High waisted bikini

30 replies

Off on holiday on Saturday and have been looking for a high waisted bikini with no real success. I found a lovely striped one in Asda earlier but sadly no top left in my size. Has anyone seen any (not particularly spendy) that have taken their fancy - either online or in store? Thank you!

There’s usually lots on ASOS

I bought separates from curvissa. 36GG top and high waisted bottoms in a 20

Second ASOS. Was looking there for a bikini yesterday and to my annoyance they’re almost all high waisted.

New look had loads on line

supersalmon1 · 16/07/2018 17:18

Thanks all. Just had a look at ASOS and New Look and think I prefer some of the New Look ones so may well do a panic order later.

New Look sell a lot of stuff on ASOS so might be worth looking as well. ASOS next day delivery is very reliable and returns are super easy

Accessorize has loads. Cheaper at the airport. Gatwick today was really well stocked.

Why high-waisted? Primark?

Whenasuitcasejustwontdo · 16/07/2018 20:43

Hell bunny? When I ordered last week it was £2.50 per separate.

Why high-waisted? Primark?

I imagine because we don’t all want our belly out, but it’s nice to get a bit of sun on the midriff. Primark were all skimpy bottoms, no high waisted ones at all when I looked a couple of days ago. In fact their swimsuit offerings were pretty dire all round.

I got a lovely one from Matalan last year.

Boux Avenue-

Get the stripey bottoms that you loved and team with a plain coloured top. Mix and match looks funky

ChishandFips33 · 16/07/2018 21:02

Can't help with high waisted but I second the mix and match look

40andfeelingit · 16/07/2018 21:17

Sainsbury’s. I’ve got 2 from there in the past couple of weeks

supersalmon1 · 16/07/2018 21:32

I like the mix and match idea. New Look doesn't seem to have any matching tops in stock so I might need to do that anyway!

I got some on that saress website for £2.99 as closing down or try ebay

woodhill · 16/07/2018 21:35

Order came very quickly

Fig leaves. In my head, I'm a 50s starlet when i.wear them.

MsSquiz · 16/07/2018 21:42

I have bought 3 this summer, 1 from boux Avenue and 2 from Debenhams, all separates where the bottoms come in clothes sizes and tops in bra sizes.

Debenhams seem to have a lot in the sale at the moment:

Thank you everyone for the excellent suggestions! I have so many options now.

I found the Sainsbury’s ones really flattering and a good range of sizes
Not sure about stock levels currently though

Flisspaps · 16/07/2018 22:47

I got two from Amazon last year.

Me too, but holiday photos tell a different story - more like one of those BoPo bloggers who attract comments pretending to be concerned about their health Grin

Flaskfan · 17/07/2018 21:26

My giant, stripey red and white arse so stunned a waiter last yeat, that he dropped his tray of drinks.

Lookingforspace · 20/07/2018 14:22

Why high waisted ???
Because despite being effectively a size 11, my stomach is covered, and I mean covered, in hideous stretch marks from carrying 3x10lb babies. And being fair skinned, they still years later look purple and horrid. I don’t want them on show and I naturally feel much better when wearing a high waisted bikini bottom.
