If you're not a fan of the itsy-bitsy, teenie-weenie (yellow polka-dot) bikini, nor do you want to wear a full swimsuit, then the high waisted bikini is the perfect option for you. Not only do they offer more coverage, they can also be far more flattering than you might think.
We've search the internet for the best high waisted bikinis for every body shape. And don't worry, if you're expecting to scroll through several 50s-inspired designs, with frills and polka-dots, you're sorely mistaken. Although the high waisted bikini was born in Marilyn's era, we've selected some modern and minimal designs too. Although, in an ideal world, we advise that every high waisted bikini should be worn with a hibiscus flower in your hair, and ideally, an Aperol spritz in hand.
