While I can't put my finger on exactly when I started opting for high-waisted swimwear exclusively (or, of course, one-pieces), I can tell you I'm glad the trend has lasted and is very much here to stay. After all, though my style could hardly be called modest, I find comfort in those extra few inches of material and have grown quite emotionally accustomed to them when hitting the beach. Can you relate?
If so, or if you're an equal opportunity swimwear shopper, I think you might enjoy this roundup of my favorite high-waisted bikinis. From the swimsuits I've loved for years to those I discovered on Instagram, shop my picks below and see how others wear them along the way!
