Help me find a flattering high waisted bikini please!

we’re going to Asia in November and I’d love a bikini top that’s not push up style and some high waisted but high leg bottoms if that’s possible, without the frump!
im a 10 bottom and 12 top, 5” ( if that matters) Lots of sales so hopeful but no luck yet so wanted to ask the hive mind!
just had a look on Cupshe but the tops are a bit ‘hello boys’ and the material is a lot of polyadamide/ spandex; I know there needs to be stretch but would be great to have something a bit less manmade or maybe from recycled stuff.
there was one such advertised on here but the colours were olive green or brown which def wouldn’t suit me - you probably know the one :)
any help gratefully appreciated!
TIA

I got mine in Next - for my holiday in Asia! - I got IT in black and bought the to and bottom separately, although they do match. High rise bottoms with a twirl bit of material in them and crinkle cut bandeau top that can be worn strapless. It was really flattering and comfy 😊

I'm only commenting as I've been looking for the same thing. Cupshe seem to be saying you can't return if no good which put me off. I'm off to Next in a minute so I'll look in there and report back later

Try belle lingerie. They sell separates and often have reduced prices

Schoolchoicesucks · 17/08/2024 08:48

Try stardusst.com/products/block-bikini-sets

Man-made fabrics and shipping wasn't super fast but fits the high waist requirement and the top isn't push up (on me!). Doesn't come in separate sizing but I think it's pretty forgiving.

I got a really nice bikini from John Lewis this year, own brand. I'd advise going into the shop - they had a lot to choose from.

Boden have a lovely navy halter high waisted bikini

CocoPlum · 17/08/2024 08:59

I really love the Gorgeous ones in Debenhams (the website can be slow) if you're a D cup or above. Unfortunately they don't seem to have 30 back qny more but if you're a 32 you'll be good. I got a lovely high waisted, non hello boys bikini last year.

NortheastYankee · 17/08/2024 13:29

Try PourMoi

John Lewis have some great ones that are now on sale (slightly upsettingly as I spent a fortune a few weeks ago on them!)

whoknowswhattodonow · 18/08/2024 18:36

This is the one I got from Next. I think it's really flattering. The twist hides a lot of my issues.

I got two lovely ones from Curvy Kate via Brastop. Free bikini bottoms so a bargain!

Boden are fab and you can mix and match. Comfy too and long lasting

I have few from here: Understatement - it’s a scandi company and makes swimwear from recycled materials. You can mix and match styles and they are super comfy.

Some of these are lovely and so nice to see them worn by real women of different sizes! Love the sustainability factor too. Never heard of them, thanks!

Yes I like Boden but I bought a swimsuit last year and it’s really baggy around the legs, too late to return so I’m reluctant to go there again

Wow! I just bought a gorgeous high waisted set from Belle by Por Moi for £30 in the sale - thanks very much, now I’m sorted ☺️

I ordered several bikinis from cupshe on the advice of the style & beauty forum and they're much better quality than I was expecting. Some of the tops were lacking in the support and didn't fit well at all (ones that were this style at the back Two-Tone Cross Back Bikini Top & Mid-Rise Bottoms Set-Cupshe UK) but the bottoms were all a good fit and returning stuff wasn't an issue at all. You have to pay the postage on returns but you email back proof of postage and the refund was in my account within the hour. Even though you buy them as bikini sets when you come to return them you can return just the top or bottom half of the set. I wear a 12 in most things (sometimes a 10 on top) and the medium fits me fine.
