31 Looks That'll Inspire You to Try High-Cut Swimwear

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.
