We are Definitely on Team High Waisted Bikini Bottoms This Summer

High waisted bikini bottoms seem to be coming back in style with a vengeance. This season it seems like there are more and more options of different high waisted bikini bottoms styles and cuts. Why are they gaining so much popularity? There are a couple reasons why people are very on board with this trend right now. 

The Vintage Look

High waisted bottoms have a retro feel to them. Insider wrote a really interesting article titled, “From the 1800s to Now: Here's How Swimsuits have Changed Over the Years.” The article goes through the different changes in swimwear fashion over the past two centuries. In the article it says the “French designer Louis Reard created a daring two-piece swimsuit that would later be known as the first bikini in July 1946.” At this time, the two pieces resemble what we now call “high wasted.” This look is timeless and people love that! Stores such as REVOLVE have been sharing cute and retro high waisted bikini looks.

Comfort and Flattering

In my experience, wearing high waisted bikini bottoms I feel way more comfortable and confident! The shape is very flattering and gives me peace of mind that my suite provides coverage. Now, there are so many styles, you can find high waisted bottoms that are more revealing than the traditional swimwear- if you’re interested in that look. Modcloth also has great high waisted bikini options for this summer.

Overall, I like to keep a variation of different styles in my closet when it comes to swimwear. I certainly own bathing suites that are not high waisted but they are nice to have when you’re in the mood for that retro look.
