Summer is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to start swimsuit shopping. Finding your perfect bathing suit isn’t always easy but with more options to choose from than ever, we’re pretty sure there’s a stylish suit, or several, that will fit your vibe–and your bod.

Over the years, like all fashion, swimsuits have evolved with the times. Where women were once required to cover up from head to toe, now we enjoy all sorts of sartorial freedom when it comes to our water wardrobes. So rather than stress about bathing-suit shopping, take a minute to appreciate how far we’ve come with a look back at the history of swimsuits.
