3 Reasons to Wear a High Waisted Swimsuit as a Petite Woman

“I have too many bikinis.” - Said No One Ever

The temperature is saying “Summer” out loud every day and going to the pool or beach is on everyone’s radar. This is an official call to get your swimsuit wardrobe pulled together ASAP!

I planned a pool day with some of my friends so that we could lay out in the sun (of course with quite a bit of sunblock applied) and have conversations that twisted and turned as a few hours passed. Prior to the pool day, I really thought about the type of swimsuit that I should wear given that I am a very petite woman. I have worn swimsuits before that I didn’t really feel comfortable in or that did not compliment my body, so I definitely didn’t want to go down that road again. I decided to wear a high-waisted swimsuit and let me give you a few reasons why a high-waisted swimsuit is a great option for petite women.

1.   High-waisted swimsuits will elongate your legs!

2.   High-waisted swimsuits will accentuate your curves as your waist appears narrow.

3.   Most importantly, you don’t have to worry about your swimsuit bottom falling down (that would be so embarrassing)!

I purchased my high-waisted bikini from Amazon for $34 and they have a great selection of swimsuits that you can choose from. Also, as a petite woman, I would recommend purchasing swimsuits from ASOS, Pretty Little Thing, Macy’s, and SHEIN. My sandals were purchased from Forever 21 for $12 and were befitting for the pool day (I have two more pairs in a different color lol). My earrings were purchased at Aldo two years ago and I actually forgot that I had them until I started styling my outfit.

If you haven’t upgraded your swimsuit wardrobe yet, please do before the summer is over and enjoy the sunshine!
