As the repetitive rising and falling of women’s waistbands—from a super high rise in the ‘80s to ultra-low rise in the ‘00s and back again—demonstrates, fashion is cyclical. Styles that were once very popular before slowly falling out of fashion are likely to make their way back to the top of the trend charts once again—usually at least a few decades after their original rise to widespread popularity.
One of these buried trends which has recently made a major comeback in the world of women’s fashion is the high leg bikini. While the high cut bikini—which was originally popular in the 1980s—has been lingering on the outskirts of trend charts for the past few seasons, summer 2019 has marked its official resurgence in modern women’s fashion as this throwback trend has climbed to the top of the trend charts yet again.
The descriptor ‘high leg’ that sets high leg bikinis apart from other swimwear styles refers only to these swimwear styles’ high-cut leg openings. In fact, high-cut leg openings are really the only shared characteristic that all high leg bikinis have in common. As such, the styles that qualify as high leg bikinis are extremely diverse and include bikini styles that feature a wide variety of different cuts in back and in front.
The leg openings of high leg bikinis rise up above your hips to create a high waisted fit that dips down slightly at the front center of your midsection. The resulting fit effortlessly flatters your curves while helping your waist appear slimmer, your tummy look flatter, and your legs look longer.
Another important thing to note about high leg bikinis is that their fit incorporates another women’s fashion trend from the 1980s that has undergone a major resurgence in trendiness and popularity in recent seasons—high-waisted bottoms. If you were to go out today, you’d be hard-pressed to find a woman wearing low-rise pants in public. These days, it’s all about the high waist. Everything from women’s athleisure leggings to basic jeans to bikini bottoms are more readily available with a high-waisted fit.
It’s no big wonder why high-waisted bottoms have made such a comeback in the world of women’s fashion. High-waisted jeans, leggings, skirts, etc. are super comfortable, practical, ultra-versatile and easy to pair with a wide variety of different styles on top. Plus, all that’s not to mention that high-waisted bottoms are also effortlessly flattering for women of every body type, shape, and size. They somehow manage to enhance the natural beauty of curvy figures just as well as they highlight the assets of women with more petite and athletic figures. High-waisted bottoms’ re-rise to the top of the trend charts in the mid-to-late 2010s is responsible for boosting the body confidence of women everywhere. Luckily, high leg bikinis include the same characteristics that make high-waisted bottoms universally flattering—with the added bonus that high leg bikini also naturally balance your figure and help your legs look longer.
