bathing costumes

Pool clothing items

Bathing costumes is a somewhat dated term for swimwear—garments worn for swimming or sunbathing.

The phrase evokes an era when swimwear was more modest and elaborate: Victorian bathing costumes covered most of the body.

Modern usage tends toward swimsuit, bathing suit, or simply swimwear.
