While we're all out there trying to soak in the summer heat for another month or two, I wanted to fill you in on a high waisted bikini you may want to know about for those who are always in dire need for leg length. The biggest problem I am always trying to solve is the ridiculous proportion battle between my short legs and my long torso that eats up most of my body. So while the high waisted game is rampant on every body type out there really, I do think it benefits the short legged shortscapes the most.
This high waisted bikini bottom comes up high enough to cover the belly button which means you're already about to ace your rule of thirds. The high rise cuts your torso length in half, distributing a half to your beloved lower half. It's also a moderate leg height which means the leg opening is cut deep enough so that your hip bones can be exposed, (this is crucial). These minor adjustments create major illusions of a slightly longer lower half. You end up with a one out of three on top with a two out of three on the bottom, in terms of proportion. You may also know by now, how much I love my clean seam lines which in the case of this bikini, slims your body keeping it clutter-free.
**Note: Bikini is a size 0, top and bottom.
