Swimsuit Season

Clarence Trefry

$24.99

Did you know that this man is wearing a swimsuit? Because he totally is. Believe it or not, this is what men's swimwear looked like during the first decade or so of the 20th century. Since Rye, New Hampshire was a resort town with lots of beach appeal, it makes sense that this guy would be out and about in his swimwear. I have to admit, I'm a bit envious of this guy, who looks like he's on his way back to the Farragut House Hotel from the beach. Alas, photo lovers. Our summer times will come soon enough. This relic of fashion history is brought to us by photographer Clarence Trefry, who was active around Rye, New Hampshire at the turn of the century.
