Shorts, pants, skirts, bikini bottoms. What do they all have in common? The all are (usually) more flattering when you make them high-waisted.
Why go high-waisted? Because this style is not only trendy and whimsical, it’s also supremely flattering. If you don’t believe me, go out and try this style for yourself. Spoiler alert: It makes your tummy look super flat.
High-waisted bottoms hit most women at their smallest part, which makes your waist look teeny tiny while holding everything in place. It’s like Spanx except not embarrassing. Even girls with shorter torsos (like me!) can pull this look off, provided they keep their top a bit more fitted. You legs also look longer since the high waist provides the illusion that they go up higher than they do.
If you’re not too concerned about all that, consider this: High-waisted stuff is just plain cute. It’s sort of retro but also sort of modern, and you should all go out and buy high-waisted bikini bottoms because they’re amazing. Anyway, let’s take a look at some of the hot little pieces you should get your hands on ASAP.
