What do you think about high waisted bikini bottoms?

[lizardbc]

This came up when I was planning spring break with some of my friends... personally I love them. They accentuate my waist, are incredibly flattering, and still look cute without showing a lot of skin. My friends, on the other hand, think that they are frumpy and look like diapers._.

Explain why you think what you think!

[xColinx]

I mean, objectively, the black bottoms the model is wearing in the pic you posted looks virtually identical to the same thing a grandma wears as spanx/adult diapers.

On a younger person, I'm not saying it looks ridiculous but it's not "attractive" but at the same time... who cares? Wear what makes you feel comfortable. Guys can wear whatever type of unattractive shorts (and shirt) to the beach and it's considered fine & normal, so girls/women should obviously be able to do the same.

[lizardbc]

Ugh, maybe I should've used another model with a different suit but whatever at this point.

And yeah I don't care whatever anyone else says, mostly wanted to use this as ammunition for my argument lol. Tried my best to convince people but *shrug*

[xColinx]

Hmmm not quite sure what you mean. Convince people of what? Fashion is arbitrary, always changing, subjective.

Like I said before, wear what makes you comfortable, but trying to convince peeps that your opinion of what is cute & flattering should be the same as theirs doesn't really make sense.

[lizardbc]

Convince people that it's cute. And I suppose you're right, but arguing is fun.

[xColinx]

Arguing can be fun! You seem pretty confident in your opinion so I can't really doubt you look good in whatever style you're rockin.

[lizardbc]

Aw thanks. And you're damn right I look good in my high waisted bottoms!

[Blindster]

fuck yeah! evenly divides your torso for q clean look, accentuates the waist-hip curves, and i know for a fact some of my friends like having the option of covering skin below their belly button!

remember that if one looks like model picture here, most swimwear will look conventionally attractive. but if not, then switching up your swimwear is great to accentuate certain parts of your physique. again, confidence is key!!

[lizardbc]

seems like u get it more than the girls! highlights ur figure and gives u a more hourglass figure. not everything has to show skin.

[AsaKyo]

Granny panties in my opinion because they feel gross to wear

I know this because my mother bought some that were the wrong size and didn't fit her, so she gave them to me and I really didn't want them, but accepted them anyways so that her money wouldn't go to waste and I hate the way they feel as opposed to boyshort and hipster panties

[lizardbc]

What do you not like about them?

For me, The higher waist certainly is weird at first but after a while I like it because it makes me feel even more comfortable because I feel like “tucked in” if that makes sense. Also feeling it end at my waist makes it feel smaller

[AsaKyo]

The higher waist part is definitely why I don't like them and just the way they look

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I'm not really sure what to think of them since I've never worn them myself. The only bathing suit I wear (and have) is a tankini top with boyshort swim bottoms. I guess if you do not like your belly showing then high waisted bikini bottoms is one way of doing it.

[lizardbc]

Personally I feel really cute in them. Yeah they dont show as much skin but they direct attention to your waist. They're comfortable too, don't really have to worry about them riding up as much

[DaveJord]

Honestly, any style of bathing suit can be cute... but for guys it all depends more on the women then the suit itself. I can't imagine my girlfriend wearing any type of suit style that does not look cute on her amazing body. Now some might be sexier and more revealing, and that is not a bad thing... but that is not the question. The high waist can be way more, cute on certain women.

Say she has great figure, but not the best stomach, the waist could be great choice.

[SnowedIn]

I selected cute. I think, like every other piece of clothing, it depends very specifically on that specific garment and how it was designed and then the body it is on. On one woman, it would be hot, another cute, and a third frumpy granny panties.

[KC1545]

I used to like them when I was younger but now I think they look weird.. like it looks like it’d give you terrible tan lines and kinda unflattering in the butt area

[lizardbc]

I guess that is true with the tan lines lol

[Lynnfriend]

I like the old bIkini style matching bra and panties set but they don't make them the same anymore and I haven't found anything I like so I buy whatever and haven't found anything comfortable.

[MountAverage]

I mean, I like them better than those low waisted ones, those just look really bad. At least the high waisted one look aesthetically nice. But for my personal male gaze taste, they cover WAY too much. :)

[lizardbc]

You say the aesthetic is nice but think they cover too much? I'm intrigued but confused by this lol

[MountAverage]

Haha yeah I admit it's a bit contradictory. To me, something can look nice on a woman without me being attracted to it.

[lizardbc]

Welllll even if it doesn't show skin I'd think you could still fall for it :) I bet you like it when girls wear leggings even though it doesn't show skin

[MountAverage]

Like I said, I don't mind them. But they simply don't do it for me attraction-wise.

[Surely]

If you are the model or look like the model. You would like great in almost anything. Who cares what the others think. Be happy with your choices!

[JPresidente]

I think they can look pretty good and can help women with waist, belly issues, in some cases but I prefer the lower waisted ones as far as appearance goes. Not saying you have any issues, just general opinion.

[DesiUwU]

retro and oh so cuuute, my go to swimsuit is the 1950's styles

[lizardbc]

Just love how it fits!

[OlderAndWiser]

Looks lke somebody who wants to say they wear a bikini but too self-conscious to actually do it.

[Elliegirl]

I’m not a fan. They look kinda old ladyish to me. I’ll stick to my low rise string bikini bottoms.

[ThinkFitness23]

Nice, show off your mid section well..


Would have to see the rear to be conclusive “butt” that’s just my thoughts lol.

[tenor55]

I like them if you have the body for it. It is a retro look.

[Wraith_Cemetery]

Nicer looking than those skimpy ones.

[lizardbc]

Right? Just looks so more feminine. And in my opinion its better looking too. Shows enough to attract but leaves a lot to the imagination ;)

[TacosRAwesome]

Depends on how they hit, they're either kinda hot or very frumpy.

[lizardbc]

When you say how they hit, do you mean like how high the waist is or how much of your butt it shows?

[TacosRAwesome]

I think it's a bit of both. On some people they look a bit like diapers.

[lizardbc]

I guess I understand but I'd say mine cover my butt entirely and my belly button but it still looks cute I'd say.

[elizamichale1]

They r a little cute but i wouldn't choose those tbh

[loveslongnails]

They DO look like granny panties. If you can't pull off the entire bikini look because you have a bit of a pouch, wear a sexy one piece.

[joeldalton]

I don't like them. I want to see belly button.

[lizardbc]

Out of everything on a girl you want to see a belly button?

[joeldalton]

When did I say that was the only thing I wanted to see?

[lizardbc]

"I want to see belly button"?

[joeldalton]

Right, but that’s not exclusive of anything else.

[LiamJHayden]

I just do not like high-waisted clothing in general.

[lizardbc]

Why's that?

[LiamJHayden]

If I think about it, probably because some overweight kids in school wore their pants really high and I thought it looked ridiculous. I have subconsciously attached the two. Unfair, but it is what it is.

[lizardbc]

I mean, women that aren't on the heavier side wear high waisted skirts all the time. Or like leggings go up to our waists a lot

[lizardbc]

But ig if you have that connotation can't do much about it

[Anonymous]

I don't like it. It kind of defeats the purpose of wearing a bikini.

[lizardbc]

I mean, you're still showing skin, maybe just not as much. What do you think the purpose of a bikini is?

[Opinion Owner]

To show off.

[lizardbc]

Couldn't you show off without showing skin? Like wearing leggings you're not showing any skin but you're definitely still showing off

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, but I think most people on the beach are looking to see skin. Have you ever been to a nude beach?

[lizardbc]

Lol nooo and I'd never go. I guess I just have different priorities at the beach. I like to swim and play sports as much as I do tan and look cute. I think the boys are just gonna have to settle for that with me

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, just be who you are.

[HighlyQuestionable]

Very cute (even cuter if they have a thong back).
