High-Waisted Bikini Bottoms

If you don't have J.Lo's abs (or even if you do!), the high-waisted bikini is a stylish and flattering option. Not only do they look cool and retro (Taylor Swift, anyone?), high-waisted bottoms offer some nice tummy coverage for those who don't want to flaunt their midsections. Smoothing things out while looking like a 1950s pinup babe? We're sold.
For even more of a slimming effect, go for vertical stripes like Gigi Hadid's high-waisted bikini. Want to spice things up? Try a suit with sheer panels or trendy cutouts like Kourtney Kardashian's high-waisted cutout bikini that she wore during a recent vacation.

Va-va-voom! You don't need a string bikini to show off a killer bod! One-pieces this season are just as sexy, especially ones with cleavage-baring necklines like Selena Gomez and Rumor Willis' sizzling hot swimwear. Jessica Simpson modeled a fringed version from her own clothing line.

Eye-popping colors! Exotic prints! Skin-baring cutouts! Celebrities of all shapes and sizes are rocking these attention-grabbing swimsuits. “Pretty Little Liars” star Shay Mitchell showed off her beach bum in this colorful number, while Mindy Kaling's Instagram pic proved that curves and cutouts are a perfect combination, and everyone was swooning over that gorgeous Mara Hoffman one-piece (which Mindy declared “looks good on EVERYONE”).
The cutout details on the front, back or side of the suit add serious sexiness to the one-piece, and the bright, busy designs are distracting enough that no one will notice whatever “problem” area you're self-conscious about! Try one of the options below and see why stars love these sexy suits!
