High waisted bikinis are the best of both worlds. You get the confidence of a two piece with a little extra coverage through the middle, plus a silhouette that lengthens the legs and nips in at the waist. The look started as pure retro pin-up, but today it comes in everything from neon to sequins to strappy garter details. These six picks from the high waisted swimsuits collection at AMIClubwear cover every mood, from classic beach day to all-out pool party.
1. The Classic Black Bandeau
Every swim drawer needs one. A strapless black bandeau paired with a high waisted bottom is sleek, timeless, and flattering on just about everyone. Add oversized sunglasses and a red lip for old Hollywood glamour, or throw on a sarong for an easy beach-to-lunch look. Shop the Black Bandeau High Waisted 2 Piece Swimsuit.
2. The Retro Polka Dot
Nothing says pin-up like polka dots. This mint bandeau set is playful and sweet, and the soft color looks fresh against a summer tan. Style it with a headscarf, cat-eye sunglasses, and wedge sandals for a full vintage moment. Shop the Mint Polka Dot Bandeau High Waist Two Piece Swimsuit.
3. The Sequin Fringe Bandeau
When the invite says pool party, go for sparkle. Red sequins and swinging fringe turn this bandeau set into a showstopper that catches the light with every move. It is made for Vegas daybeds, birthday trips, and anywhere you want to be the center of attention. Shop the Red Fringe Sequins Bandeau Two Piece Swimsuit.
4. The Garter Strap Bikini
Want high waisted with an edge? Criss-cross straps and garter details give this red set a bold, lingerie-inspired look that is anything but granny-style. It still offers the flattering high rise, just with a lot more attitude. Shop the Red Cross Strap Garter High Waist Two Piece Swimsuit.
5. The Love Halter Set
A halter top gives great support and lift, and this all-white set keeps it clean and bright. White is perfect for showing off a tan and pairs with any cover-up you already own. It is also a cute pick for a bachelorette beach weekend. Shop the White Love Halter High Waist Two Piece Swimsuit.
6. The Neon O-Ring Strappy Set
Neon is made for sunshine. This orange set adds strappy cutouts and O-ring hardware for a modern, sporty take on the high waisted trend. It pops in photos and is impossible to miss in a crowded pool. Shop the Neon Orange O-Ring Strappy Two Piece Swimsuit.
Quick Tips for Finding Your Best High Waisted Fit
The waistband should sit at or just above your natural waist without digging in, so check the size chart and go by your hip measurement for the bottom. If you want extra bust support, choose a halter or strappy top over a strapless bandeau. Balance matters too: a bold top like sequins or neon looks great with a simple bottom, while a busy print works best head to toe as a set.
