Often tagged as “granny panties” or “diaper”, high waisted bikinis are NOT every woman’s cup of tea. While some women can pull it off, others are happy to ditch it and stick to the standard bikinis and one-pieces. If you’re undecided whether it’s a yay or a nay for your body shape, read on. So what body types can wear high waisted bikinis and look best in them? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n High waisted bottoms look good on bodies with long torsos. When worn by a short-torsoed body, the effect is a visual decline in height, making the wearer appear shorter than she is. This isn’t an issue for long-torsoed women since their torsos are more elongated in the first place.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The best celebrity example who has a gorgeously long torso is Taylor Swift. If you Google her pics, you’ll often see most of her signature looks incorporate high waisted bottoms, be it her swimsuits or her everyday outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The thing about high waisted bottoms is, it not only emphasizes the curves but also the lack thereof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For body types hourglass, pear, or diamond body type, where the waist is well-defined and the hips are wide, a high waisted bikini will emphasize your curves in a flattering way. If you’re one of these body types, it’s almost a 100% guarantee that you’ll look great in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re rectangle shaped, however, it will emphasize the straightness of your body, instead. Like this.<\/p>\n\n\nHourglass, pear, and diamond vs. rectangle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
