This ‘80s-Inspired Bikini Trend Is Going To Be Everywhere This Summer
Get ready to show some leg.
Every year there’s a certain style of swimwear that dominates the summer. Last year, it was upside-down triangle tops, which will still be hot this year, and chances are we’ll be pairing it with this season’s latest trend of high-cut bikini bottoms.
With its heyday going back to the ‘80s, high-cut (or high-leg) bikinis were, and still are, one of the cutest swimsuit styles around. It shows off way more leg than usual, which is the point and why we love it so much, and now, the retro look is back and better than ever. One quick scroll through Instagram will show that its well-worthy of a fit pic from the beach, and we have a feeling you’ll be seeing way more of it through the summer. Thankfully, you can easily get in on the trend, too, with a slew of options to choose from by some of our favorite swim brands.
If you’re taking a luxe post-vaccine vacay or just hitting the pool or beach with friends, there’s a high-cut bikini bottom out there for you. Up ahead, we’ve rounded up 17 different bottoms (and a few one-pieces, too) for you to wear this summer.
