Flattering High Waisted Bikini: Who It Flatters and How to Style It

When it comes to swimwear, few pieces have managed to balance the nostalgia of the past with current trends as well as the flattering high waisted bikini. 

This style, which has made a strong comeback in recent years, is not only synonymous with elegance but also versatility and comfort. 

However, one of the most frequently asked questions is: who does a flattering high waisted bikini truly flatter and how can it be worn in style? In this article, we’ll explore the charm of this classic and modern design and how you can incorporate it into your swimwear wardrobe with Roidal’s exclusive offerings.

The elegance of the flattering high waisted bikini

The flattering high waisted bikini is much more than a passing trend; it’s a statement of style that has won over women of all ages. Its design, inspired by 1950s fashion, evokes sophistication and femininity while adapting to the needs of the present. 

At Roidal, we’ve elevated this piece to a new level, combining exclusive patterns, high-quality fabrics, and impeccable finishes that guarantee a unique experience. Our flattering high waisted bikinis are designed for women seeking to stand out with elegance and comfort.

Who does the flattering high waisted bikini flatter?

One of the great advantages of the flattering high waisted bikini is its ability to adapt to different body types. This design, which covers the waist and elongates the hips, is especially flattering for those looking to enhance their figure in an elegant and understated way. Here’s who this style flatters the most:

  • Curvy Bodies: The high waist helps define the waist and smooth the lines of the abdomen, creating a more streamlined and harmonious silhouette. It’s ideal for women with prominent hips, as it brings balance to the figure.
  • Straight Figures: For those with a more linear silhouette, the flattering high waisted bikini can add definition to the waist, creating the illusion of curves and enhancing femininity.
  • Height and Proportions: If you’re tall, this design accentuates your proportions in a sophisticated way. And if you’re shorter, the high waist cuts can visually elongate your legs, especially when paired with solid colors or vertical prints.
  • Postpartum or Modesty: Many women opt for this style after becoming mothers or if they prefer a more modest look without compromising on fashion.

How to style a flattering high waisted bikini for every occasion

The versatility of the flattering high waisted bikini makes it an essential piece for any swimwear wardrobe. Here are some tips on how to style it to make the most of it, depending on the occasion:

  • For a Relaxed Day at the Beach: Pair your Roidal high waisted bikini with a light sarong or a knotted linen shirt. Neutral colors or tropical prints are perfect for a casual yet sophisticated look.
  • Pool with Friends or More Elegant Events: Go for a bikini in dark tones or geometric prints and add a wide-brimmed hat and vintage-style sunglasses. A long, flowy caftan can complete the ensemble with a touch of glamour.
  • From the Beach to the Beach Bar: Choose a bikini top that can also be worn as a crop top. Pair it with a midi skirt or high-waisted pants for a look that works for both the sand and an outdoor meal.

Why choose a flattering high waisted bikini?

In addition to its undeniable elegance, the flattering high waisted bikini offers multiple benefits that make it a standout option in swimwear fashion. Here are some reasons to consider it:

  • Comfort and Security: By covering more area of the body, the high waist provides a comfortable and secure fit, perfect for swimming, walking along the beach, or simply relaxing.
  • Versatility: Thanks to its classic design, the flattering high waisted bikini adapts to various styles and occasions. It’s a garment you can personalize according to your personality and the current trends.
  • Enhances the Figure: Its strategic lines and high-quality fabrics are designed to accentuate the silhouette, offering confidence and comfort to those who wear it.

The importance of craftsmanship in elegant swimming suits

When we think of elegant swimming suits, it’s inevitable to imagine pieces that combine sophistication, impeccable design, and that touch of exclusivity. But what makes a swimsuit transcend from being merely functional to becoming a true work of art?

The answer undoubtedly lies in craftsmanship, a fundamental pillar that makes the difference in each swimsuit.

In this article, we will explore how artisanal dedication brings elegant swimsuits to life and how this philosophy forms an essential part of Roidal’s DNA.

The role of craftsmanship in Roidal's elegant bathing suits

Craftsmanship is not just a process; it’s an art that involves passion, experience, and meticulous attention to detail. In the world of elegant swimming suits, this translates into garments that stand out not only for their exclusive design but also for the quality and care with which they have been made. Every stitch, every cut, and every finish reflects the commitment to creating unique pieces designed to enhance elegance and comfort.

At Roidal, we deeply value craftsmanship as the heart of our collections. Since our beginnings in Catalonia, we have prioritized almost artisanal techniques that not only ensure perfection in each garment but also preserve the soul of our creations. This artisanal approach is what turns a bikini or swimsuit into a timeless piece that exudes confidence and style.

High-quality materials for elegant swimming suits

A elegant swimsuit cannot be conceived without the highest quality materials. These not only provide durability and comfort but are also key to ensuring a perfect fit and unmatched aesthetics. At Roidal, we carefully select innovative fabrics that offer exceptional properties such as chlorine resistance, UV protection, and quick drying.

Additionally, the prints we use are exclusive and designed to capture the essence of each season. Vibrant colors, unique patterns, and textures that evoke nature are some of the features that distinguish our collections. Each fabric undergoes a rigorous selection and testing process to ensure it meets our high-quality standards.

Innovation and tradition in swimwear

We understand that true excellence lies in finding the balance between innovation and tradition. Our artisanal heritage, forged over more than four decades, is complemented by the use of advanced technology that allows us to create garments that are both functional and sophisticated.
For example, our line of shaping swimsuits for women combines cutting-edge shaping fabrics with strategic cuts that enhance the figure. This innovative approach, combined with the expertise of our artisans, ensures that each piece is not only beautiful but also practical and comfortable. This is the type of commitment that sets elegant swimwear apart and elevates it above the ordinary.

Our swimsuits and bikinis are designed to fit women of all ages who value elegance and style without compromising comfort.

The artisanal essence of our collections is not only seen in the visible details, such as the finishes or prints but also in what is unseen: the care and dedication each piece receives from its conception to its final creation.

New collection Roidal SS2022

Taking as a reference the book “Psychology of colour” by Eva Heller, in which the author analyses how colours act on human feelings, Roidal’s collection for the Spring / Summer 2022 season puts colour at the centre of the creative focus. So, it illuminates with its intensity and brightness some flattering garments; designed to shape the female silhouette and make the most of it thanks to the exclusive patterns of the brand. Thus, cross necklines, halter necks that tie at the back, draping, gathers and other stylistic resources are at the service of a modern, elegant, and natural woman.

 

Roidal’s collection for SS 2022 includes bikinis, swimsuits, camisoles, dresses and sarongs with exquisite and functional cuts, focused on offering fit and comfort without compromising style and trend. Fabrics are the key to ensuring optimum quality and fit; achieved using Xtralife® Lycra fibre, synonymous with high quality and durability.

 

To brighten the mood and celebrate summer, the brand proposes intense and vibrant colours that enliven the soul and embellish the body.

New Tessy SS2022 Collection

There is a popular saying that “no calm sea ever made a sailor an expert”. This belief has inspired Tessy Beachwear, Roidal’s most dynamic and versatile brand, when designing its swimwear collection for Spring / Summer 2022.

 

Tessy’s proposal is defined as a decisive and formal style that, without moving away from stylistic classicism, explores into the concepts of modernity and functionality. It is a collection reformulated in the key to natural elegance and that translates into soft and well-defined designs and cuts. To these, are added details and finishes such as gathers, draping and other applications. Deep necklines (on the chest or back), bandeaus that generate self-confidence or formal tops that enhance the bust in a natural way allow to make the most of the female anatomy.

Roidal redesigns its website

The new website includes a restyling both visually and in the way of presenting the different collections, as well as allowing faster and more agile access to products by type of garment.

 

More modern, elegant, and dynamic, the new web design also allows a better visualisation of the images, as well as including videos of each of the brands and collections, which allows a 360º visualisation of the garment, as well as representing a new way to communicate  both at B2B level and with regard to the end consumer.

 

The new web structure now clearly differentiates the different types of garments (bikinis, swimsuits and accessories), as well as maintaining access to the complete collections of both Roidal and Tessy Beachwear. Also, the usual sections are maintained, such as the company’s corporate information, which highlights the craftsmanship, processes and quality of the garments’ fabrics, as well as a shop finder where end consumers can locate the shop closest to their location, among the more than 40 countries in which the company is present with its two brands.

 

Beach destinations in winter

Beach destinations in winter

Just a month before Christmas, if you’re one of the lucky ones thinking of a getaway close where you can forget about the cold of your city, here are a couple of ideas of perfect destinations where you can wear your bikini and swimsuit all year round and get your tan back.

Beach destinations in winter

Declared by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site for the Cultural Landscape of Risco Caído and the Sacred Mountains, a reflection of its aboriginal past, Gran Canaria is an especially ideal destination for European travellers who at this time of year want to enjoy sun and sand due to its proximity and its many attractions, which go beyond its endless and spectacular beaches.

Beach destinations in winter

With an average temperature of 20 degrees and a multitude of cultural, gastronomic and scenic attractions, its cosmopolitan and lively capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, and its many charming villages where you can get to know its culture and customs stand out.

But if what we are talking about is sun and beaches, our recommendation is that you should not miss the south of the island (without detracting at all from the north), more specifically the town of San Bartolomé de Tirajana (just over half an hour from the airport), which has an extensive coastline of over 32 kilometres, with large, attractive beaches, some with light sand and others with volcanic sand, but all of them very attractive and peaceful.

Beach destinations in winter

The most famous are Playa del Inglés, San Agustín and Maspalomas, one of the most beautiful according to all the rankings and which has an area of dunes next to its kilometre-long beach, unique in the world. Strolling early in the morning to watch the sunrise or sunset, bathing in its crystal clear and calm waters, as well as its unique and beautiful dunes make this destination one of the most privileged areas of the island.

With an extensive hotel and gastronomic offer, don’t forget to visit its shops such as Dolce Vita Maspalomas, in the Bulevard Oasis Beach shopping centre, where you can find a wide selection of Roidal bikinis, swimsuits and beachwear or fashion accessories. Not far from there, in the Palm Beach Hotel, a haven of peace next to the beach, you will also find Boutique Joy, where you have available our latest Roidal collections.

Beach destinations in winter

Also declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1983, Lanzarote (6) is for some the most attractive island of the Canary Islands, not only for its warm temperatures and spectacular beaches but also for its culture, art, otherworldly landscapes, gastronomy, routes and leisure activities.

From Timanfaya to Famara, via Isla Graciosa to the wine-growing area of Haría and the characteristic architecture of the local artist par excellence, César Manrique, everything in Lanzarote is beautiful, peaceful and welcoming.

Beach destinations in winter

The beaches are endless, beautiful and paradisiacal, with outstanding tourist areas such as Costa Teguise, Puerto del Carmen or Playa Blanca, a corner in the south of the island full of golden sandy beaches and clean waters, which in no way envy those of the Caribbean and with views of neighbouring Fuerteventura.

For shopping, our recommendation is to visit Lady Russ, as well as her other shops on the island, La Perla de Sirenuse and Sirenuse by Lady Russ where you’ll find boho-chic fashion and the latest swimwear collections from Roidal and Tessy Beachwear .

The designs are always surprising, emphasised by lively colour blocks and by the brand’s always unparalleled prints where stylistic imagination never ends and graphic, floral, plant, and animal prints always make an appearance, adding freshness and diversity to the collection.

It is a collection that always compliments the feminine figure and enhances comfort on a journey that creates a lifestyle around swimwear fashion. It is completed with an entire range of matching accessories such as light and airy dresses and trousers, ethereal knotted tops, and light sarongs that can turn a beach outfit into a perfect outfit to have a perfect summer.

TESSY 2021

Starting with a carefully thought-out design that compliments and shapes the feminine figure and where patterns and the quality of the fabrics are the common denominators, Tessy’s SS21 collection is made up of multiple pieces with simple and refined lines and a timeless style.

Flattering bikinis with infinite style possibilities, from triangle tops to halter necks and from high-waisted to side-knotted bottoms, are combined with sublime cut swimsuits where formal minimalism reigns and details such as drapes, gatherings, strapless necklines and metal beads frequently appear, underlining the brand’s strong character.

In the colour palette, black and white come together in a geometric print that stands out for its metallic mesh pattern. It is sometimes splashed with zigzags, graphics and small shiny details, creating lively prints where animal prints coexist with plant and floral ones.

To complete the collection, there are comfortable kaftans, dresses knotted at the back, and matching asymmetric-length shirts with the prints from the swimwear collection as well as delicate Roman-style dresses with which the glamour of the beach style becomes a must at any time of the day.
