What is Mid Rise Swimwear?
Mid rise swimwear hits that just-right spot — sitting comfortably between your hips and natural waist. Not too low on the leg like a low coveragte bikini, and not climbing sky-high like some retro throwbacks. It's the swimsuit sweet spot. A mid rise fit gives you freedom to move without sacrificing coverage, whether you’re chasing surf or chasing after your kid at the beach. Unlike low-rise styles that shift and shimmy mid-activity, mid rise stays put — no tugging required. Compared to high-waisted suits, it offers a lighter, sportier feel that’s perfect for everything from beach runs to boardwalk strolls.
Benefits of Mid Rise Bikini Bottoms
Let’s talk function. Mid rise bikini bottoms offer just enough tummy coverage to boost confidence without going full vintage high-rise. They hit right at the hip, flattering your natural shape and pairing seamlessly with just about any
swim top style — whether you’re reaching for a
bikini,
tankini, or midkini. And because they walk that middle line, mid rise styles are equally suitable for an at home poolside or under a wetsuit on a dawn patrol surf session.
Made with performance-driven fabric that’s built to last — quick-drying, flexible, and ready for long days in the sun — these bottoms are made for the woman who does it all. We recommend them for travelers, triathletes, first-time wave riders, and everyone in between. Whether you need something to wear for a chill beach weekend or a full-contact game of beach volleyball, mid rise holds up. Plus, you can pair it with on of our
swim shirts or rashguards for coverage that keeps pace.
Comfort & Confidence in Every Fit
When the fit’s right, everything changes. Mid rise bikini bottoms are designed for real bodies in motion, in every size — no squeezing, no gaping, just all-day comfort that lets you forget your suit and focus on the fun.
Styling Mid Rise Swim Bottoms with the Right Top
Mid rise bottoms are the team players of your swim drawer. They go with pretty much anything — from minimalist triangle tops to full-coverage tankini styles. Want to streamline your silhouette? Pair with a matching print or lean into a sleek two-piece in a bold colorblock. Feeling sporty? A mid rise bottom with a
rashguard keeps everything locked in for paddling, spiking, and wave diving. Heading to the beach but skipping the swim? Throw on a lightweight
cover up and your favorite
sandals, and you're good to go.
How to Mix and Match for a Custom Look
We’re all about creating combos that flex with your life. Go loud on the bottom and solid up top, or flip the script. Mix prints. Clash colors. Style rules don’t apply when you’re building a kit to fit your vibe, your plans, and your day.
Mid Rise Swimwear Trends
Mid rise swimwear isn’t a trend — it’s a staple. But what is trending this season?

Whether you're spending a full day in the sun or hopping from surf to snack shack, these suits are built to move, built to last, and built for women who do more than just dip a toe in.
Prints, Colors, and Patterns to Watch
Colorblock is having a moment. Retro florals are back. And those saturated sunset shades? We can’t get enough. Whatever your style, mid rise bottoms make a bold but wearable base — just add the right piece on top, and hit the water.
