If your idea of sexy swimwear is Pamela Anderson in her bright red, high-cut Baywatch swimsuit, then you'll need no convincing that '90s-style one-pieces with super high legs are where it's at for sultry Summer style. But if you've been living in skimpy bikinis for years and you're not yet sold on the look, the new breed of high-waisted, high-leg bikini bottoms might be an easier way to try this look. Either look has the double-whammy of lengthening the leg and cinching the waist, and they're a breath of fresh air after years of triangle bikinis and retro designs.

If you're keen to try something different this Summer, get your Insta-inspo right here, and then shop our pick of the bunch for all body types, including plunging necklines, high neck numbers, and belted styles that tap right in to the latest swimsuit trends. Prepare to make like Rita Ora and put those hip bones on show.
