A little retro, a little modern, high-waisted bikinis are a stylish swimwear choice from getaways to pool parties and every warm-weather destination in between. Offering a chic reveal of skin and a little more coverage than itsy-bitsy Brazilian cuts and stringy sets, these two pieces nip in at the waist for a figure-flattering effect that accentuates all shapes and sizes. From dusty hues to playful animal prints and impeccably minimal silhouettes, shop our new-season favorites ahead.
