While I can't put my finger on exactly when I started opting exclusively for high-waisted swimwear (or, of course, one-pieces), I can tell you I'm glad the trend has lasted and is very much here to stay. After all, though my style could hardly be called modest, I find comfort in those extra few inches of material and have grown quite emotionally accustomed to them when hitting the beach. Can you relate?
If so, or if you're an equal-opportunity-swimwear shopper, I think you might enjoy this roundup of my favorite high-waisted bikinis. From the swimsuits I've loved for years to those I discovered on Instagram, shop my picks below and see how others wear them along the way!

"This bikini top is actually very supportive! My only complaint is the band does run small. Depending on the bra brand, I wear a 34F or a 36DD, but since they didn't have a 34F, I went with a 36DD since it is considered a sister bra. Well, it fit, but it was very tight, so I went up in a band size. I ordered a 38DD, and it fits a lot better." — H&M Reviewer
