Which body types are best suited to high-waisted bikinis?
Here at HELLO! we celebrate all body types, but if you’re wondering whether a high-waisted bikini is a perfect match for you then there are some things you’ll want to know.
High-waisted bikinis are typically suited to anyone with an hourglass, pear or a diamond-shaped figure, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some gorgeous options out there if you don’t fall into one of those categories.
Women with longer torsos – no matter their height – are particularly suited to this type of swimwear as there is a specific emphasis on the waist. Think Keira Knightley, Taylor Swift or Marilyn Monroe.
Overall, it’s important to remember that the key here is confidence. While certain body types are regarded as more suited to the high-waisted bikini than others, that doesn’t mean it’s not for you. What matters most is what you feel good in!
