If you're hunting for a cute beach outfit with a little extra coverage, a high-waisted swimsuit is the way to go. These two-pieces typically feature a bottom that goes up to (or beyond) your belly button and are a variation on the vintage swimsuit trend. They're often inspired by looks we all know and love from the 1940s through the 1960s (think: Marilyn Monroe, Carmen Miranda, and Rita Hayworth). Not only are high-waisted bathing suit glamorous, but they're also highly flattering to all body shapes and sizes. If you need a little inspiration, our roundup of the best high-waisted swimsuits for women offers a great way to dip your toe into the world of two-piece bikinis—especially if you're used to wearing one-piece swimsuits all summer.

High-waisted swimsuits are also amazing for highlighting your curves—they hug you in all the right places and often feature tummy control for a smooth silhouette. Another major plus of rocking a two-piece is that you have the ability to mix and match your swimwear (and even match with your beach towel, if you want extra credit). You can also pair a high-waisted bottom with nearly any style top, including a halter top, strapless bandeau, triangle top, or even something on the sporty side—you don't always have to go strictly retro with your look.

So before you hit the beach or pool, take a peek at these fun, flirty swimsuit styles. Once you find your perfect suit, make sure to accessorize with a cute straw hat and a pair of comfortable sandals to take you from the beach to brunch.
