Every Summer, you tell yourself you're going to try a new swimsuit style. Every Summer, you stick to the same old silhouettes. It's a trap we all fall into. We're afraid to find out if that new cut we love flatters our figure, or we shy away from swimwear that's trendy in case we grow tired of it.

But high-waisted bikinis are here to stay, and the casual-cool retro vibes they give off are undeniable. Aside from the fact that these suits come with some of your favorite details — floral prints, strappy ties, and cutouts at the hip, to name a few — they're also super flattering.

Bootylicious bottoms that hit you just below the bellybutton offer the illusion of a toned, svelte tummy, especially if you opt for vertical stripes, dark shades, or contrast side panels that create a colorblock effect. Read on to find 26 different ways to try out the trend, and we promise you'll be the most stylish girl on the beach.
