High-Cut Bikini Bottoms

Bikini bottoms that sit high on the hips, make your legs look longer and leave plenty of cheek out.

The cut, on a body

Put the leg line up here

High-cut bikini bottoms sit up on the hip and make your legs go on forever. High cut is about the leg opening, not the waistband, and it does not automatically mean a thong back. Pull them up, get in the sun, let your legs have the extra screen time.

High cut because your legs deserve the attention.

Questions before you get undressed

What is the difference between high-cut and high-waist bikini bottoms?

High cut describes the leg opening at the hip. High waist describes where the waistband sits on the torso. A bottom can be one, both, or neither.

Do high-leg bikini bottoms make legs look longer?

A raised leg opening exposes more of the hip and creates a longer uninterrupted leg line. The visual effect varies by product and how you place it.

What is the difference between high-cut and cheeky?

High cut describes the leg. Cheeky describes the amount and shape of back coverage.

Less coverage, this way
