Esther Williams retro halter swimsuitBathing suits modeled on the era of their water-goddess namesake. Halters, high-waisted bikini bottoms, ruched sheaths, A-line swimdresses, even a suit modeled after Marilyn Monroe’s infamous white Seven Year Itch number. Basic tanks, tankinis, and bandeaus are less overtly retro, although that can be remedied quickly through the fabric selection’s predilection for cherries, polka dots, and Hawaiian flowers. And, of course, leopard.
