High-waisted bikini bottoms are a classic, not a trend.

Yes, they’ll be fine for 2025. They’re not the “it” silhouette you see on every influencer this year — that’s shifting back toward lower rises — but high-waisted bottoms are now a permanent staple. They flatter a lot of body types, offer more coverage, and don’t really go out of style the way a specific cut does.

If you already own a pair you like, wear them with confidence. If you’re buying new, you might also grab a mid-rise or low-rise option if you want to feel current. But high-waisted won’t look dated.

Trends cycle. Confidence doesn’t.
