Style Icon: Clara Bow in the 1920s
In the 1920s, modest swimsuit styles ruled the swim scene featuring stripes, logos, and other athletic details. The most popular silhouette was the swim dress, which was a traditional one-piece maillot under a flirty, flared skirt. This style later evolved into boy-short bottoms and scoop-neck tankini tops toward the end of the decade. With the rise of burlesque and vaudeville, women’s fashion was transforming to be quite risqué and scandalous for the time.
