Love old-school tetris and consider yourself an aquatic enthusiast? This geometric retro gamer swimsuit is right up your alley! Featuring iconic images from the much-loved geometric game, this is a bathing suit that draws attention for all the right reasons.
Black Milk Clothing, a clothing company that has created similar cubic designs, has added a swimsuit to its nostalgic collection. Simple in design and featuring a chic black backdrop, the bathing suit balances quirkiness with a classic silhouette. The one-piece is a distinct update to otherwise played out plain black beachwear. The quirky swimsuit is durable, made with a mix of LYCRA, Polyester and Nylon, and is being sold on limited release.
Observed closely, the Tetris game featured on the retro gamer swimsuit doesn't appear to be overly successful. Regardless, this way back playback swimwear is a winner.
