The slogan that popularized Animal Print Swimsuits

Animal prints are hot, hot, HOT in swimwear 2010 this year! You can find luxury swimwear in leopard print, tiger stripes, or even snakeskin print – whatever your animal fancy, swimwear designers are happy to provide (and so are we).

Animal print swimsuits were first seen in the 1950s. It was quite a revolution! Swimsuits had printed fabrics for years before that, but putting animal prints on swimsuits made a literal “splash.” In order to sell women on the idea of animal prints on their swimwear, advertisers came up with this tagline: “If you can’t drive a Jaguar, wear one.”

Me-ow! We sure would love to do both if possible: drive a sexy car and own luxurious animal print swimwear! But if we’re forced to chose, we’ll take the bikinis and head to the beach! Especially with choices like the Tamed Tiger Bandeau bikini from Sabz Luxury and the Bardot Ruffle bikini by ViX. Yes, please! Or you can check out the entire selection of animal print swimsuits to find what suits your inner animal.
