modesty level. Seductive, practical and unique.
For more traditional nautical beachwear then look no further than Zoggs at Tesco. This is a very popular purse-friendly range that comes in navy and red. Stocks are limited due to demand, online at least. They also have some lovely maternity swimwear items.

You may have found bikini tops you love but not the bottoms or want to mix and match with swimwear you already own. For some vintage style swimwear, these geometric print, high-waist bottoms are darling. You can get them with a matching bikini top from Jayne Whitehead or on ASOS.
For our friends across the pond you can head to ModCloth and for some actual 80s and 90s vintage swimwear UK head to Beyond Retro for one-off items to make a statement.
