Bambi Northwood-Blyth Rocks Some Vibrant Retro Bikinis

In the new editorial for Vogue Netherlands's July issue, model Bambi Northwood-Blyth showcases some colorfully modernized seventies swimwear. Each outfit featured in the editorial is vibrant, chic and seasonally versatile. Northwood-Blyth wears some of her bikinis with oversized sweaters, button-up tops and even tuques, demonstrating that fall and winter fashion can be combined with summer fashion for a grungy, boho look.

The most eye-catching swimsuit modeled by Northwood-Blyth in the editorial is a flattering, light-orange ensemble. As a 70s-era bathing suit, the bikini offers more coverage than the modern prototype, making for a flattering beach get-up. The bikini's top is a halter, giving ample support for everyone.

These cute bikinis are perfect for summer weather and hot days at the beach. With a retro influence and bright colors, these swimsuits are sure to turn heads and drop jaws.
