There are many types of swimsuits out here—one-piece suits and classic triangle bikinis being staples in this category—but below, Spot.ph has rounded up a list of 10 stylish and form-flattering high-waist bikinis you can shop in Manila right now.

The high-waist version of the two-piece swimsuit is a popular pick among many beachgoers and moms, largely thanks to its ability to hide one’s stomach.

10 high-waist bikinis you can shop in Manila

1. Renee Hi-Kini Set (P2,300) from Eighth Mermaid

Though it’s not the usual kind of texture you’d see on a swimsuit, the crinkled design on this bikini set from Eighth Mermaid allows for a little more stretch and movement.

It hugs the body without digging into the skin and helps smooth out any bulges and folds, so you can look good from all angles even after a big meal.

Plus, the sweetheart neckline on the bralette-like top gives the bikini an effortlessly feminine look that would flatter your shoulders and draw attention to your collarbone.

On our wish list for this summer is their Feeling Cheeky Top along with the matching bottoms (sold separately), both of which are available in 10 sizes (from 2XS to 5XL).

With a rounded halter neckline up top and high-waist bottoms that hug the hips and provide ample coverage on the backside, these pieces promise to emphasize your shape so you can show off your curves.

8. Cielo Bikini Top (P1,450) and Bottoms (P1,500) from Frankie & Friends

With this bikini from Frankie & Friends, the best features are all in the little details.

Though it sticks to a mostly no-frills design, the top piece has a pointed round neck cut that allows for a little more cleavage without going for a harsh V-cut on the neckline, so you get a more delicate silhouette that’s fit for a variety of body types.

The high-waist bottoms sport a similar slightly V-shaped cut on the waist, with two pieces of fabric layered on top of each other to create the shape. The result is a pair of bottoms that emphasizes your waist and gives your torso a more hourglass shape.

Plus, we’re head over heels for the soft yellow color—a perfect summertime pastel.

9. Cima Trip Top (P1,100) and Anilo Bottoms (P1,650) from Alba

Though sold separately, Alba’s Cima Tri Top and Anilo bottoms make a great two-piece set when paired and the local brand has tons of photos highlighting how well the two go together.

The bottoms provide ample coverage from crotch to waist with just a touch of skin peeking through thanks to the string detail on the side—the drawstring even lets you adjust the bottoms so you can get a comfortable fit every time.

The top, on the other hand, goes for a more classic triangle shape, but with a little more support and coverage than you would get from a string-bikini top.

Each piece is available in a variety of hues—you can pair two of the same shade together or mix and match for a more colorful look.

10. Florence Bikini (P2,495) from Ellá the Label

The Florence set from Ellá the Label features a bra-style top, which means you get adjustable straps, a clasp fastener on the back, and best of all, cup support and wiring—ideal for those who are extra #blessed and need to keep the girls in check.

It comes with a pair of high-waist bottoms in a matching floral pattern and ruched texture.
