Historical Video: 1957 Bermuda Beach Fashion
This 1957 video that showcases beachwear popular in Bermuda at that time offers a particular focus on bathing suit styles, highlighting the island’s draw for those looking to escape harsh northern winters in favour of sun and beaches.
The video’s voice over says, “Bermuda, which has given us shorts and the onion, here offers some stylish beaches.
“The fashion accent of this fortunate Atlantic isle is on beach wear. For when most of the northern hemisphere tries to escape the weather, gals here bask in it – correctly dressed, of course.”
Fashions with a “Bermuda Touch”:
“For instance, the sarong bathing suit. The suit comes with a matching patio-length wraparound sarong skirt.
“Let’s see what Santa delivered under this umbrella. This one comes with a bow – the suit that is. Cotton fringe shorts and matching camisole top with cotton crape wraparound blouse.
“Fashions with a Bermuda touch. And for the final scene, our cameraman is ever the clever chap.”
