25 Best High-Waisted Swimsuits — Because Retro Is Sexy
Never miss an opportunity to look good in a bathing suit.
It's that time of year again: going swimsuit shopping. With summer fast approaching, we may not have our "ideal" body yet and aren't quite excited to get to the beach or pool.
A high-waisted swimsuit may feel retro or like it's made for an older generation, but it's still pretty sexy. From strappy details to revealing cut-outs, there are a lot of high-waisted styles we're desperate to try — and some are value-priced too.
This style is great at showing off your every curve, which makes it ultra feminine and popular with celebrities (just check out Instagram!). But to get you started, here are some of our favorite styles.
