PG's boob window? It's empowering or a symbol placeholder or something.
Helena's bare abs? She worked out a lot.
Wonder Woman's whole ensemble?



It has been explained before with the Diana Trevor story, though I guess a tip of the hat to a woman who gave her life to aid them wasn't good enough. Really drilling that in with Hippolyta wearing the flag in the scene right before this yet dropping the connection in favor of some coincidental weather and a few stars that might be Cassiopeia.

For a moment there I almost thought this was closer to the present day, ignoring the sudden break in the story, and they might actually be trashing the swim suit in favor of something less ridiculous.

Silly, optimism. Sensible clothing is for kids* (and men).

*If you know of something that contradicts this, please don't tell me. I don't want to know.

You're assuming that everyone in Ancient Greece shared that mindset, when they wouldn't have done. The warriors of Greece would have had the same perspective, but that;'s far from everybody. The average PERSON (farmer, trader etc) would have been aware of the perspective but would not have shared it automatically, since not everyone would have carried a sword. A trader would be more wary of someone carrying a sword when there was no actual war on.
