What better way to celebrate the first of the New Year than with a blast from the past? Call it Betty Grable redux: 1995 is ringing in a renaissance of ’40s retro flash with padded shoulders, cinched waists and stiletto heels.

Swimsuits this season look like a page out of those swimsuit calendar photos the boys in uniform stuck on their barracks walls.
Look up-to-the-minute in maillots that hug the curves without exposing them and skirted suits that embrace the hips and forgive their shortcomings. With these the up-and-at-’em underwire gizmos gracing these suits, you can leave your Wonderbra at home.
And may auld acquaintances be remembered.
