How can you style bikini bottoms?

You can mix and match your bikini top and bottoms to create your own unique set, whether you’re matching solid colours or pairing a patterned brief with a plain top. There are also plenty of accessories you can add to your bikini bottoms, like swim skirts, sarongs, or belts.

What are the most flattering bikini bottoms?

The most flattering bikini bottoms are the ones that fit you best and make you feel your most confident. Everyone is different, so it’s a good idea to try different styles to see what you like best. You could try a high-waisted design for more coverage or our Tanga Brazilian style for a little less. If you’re unsure, you can always speak to us.

What are Brazilian style bikini bottoms?

Brazilian style bikini bottoms have high cut legs and offer less coverage, for a bold look. They’re designed to sit higher on your hips and are cut between a classic brief and a thong on the back. They also often offer different side styles, like ties, buckles or narrow straps.

Should bikini bottoms be tight or loose?

Bikini bottoms should not be tight or loose – instead, they should fit snugly around your waist and legs. Too tight, and the fit could be uncomfortable. Too loose, and you might not get the coverage and support you need. Bikini bottoms need to stay in place comfortably as you swim.

Do bikini bottoms stretch over time?

It is possible for bikini bottoms to stretch over time, so it’s best to take good care of your swimwear to prolong the fabric’s life. All you need to do is wash your bikini in cold water after you swim to get rid of excess chlorinated or salt water. For more information, take a look at our swimwear care guide.

What are different bikini bottoms called?

There are a number of different types of bikini bottoms, and you can mix-and-match each with different colours and styles of bikini tops to create your perfect set. They include: Swim briefs. Your classic bikini bottoms. Tie sides. Feature adjustable strings on the hips. High-waisted. Sit above your belly button and provide tummy control. Brazilian. Sit high on the hips, designed to show off your legs. Tanga. The middle ground between a Brazilian cut and a thong.
