9 Top Places to Buy Affordable Best High Waist Bikini

The countdown to summer is on, and if you're ready to make your swimwear debut, one of the best high-waist bikinis is a must-have. For years, the swimsuit style has been a staple in beach wardrobes, but with eager to make a statement this summer, we see higher rises and higher cuts than ever before. High-waist bottoms are ideal for pool parties, sun-drenched rooftop sessions (with SPF, of course), and your first warm-weather vacation since the pandemic began.

The high-rise fit is endlessly adaptable, combining the sexiness of a bikini with the coverage of a complete bathing suit—plus, it goes with nearly any top (: bandeaus, triangle, or one-shoulder styles). What's better? High-waist pants come in a variety of shapes to suit various body types: shorter torsos may choose a mid-rise bottom that merely kisses the belly button, while those with longer torsos may prefer an ultra-high-rise base that grazes the ribcage. Here are some brands that make shopping on a budget easier, coupled with your ideal bikini

1. Girlfriend Collective Aqua Poolside Bikini Bottom

Girlfriend Collective has released swimwear, and the styles are flying off the shelves. These eco-friendly bottoms come in sizes XXS to 6XL and are double lined with a seamless leg opening. If the hue is too shiny for you, the brand also offers it in black, Equator (a traditional taupe), Spritz (a Valencia orange), and Koi (a Japanese orange) (a poppy red).

2. Reformation Havana Bikini Bottom

Simple, comfortable, and stylish, with a broad waistband that rests high on the ribcage for plenty of coverage (large torsos, rejoice!). When you're in the mood for a mid-rise look, fold the band over.

3. Vitamin A Barcelona Bottom

A leopard print belongs in every swimsuit collection. Vitamin A's bottoms have a seamless fit (no tugging required), and the fabric—made from recycled nylon and Lycra—is so light and comfy that you'll forget you're wearing anything at all.

4. Oséree Color-Block Stretch-Lurex Bikini

With these patchwork bottoms by Oserée, you can get into the current '70s vibe. The glistening Lurex fabric screams to be worn at a completely vaxxed beach party. Of course, if you wear it with the matching skirt, you'll get bonus .

5. Summersalt The High Legs High Rise Bottom

Summersalt's size-inclusive bathing suits are engineered to fit a wide range of sizes and body types, making shopping for bikinis and one-pieces a breeze.

In addition, the starry-print bottoms are part of a limited-edition capsule with The Edit, and all of its swimwear is under $100. So, please take advantage of it before it sells out, as happened with last year's Summersalt swim collaboration.

6. Mara Hoffman Tie-Dye Recycled Bikini Briefs
