Which style do you prefer?
Siblu is famous for its outstanding pool complexes on each of its campsites in France, so we thought we would look at trends through the ages of swimwear, starting from the early twentieth century!
Swimwear came to prominence in the early 1900s, when the Victorians introduced all-in-ones reaching down to the elbow and below the knees.
The 1920s saw the launch of the Speed Suit, with fitted trunks and armholes instead of long sleeves.
In the 1930s, Olympic swimmer and Tarzan actor Johnny Weismuller championed swimming gear with low cut arms on a tank top, a naturally fitting waist and a pair of full trunks.
A new flamboyance came to swimwear design in the 1950s, with the middle-classes championing loud designs and matching boxer-style trunks and shirts.
The 1960s saw the launch of Speedos, with swimming shorts made shorter than ever before.
Hippie chic ruled the 1970s and men's swimwear got longer and baggier, with cutoff shorts a favourite.
Musclebound posers in the 1980s ensured that tight lycra briefs became popular again - all the better to compliment big muscles.
Swimwear went long again in the 1990s, with loosely fitting surf board shorts all the rage.
And into the 2000s, hemlines came back above the knee and shorts with bold patterns became the favourite option.
