Ocean Blues Mid-Rise High-Leg Bikini Bottom

For a beach rather than a lap pool: the leg is cut high on the hip, the back covers less than a full brief, and the waistband sits mid-rise and snug. The fabric is a nylon blend with spandex and a little compression in it, so it holds still when you walk. The colours come out bolder in sunlight than on a screen, which is worth knowing before you order the royal blue.

Sizes run S to 2XL, and this one runs true but snug at the waist: if you are between two letters, take the larger. Eight colourways, black and navy through red and a blue floral. The high leg is what makes it a beach cut: less fabric at the thigh, and less to hold water when you walk out.

One of 9 on the bikini bottoms rail in the Ocean Blues collection. It also answers to bikini bottoms. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
