9Swimsuit from the 1940s

The World War impacted people’s lives, even swimwear. They didn’t have the luxury to spend that much fabric on clothes.

This was how 2 pieces of swimwear were invented. Also, women tried to always roll up their swimsuits to get better-tanned skin. An underwear businessman named Louis Reard created the first bikinis for women in 1946. At first, opinions were divided because people were not still used to revealing so much of their bodies.
