High-waisted hipster swim bottoms: what to look for
On this page
If you’re shopping for high‑waisted “hipster” bottoms, these checks help:
Fabric & opacity
- Look for thicker fabric (or doubled fabric) to avoid see‑through issues when wet.
- Dark colours usually show less.
Lining
Fully lined pieces tend to last longer and feel less “cheap”.
Fit & coverage
- Higher rise often feels more secure for swimming.
- Check the leg opening and seam placement — that’s what decides comfort.
Care
Rinse after salt/chlorine, and avoid high heat drying.
