Swimming like a sport was launched in the Olympic Games as 1896 in Athens.

Preserving the changing situations, swimwear in addition has seen an evolution. While in the days when swimming was largely a military craft, knights needed to learn to swim with their armour on. Of course, you won’t get anyone carrying an armour while swimming today! But in comparison with contemporary swimwear, swimwear in the 1920’s may appear like an armour for some. In fact, till as recently whilst the early 20th century, women swimwear had to include feet, hands and the neck.

Consequently, ladies swimwear started getting smaller, although shrinkage was steady. From completely lined gowns, by the early 20th century, women’s swimwear graduated to fully lined container suits to 2 piece gowns. In of a decade, arms and the legs of the tank suits began getting smaller, thus revealing over their predecessors. From the mid-20th century, present day swimwear once we know it, began making an appearance with two-piece swimsuits and corset swimwear, for within the legs with short skirts, spandex and plastic turned the preferred material for their stretch properties.

I’ve just been notified that work is sending me overseas in December for 6 weeks to help out with an international conference and trade show. It’s a great opportunity and I’m so excited. It’s in Berlin in Germany, which is a city I’ve been desperate to visit for a long time. Obviously I’m going to need to do a bit of shopping before I go – after all, it’s going to be winter over there in December and everywhere in Melbourne is only really stocking summer stock. I searched for winter jackets for women online and came across Toscani. They’re a boutique store based in Brisbane that luckily can ship to Melbourne and I found myself a stunning winter jacket that’s going to be perfect for the Berlin winter. It’s nice and thick and made of wool, and I can see myself wearing it every day over there. So for beautiful jackets for women, I’d suggest Toscani every time.
