When it comes to style, let your creativity shine! Elegant solid colors, tropical prints, leopard designs, nautical stripes, or retro polka dots—there’s something for every personality in the Banana Moon collection. Go bold with neon, or keep it sleek with classic black. Create your signature look, whether you’re into vintage charm or modern minimalism.

Wondering if this two-piece style is right for you? With our expert tips, learn how to choose and wear your high-waisted swimsuit with confidence, comfort, and style.

How to wear a high-waisted swimsuit?

Often associated with retro fashion, the high-waisted bikini bottom actually works with a wide variety of styles. Try pairing it with a push-up, balconette, or bra-style top for a glamorous vintage vibe. For a sportier look with added support, go for a bralette. Prefer a leg-lengthening effect? High-cut designs visually elongate your legs for an effortlessly sexy silhouette.

As a bold fashion piece, your swimsuit deserves a complete look when you’re out of the water. A beach dress, kimono, or pareo will turn heads while keeping things chic and easy-going. A flowy dress with a tropical print creates a bold summer look, while a tied pareo at the waist gracefully highlights your curves. Don’t forget your sandals, straw hat, and a few gold accessories to finish the outfit!

Which body types suit high-waisted swimsuits?

Thanks to their shaping effect, high-waisted swimsuits provide great support, sculpt your curves, and slim the waist—all while flattering nearly every body type. For a clean, minimalist look, choose a solid-color bottom. You can also play with fabric: ribbed or textured materials (like our signature scrunchy mix) add subtle style. Prints are another safe bet—florals and tropical patterns are summer classics.

Our collections are made to suit your unique tastes and shape, with a wide range of cuts at accessible prices, designed for all body types.

Which top to wear with high-waisted bottoms?

Your choice depends on your style and your shape. Triangle tie tops highlight small busts and enhance the shoulders. Bralettes provide comfort and a sporty edge, while balconette styles offer great support and shape for fuller busts.

Want to stand out and express your style? Mix & match is the way to go—combine different shapes, textures, and colors to create a totally unique bikini. By mixing your top and bottom, you can emphasize your silhouette or balance proportions exactly how you like.

Are high-waisted swimsuits good for petite women?

Yes! They visually elongate the legs—especially high-cut styles that show more hip and create a strong vertical line. This cut is perfect for smaller frames. To maximize the effect, go for solid colors or vertical stripes, which enhance the long-and-lean look. Avoid horizontal lines or bulky details on the hips, as they break up the silhouette and shorten the figure.

Where to shop eco-friendly high-waisted swimsuits?

Many of our styles are made from recycled materials like ECONYL®, a regenerated nylon made from marine waste. Others are designed with an upcycling approach. Style, comfort, and conscious fashion come together in bikinis that are both sustainable and desirable.

How to take care of your high-waisted swimsuit

A quality swimsuit can last for years—if you treat it right! Rinse it with fresh water after every swim to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Skip frequent machine washes and use a gentle soap for hand washing instead. Avoid dryers and direct sunlight, which can damage elasticity, fibers, and color.

To keep its shape, dry it flat in the shade. Check out our full care tips to make your high-waisted favorite last season after season.
