Retro bathing caps (like the ones worn in the 50’s by synchronized swimmers) are making a big comeback. Since swimming in your wig isn’t something we recommend (since it’s generally a large investment and it’s not worth the risk of ruining it), a retro bathing cap is a great way to take full advantage of summertime water sports.
Below are five of our all-time favorite bathing caps. Let us know which one is your favorite!
1. Vintage 1960 PETALS Swim Cap
A stylish, but understated swim cap like this great vintage find from the 60s. Plus, the white color means it’s not too attention-drawing, but the petals give it some fun definition and patterns to keep it interesting.
2. Vintage Floral Latex Bathing Cap
This vintage latex bathing cap is similar to the PETALS swim cap, but has a more definitive floral pattern. We love this one because while the color is still understated, the cap is still a head turner and gorgeous.
3. Teal Retro-Style Ruched Bathing Cap
A simple cap with a bolder color makes for a great beach addition. This fun style is made by hand and shipped from Australia. We love the single flower accent on the side!
4. Vintage Style Blue with White Flowers Bathing Cap
This vintage-style, stretchy latex bathing cap with attached flowers is one of our favorite (and most colorful) swimming caps.
5. Black Floral Emboss Swim Cap
Black creates a sleek, sophisticated look, and that’s exactly what this vintage latex floral number offers for beachgoers and swimmers who want something a little more refined.
What about you? What are your absolute must-haves for going swimming and heading to the beach?
