Why is every bikini in the shops high leg?

I understand it may be this year’s fashion, but I really hate high leg bikini bottoms (swimwear not underwear)?! And not to think about the wax I’d have to get?

Has anyone seen any normal bikini bottoms (like old school bikini briefs) available anywhere?

Bonus points for matching bikini tops too!

Thank you :)

I don’t mind a higher leg but NONE of them have enough butt cheek coverage. Bikini shopping 2025 is thus far a disaster.

I have bought mid rise from belle lingerie

Ooh thank you. No matching tops in my size. Might be worth just getting some black bottoms though :)

I wear black bottoms (sometimes with side details) and then wear a non matching bra sized bikini top

Yeah I think that’s what I’m going to do this year. Thank you previous poster for the link to the bottoms !

I get mine from Pour Moi as am generous of boob and need to buy proper bra sizes. And they have big pants too 😄
They are more expensive than high street but fit sooooo well

Yes! I’ve noticed the same thing. It’s seems to be the fashion these days. Luckily I still have some that fit but I’m not looking forward to when I have to buy a new one. I wouldn’t be able to wear one without taking care of everything down there.
