Over the past year or so, the rises on our pants have been getting higher—and now the same is happening for our bikinis! The high-waisted bathing suit has made a comeback, and we couldn’t be happier to see this figure-flattering look popping up everywhere. These retro-inspired bikinis provide the perfect way to pay homage to the bombshells of the ’50s (while simultaneously embodying a sexy, slightly updated fit). We’ve found 10 options in a range of colors and styles to help you choose what will suit you best!
