When the wetsuit was invented by physicist Hugh Bradner in 1952, its only purpose was to keep swimmers warm by trapping air in neoprene fabric, which acts as insulation between the water and the body. Today, wetsuits have become more stylish with bold patterns, bright colors and beautiful details. Now, you can show off your personality and style in these gorgeous wetsuits.
