Bollywood style bearers are often opting for high waist pants, polka dots, and headbands these days. Thus, it is safe to assume that the style quotient from the eighties and nineties with big hair and louder prints are now coming back. Bollywood beauties have fallen once again for the retro trend. They are often seen during events and appearances donning the retro trend. These style statements are passed down to many women who follow similar trends. However, the retro trend has witnessed style evolution in terms of bikinis as well.

Is the retro or the yesteryear bikini trend followed by today’s generation as well?
