How to Take Vintage Swimsuits Beyond the Pool

From Ieishah Clelland, former About.com Guide

Be at your pool party best in a floral-printed 1950's bathing suit, so modest that it makes for full on a romper in 2012! Accessorized with a little matching belt, this type of playsuit is perfect for those days that you might be near water, but not necessarily want to go in it. It's a bathing suit on those days you just want a bit more coverage.

How to Wear It: Throw on a pair of colored flats and make an outfit of it. Many vintage suits come with cover up; consider wearing them separately. The suit pictured comes with a bell-sleeved cover-up in the same material that you can throw over shorts and a tank for a breezy day look!
