A Vintage Summer
You cant go wrong with a vintage swimsuit, they are much more flattering then the new suits of today. Plus the chance of any one else wearing the same suit as you, forget about it, because it most likely will never ever happen.

A Stunning Spectacle

Dont forget the vintage sunglasses.
Sunglasses have not always been exactly that, the technology was developed in China prior to 1430 and smoke-colored quartz lenses to conceal their eye expressions in court were used purpose and it wasn't to block the rays of the sun. Smoke tinting was the first means of darkening eyeglasses, These darkened lenses were not vision-corrected, nor were they initially intended to reduce solar glare. For centuries, Chinese judges had routinely worn smoke-colored quartz lenses to conceal their eye expressions in court. A judge’s evaluation of evidence as credible or mendacious was to remain secret until a trial’s conclusion. With World War II brewing in 1936, Ray Ban designed anti-glare aviator style sunglasses, using polarized lens technology newly created by Edwin H. Land, founder of the Polaroid Corporation. They also designed a slightly drooping frame perimeter to maximally shield an aviator’s eyes, which repeatedly glanced downward toward a plane's instrument panel. Fliers were issued the glasses at no charge, and the public in 1937 was able to purchase the model that banned the sun's rays as Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses.
