On the definition of swimwear from the perspective of aesthetics and use

Oct 24, 2021

Contemporary swimwear has certain social and practical characteristics: swimwear is very close-fitting and reduces water resistance; from an aesthetic point of view, modern swimwear highlights a healthy body. According to the user classification, swimwear includes men's swimwear, women's swimwear, and children's swimwear. Among them, women's swimwear can be divided into one-piece swimwear, top and bottom swimwear, and bikini swimwear.

Swimwear is a special clothing designed for bathing and swimming. The close-fitting nature of swimwear makes it closely related to underwear. However, it is the swimsuit that made underwear enter the public domain. Therefore, the development history of swimwear reflects the relationship between physical habits and moral concepts. As a kind of clothing, swimwear has become simpler and less fabric used.

Bikini is one of the swimsuits that must be mentioned. Bikini is a new style of swimwear launched by a French swimwear designer in 1946. This kind of swimsuit is extremely thin and has very little material. It is said that it can be folded into a matchbox. Moreover, this kind of bikini swimsuit is almost naked after being worn, which caused a strong earthquake in the clothing industry at that time. The shock of this swimsuit is no less than the atomic bomb test carried out on Bikini Island, so it is called "bikini." A swimsuit is actually hooked on a small island, which shows that the bikini has subverted tradition and shocked culture.
