When you’ve worked up a sweat, slip into the pool and relax in style in this beautiful suit.

Swimwear: Evolution and Changing Trends

The history of swim wear – be it menswear or women’s wear – makes fascinating study. Women’s swim wears have always been a heated topic in the fashion industry and there has been several changes in women’s swim wear according to the trends of the passing eras. Women’s swim wears were initially introduced with the purpose of covering up certain essential body parts of those women who were daring enough to bathe publicly. Since then, there have been several changing styles and functions of the female bathing suit. It is indeed amazing to know that so much has been achieved in the swim wear with such scant material.

The first known use of a bathing costume was in Greece during 350 B.C. The fourth century mosaic wall was discovered depicting girls dressed in what resembles the modern-day bikinis. But, swim wear went out of fashion after the fall of the Roman Empire when water sports were no longer encouraged and the prudish Europeans regarded the sea more as a source of physical therapy than recreation.

Spas where men and women together engaged in public bathing began in France and England during the 18th century. The typical swim was nothing more than a brief symbolic dip in the water with ladies on one side of the beach and men on the other.

The earliest bathing suit was an old smock more in the nature of a bathing gown. Thus these suits were far from comfortable and ladies started sewing lead weights into the hem of the bathing gown to prevent any indecent exposure.

The early 1800′s were presumably the starting point of a revolution in swim wear when Americans openly and publicly flocked to the beaches for seaside sports and recreation.

When public swimming, sun bathing and water sports became increasingly popular, the time was ripe for change in women’s swim wear. The necessity arose for a specially designed swim wear that not only protected one’s modesty but also convenient enough to engage in swimming and sports activities.

By the end of the 19th century, swimming had come to be recognized as an acceptable form of water activity and as well as an intercollegiate and Olympic sport. By the 1880′s the women’s swim wear was introduced, consisting of a blouse and trousers in one piece. There was also a separate skirt that extended below the knee with buttons at the waist to conceal the figure.

Then we had the swimsuits that started gradually exposing more and more skin. The beginning of the twentieth century signaled a bold era in swim wear for women. After that swimsuits began the trend of becoming more transparent and briefer. This was followed by a bikini or two-piece women’s swimwear consisting of two separate items – one covering the breasts and another covering the groin or the entire buttocks region. The rest of the torso was left uncovered.

As the women’s swim wears witnessed a gradual evolutionary process, men’s swim wear also underwent many changes over time. From the beginning men’s swim wear was distinctly different from the female’s suit, with pronounced characteristics of boxiness and solidity contrasted with the exaggerated curves of the women’s wear.

Though men were beginning to look sexier, there was still some controversy regarding baring the chest. However, men continued to fight for their right to expose their chest and by the early 1933, we had a convertible-style suit that allowed the top to be removed.

With women’s suits becoming more and more daring and flamboyant during the 1950′s and beyond, the male bathing costume saw an explosion of color patterns and fancy artwork.

Trends in Swimwear for Muslim Women

A revolution in the Muslim women’s swimwear – the burqini or burkini. Burkini means a combination of burqa and bikini. It is a type of swimsuit designed by Lebanese Austrialian designer Aheda Zanetti under the company name Ahiida. The suit covers the whole body except the face, hands and feet in accordance with Muslim views on modesty. It looks like a full-length wetsuit with a built-in hood, but is somewhat looser and made of swimsuit material. It is being described as the perfect Muslim/Islamic swimwear solution for Muslim women who want to swim but have reservations about “revealing” bathing suits.

The Bodykini is also designed to conform to Islamic values and is aimed at active Muslim women who can now emnjoy swimming in public areas or water sports.The bodykini is designed to enhance athletic performance and allows maximum movement while in or out of water.It also provides UV protection, from the sun’s rays.

These are an updated version of full-body swim wear which conforms to Islam’s conservative views on women’s dress. They are increasingly stylish, intricate sequin designs with miniskirts that go over long pants. The polyester, nylon and lycra material allows for flexible movement in water and does not cling to the woman’s body when she exits water.

The suits now being made are increasingly fashionable in moderate Muslim countries like Indonesia and Malaysia as well. They don’t absorb water and are very light and thin, so they’re safe and very comfortable. One of the top company producing Islamic bathing suits, Hasema, says he can’t produce them quick enough to keep pace with demand. The company exports to Egypt, North America, England and Australia. For many Muslim women, these suits offer the only alternative to wearing regular clothes when swimming.

In Egypt swimsuits for Muslim women are better known as “Sharia swimsuit”. They are part of a growing industry catering for religiously-observant women. It is no longer mainly the westernised elite that can afford such leisure activities as swimming. In such a conservative society, many women have until now either had to sit on one side or go into the water in their clothes. To them, the “Sharia swimsuit” offers one solution. It is a high-necked, swimming costume with sleeves and a small skirt, to be worn over long trousers.

The Hottest 2009 Swimwear Trends

Summer is just around the corner, and swimsuit trends are certainly making big headlines in the world of fashion. This year is particularly big with bikinis – although the one-piece suit continues to hold a secure place in the realm of classic swimwear. So whether you want to bare more with a bikini or cover up with a classic one-piece, there are a number of trends available for you this summer.

The hottest trends for 2009 include one-shoulder bikinis and monokinis. One-shoulder bikinis are ideal for adding a bit of shape to a bikini, as well as to draw attention to your top half. However, monokinis are perfect for anyone who wants the aesthetic perks of a bikini, without all the exposure. A monokini is a revealing one-piece suit; albeit, it’s still a one-piece – which means it’s more apt to stay together and keep you covered. It’s also easier to swim in a monokini – and if you choose the right one for your body type, it can be considerably more flattering than a traditional bikini.

Cut away swimwear and bikinis are another hot trend. Much like the one-shoulder trend, the cut away style offers interesting shapes and draws eyes to particular parts of the body. Want to draw attention to your shoulders? Opt for a cut away piece that has shapes cut out towards the top of your swimsuit. Alternatively, if you want to draw eyes to those abs you worked so hard to tone, wear a suit with some cut outs at the waist.

Another trend with regard to 2009 swimwear has to do with accessories. Let’s face it: wearing a swimsuit doesn’t always mean you plan to go for a swim. You may just want to work on your tan, or lounge comfortably in your suit. Or, perhaps you plan to attend a pool party where you want to look fashionable in your swimwear, without getting your toes wet. Swimwear accessories are expected to be very popular this summer, encompassing everything from sheer swimwear cover-ups and big sun hats to chunky jewellery that compliments a suit. So, whatever type of swimwear you opt for this summer, don’t go without the accessories!

Last, but not least, it’s important to keep a colour scheme in mind when shopping for a swimsuit this season. Because of the daring shapes in cutout bikinis, monokinis and one-shoulder styles, this season’s colour trends seem to veer towards solids and bold colours. After all, too many shapes and prints combined might prove to be overload. So when choosing a colour for your swimsuit, you’ll also want to keep your skin-tone in mind. Certain colours simply look better on certain skin tones.

Therefore, don’t just shop based on colours you normally like to look at – consider what will look best on you. That way, you are sure to find the right swimwear for your needs this summer.
