High Waisted Bikini

Hunkemöller High-waisted bikinis

The high-waisted bikini has been a staple in swimwear for several seasons now. Thanks to the higher waistline, the bottoms fit snugly around your waist and create a streamlined silhouette.

A high-waisted bikini is ideal if you prefer a little more coverage without compromising on style. Whether you’re relaxing on the beach or lounging by the pool, with a high-waisted bikini you’re choosing a style that’s both timeless and on-trend.

High-waisted bikini bottoms have a higher waistline than classic bikini briefs. They usually sit just below or at the navel. This accentuates the waist and makes your legs look longer.

Features of high-waisted bikini bottoms:

• higher waist for extra coverage

• comfortable, fitted cut

• suitable for various body types

• available in a range of styles, from basic to high-waisted string bikinis

High waist or high leg?

A high-waisted bikini is sometimes confused with a high-cut style. The difference lies in the cut:

High-waisted: the waistline is cut higher and covers more of the tummy.

High-cut: the leg opening is cut higher, making your legs look longer.
