Very High Cut Swimsuits: The Raised Leg Line

What Is a Very High Cut Swimsuit?

A high cut (or high leg) swimsuit raises the leg opening up the side of the hip, so more of the upper leg and outer hip is uncovered and the side line runs higher than a standard cut. “Very high cut” is the stronger end of that line.

The cut applies to both constructions: high-leg bikini bottoms and high-cut one-pieces, monokinis and bodysuits all share the raised leg line.

High cut is the leg line; the garment above it is a separate choice.

High Cut vs. Standard vs. Cheeky: The Leg Line

Leg openings run on their own scale, separate from the waistband and from back coverage:

Standard leg — the opening sits at the hip crease.
High cut — the opening rises up the outer hip.
Very high cut — the side runs highest, close to the waist on the hip bone.

Cheeky is a different axis: it describes how much of the back is covered, not where the leg line sits. A bottom can be high cut and cheeky, or high cut with fuller back coverage — the leg line and the back coverage are chosen separately.

Leg line and back coverage are two dials, not one.

The Styles in This Collection

The high leg line shows up across these silhouettes:

High-cut cheeky and Brazilian bottoms
High-leg thong styles
Cutout and zip-front one-pieces
High-cut monokinis and thong bodysuits
Ribbed, wrinkled and sheer fabrics on high legs

Prices run from about $23 to $47, and sizes from XS to XL with a few one-size pieces.

Pick the garment first, then how high the leg runs.

Wearing and Fit

The leg opening does the fitting work: the elastic along the leg should sit flat without digging, and the height of the opening varies between brands — “very high cut” on one listing can differ from another, so check photos and measurements.

A higher opening means more sun exposure on the outer hip and upper leg — factor in sunscreen. For movement, styles with snug leg elastic hold their line better than loose cuts; sit-test the fit before active days.

Leg elastic flat, opening height checked, sunscreen on.

How to Choose

Work through four decisions:

Garment: bottoms, one-piece, monokini or bodysuit
Leg height: high or very high
Back coverage: thong, cheeky or fuller
Waistband: low-rise, mid or high-waist

Sizes run XS to XL with some one-size pieces — check each listing’s chart.

Garment first, leg height second, back coverage third.

Frequently asked questions

What is a high cut swimsuit?

A high cut (or high leg) swimsuit raises the leg opening up the side of the hip, so more of the upper leg and outer hip is uncovered and the side line runs higher than a standard cut. Very high cut is the stronger end of that line.

What is the difference between high cut and very high cut?

They are degrees of the same leg line: high cut rises up the outer hip, and very high cut runs the side highest, close to the waist on the hip bone. Brands use the terms differently, so check each listing's photos for the actual opening height.

What is the difference between high cut and cheeky?

High cut describes where the leg opening sits on the hip. Cheeky describes how much of the back is covered. They are two different axes, and a bottom can be high cut and cheeky, or high cut with fuller back coverage.

Do high cut swimsuits come in one-pieces?

Yes. The high leg line shows up on bikini bottoms and on one-pieces, monokinis and bodysuits — this collection carries all of them. The leg line is the shared detail; the garment type is the choice.

Do very high cut bottoms stay in place?

Fit and elastic decide it: snug elastic along the leg opening is what keeps the line in place, and the opening height varies between brands. Check each listing's photos and size chart, and sit-test the fit before active days.

Are high cut styles good for tanning?

The higher opening exposes more of the outer hip and upper leg, so tan lines sit differently than on standard cuts — less fabric across the outer hip means fewer lines there. Coverage on the back is a separate dial.

What is the difference between high cut and high waist?

High cut is the leg opening height; high waist is the waistband position. The two are independent — you can have a high-cut bottom with a low-rise, mid or high-waist band, since they describe different parts of the garment.

What sizes do very high cut swimsuits come in?

Styles in this collection range from XS to XL, with a few one-size pieces. Because opening heights vary between brands, check the size chart and photos on each product page before ordering.
