EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the roaring twenties with these fashionable bathing suits as depicted in the cover illustration of The Spheres womens section from 1927. The illustration showcases three stylish women, each donning a unique and trendy swimsuit. On the right, a woman wears an American wasp-stripe bathing suit from Lily-whites of Picadilly. The vertical stripes add a sleek and modern touch to her swimsuit, making it a popular choice among the fashion-conscious women of the era. On the left, another woman is seen wearing a Canadian checked plain wool bathing suit also from Lily-whites of Picadilly. This suit, with its classic checked pattern, offers a cozy and chic alternative to the traditional cotton swimsuits. Wool bathing suits were gaining popularity due to their ability to keep the wearer warm in cooler temperatures, making them ideal for swimming in outdoor pools or lakes. At the bottom, a woman wears a tailored tweed suit designed by Kenneth Durward. This suit, while not a traditional bathing suit, is a testament to the versatility of the fashion trends of the 1920s. The woman pairs her tweed suit with a cap, adding a touch of sophistication to her look. The Criterion buildings and Mansfields cap in the background further emphasize the urban setting of the scene. These fashionable bathing suits and outfits reflect the diverse and ever-evolving fashion trends of the 1920s. From wasp-stripe suits to checked wool bathing suits and tweed suits, women had a wide range of options to choose from when it came to swimming and bathing attire. These stylish women were not just bathing or swimming, they were making a statement, embodying the spirit of the 1920s with their fashionable choices.
