10 High-Waisted Bikinis That Will Up Your Swimsuit Game This Summer

Cute AND sexy!
Jennifer Choy

If Taylor Swift has taught us anything, it’s that latex, twin sets and high-waisted bikinis are a thing.

Whatever the red-lipped songstress touches seems to turn into a mega trend, so we’re not surprised her penchant for retro swimwear has caught on as well. We recently spotted a member of her girl squad, Gigi Hadid (dubbed "Slay-Z" in Tay Tay's "Bad Blood" music video), in a very Swift-esque bikini while frolicking in Miami.

And we don't blame them. As adorably quaint as high-waisted bikinis are, they also offer a stylish alternative for those who are a little shy, or choose to leave their belly buttons a mystery a la Swift.

Before it really heats up, get your hands on one of these high-waisted bikinis that offer extra coverage while emphasizing all the right curves:

High-Waisted Bikinis
New Look Gingham Extreme Bikini Top And Bottoms(01 of10)

Two big summer trends come together in the form of this cute gingham bikini from New Look. The supportive halter neck is perfect for women with a fuller bust and the plunging sweetheart neckline gives this wholesome bikini a little added edge. Top: $38.06, Bottoms: $25.37. Available at ASOS. (credit:ASOS)
Victoria Secret Lattice Push Up Bandeau And High-Waist Bottoms(02 of10)

Everyone needs an LBB (Little Black Bikini). Much like an LBD, you can’t go wrong with something simple and classic like this high-waisted option from Victoria Secret. A bandeau top is especially flattering on smaller chested women, calling attention to your shoulder and chest area. Top: $36, Bottoms: $25.50. Available at Victoria's Secret.

Marysia Jalama Top And Bottoms(03 of10)

Marysia swimwear exudes this effortless cool girl air with a side of quirk. The high-waisted Jalama bottoms and bikini top are both sporty and feminine, something we’d expect from designer, Maria Reeves who is a former surfer and ballerina. We especially love the criss cross back and mesh details of this piece from her resort ’15 collection. Top: $154, Bottoms: $154. Available at marysiaswim.com. (credit:Marysia)
Topshop Poppy Check Bikini Set(04 of10)

Topshop has become a great source for swimwear and the evidence lies in this sweet boho-printed bikini. A busy pattern is always a good idea if you’re trying to create or enhances curves. $65. Available at Hudson's Bay. (credit:Hudson's Bay)
Clover Canyon Floral Collage High-Waisted Bikini Set(05 of10)

Clover Canyon’s signature prints are a must-have this summer. Their impressive celebrity following includes the likes of Beyoncé, Zoe Saldana and Olivia Wilde amongst others. Need we say more? They’ve expanded to include swimwear and we couldn’t help but fall hopelessly in love with this floral high-waisted bikini set. $272.05. Available at gilt.com. (credit:Gilt.com)
River Island Orange Deep V Balconette Bikini Top And High Waisted Bottoms(06 of10)
Open Image Modal
Cutouts add a playful element to swimwear but be warned, they don’t exactly lend themselves to even tan lines. Still, we’re going to vouch for this limited-edition high-waisted bikini from River Island. The chic bottoms feature woven side details because sometimes, style isn’t the most practical and that’s more than okay with us. Top: $34, Bottoms: $28. Available at River Island.

She Made Me Crochet Top And High-Rise Bottoms(07 of10)
Open Image Modal
A crochet bikini isn’t for everyone but you can’t deny its boho-chic appeal. Any free-spirited beach-goer would appreciate this quaint suit from Aussie brand, She Made Me. All their swimsuits feature natural fibres and the brand’s signature antiqued cowrie shells. Top: $92, Bottoms: $92. Available at Anthropologie.com. (credit:Anthropologie)

You’re going to the ultimate beach party, so naturally, you’ll need the ultimate bikini to wear to the big event. Luckily, Zimmerman knows a thing or two about head-turning swimwear.
