America's Sweetheart goes Retro


We love country music sweetheart, Taylor Swift for her girl-power anthems and her awesome fashion sense. Her unique choice of women’s swimwear definitely made people talk at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas last summer. Going retro, Taylor sported a modest but cute high-waisted polkadot bikini and red rimmed sunglasses. It was a definite throwback to the classic pin-up model look.

Taylor nails the feminine, girl next door look as she hit the sand and surf in her adorable women's swimwear. The 20-year-old showed just enough skin to flatter her naturally thin physique, yet stayed true to her squeaky-clean image, while stolling the beach in the Bahamas. We give major props to Taylor who went the opposite route of so many girl-celebs that love to flaunt their itty bitty bikinis, without looking like a grandma!

To follow Taylor’s lead in classic women’s swimwear, here are some of our favorite vintage-inspired pieces that are sure to represent the sweet, real side of you on the beach.

We love this One-Piece Retro Swimwear by Splendid. The sweetheart cut makes this one-piece women’s swimsuit instantly fun and chic. Plus, with the option of detaching the halter neck strap, you won’t have to worry about those annoying tan lines! The cut out back with a back-tie detail keeps from making this women's swimsuit being too innocent, without offending anyone on the beach. 

 This Retro On the Spot Sweetheart Bikini Top and On the Spot Retro High Waist Bikini by GUESS will make you feel like America’s favorite country singer youself, with the adorable ruffled trim and gold ring detail. Maybe Taylor’s super high-waisted bottoms raised some eyebrows in the Bahamas, but this piece is definitely a ready-to-wear take on the high waist bikini.

If polka-dots and pink are too girly girl for you, try this Underwire Bikini Women’s Swimwear by Athena. We love this sexy, black piece with details like gathering on the side, and a stylish gold hook on the back that makes this women’s swimsuit stunning. To top it all off, channel in your retro-chic with The Serengeti High Waist Bikini Bottom.
Taylor may be America’s sweetheart, but with a few style tips from The Spot and lots of positive attitude, you’re sure to make everyone fall for you this season too!

XoXo,


Swimspot

  • Look Good, Feel GoodFall is finally here! Time to dig up those scarves, boots, and cardigans buried deep inside your closet. In terms of fashion, this is definitely my favorite time of year – I especially love the bold pops of color that are trending this season. And of course, the layers! But unfortunately, being bundled up in sweaters and coats doesn’t quite give me the motivation to work out. I won’t be sporting a bikini any time soon anyways so what’s the point, right? Wrong! We’re all aiming for that perfect beach body once Spring rolls along, so why not start working for it now? Getting toned and fit is a gradual process—although I’m sure we all wish it would happen overnight. Swimsuit season will be coming around the corner before you know it, so save yourself from the intense dieting and exercise the week before spring break and start now!
