When it comes to curating your swimwear wardrobe, the options are endless. At ViX, we pride ourselves on offering a variety of cuts and styles, including bikini style bottoms with different rises that flatter different body shapes and styles. Whether you’re lounging poolside or exploring your next bucket list destination, here’s everything you need to know about the cuts and rises you can shop for at ViX.

Full Bottoms

Full Bottoms offer the most conservative option within our range of bikini style bottoms . Offering full coverage—meaning maximum fabric that fully covers the bum—ViX full coverage bikini bottoms are ideal for those who prefer a more modest look. This style is also perfect for active beach days or water sports like paddleboarding, providing security and peace of mind while maintaining an effortless look all day. 

Brazilian Bottoms

The ViX Brazilian cut provides a medium-coverage option that highlights your curves while still leaving a little to the imagination. This style is the perfect balance for anyone wanting to show just enough skin. You’ll find many high legged bikini styles available in Brazilian cut as this combination elongates the legs for a figure-flattering look while giving the illusion of a bigger bum and slimmer waist. If you’re unsure if you prefer Cheeky or Brazilian cuts, read this guide that compares the two popular bikini bottoms .

Cheeky Bottoms

For the bold and body confident, our Cheeky bottoms are a playful choice. With minimal coverage, they maximize your curves and provide the best sun-kissed results. These bikini style bottoms are ideal for tanning as well as making a statement. If you're considering a daring option, you may also love our cheeky one piece bikinis for a flirty aesthetic. If you already know which cut you like but are unsure how each cut should fit on you , refer to our bikini bottom fit guide for more intel.

Cut is one thing, but so is rise. Just as the cut defines the bum coverage, the rise determines where your bikini bottom sits on your body, offering another layer of customization for your perfect bikini fit. 

High-Rise Bikini

High-rise bikini bottoms, or high-waist, provide a vintage-inspired look that defines the waist and smooths the silhouette. Generally sitting at or above the belly button, this rise offers coverage and support in other areas including the hips and lower stomach. Our Hot Pant Bottoms are famous for their curve-hugging appeal and are available in the Brazilian cut. It’s every high legged bikini lover’s go-to.

Mid-Rise Bikini

Striking a balance between coverage and style, mid-rise bikini bottoms sit just above the hips, offering a flattering fit that elongates the torso. This versatile rise works well for all body types and pairs beautifully with a variety of top styles. Most bikini bottoms are mid-rise; honorable mentions are the Basic Bottom and the Bia Tube Bottom , where you can adjust the sliding tubes to achieve your desired coverage.

Low-Rise Bikini 

A classic option for a relaxed and effortless look, low-rise bikini bottoms sit just below the hips, enhancing your natural curves. This rise is perfect for showcasing toned abs or achieving a sporty, laid-back aesthetic. Our Tie Side Bottoms offer incredible flexibility in how you style them. You can position the ties to sit on your natural waist or lower on the hips (even high leg too)—it’s all about adjusting them to your perfect fit.

In summary, choosing the right bikini bottom comes down to what you’re most comfortable in. A day of adventure calls for the security of a full-coverage cut, while a Brazilian cut might be just the thing for soaking up the sun in style. Opt for a low-rise cheeky cut for a bold and daring look, or opt for a high-rise, Brazilian cut bottom for a trendy and vintage-inspired beach look.

No matter your choice, ViX offers a range of luxurious statement-making details , and versatile designs to help you feel beautiful, confident, and comfortable. Explore our new arrivals and discover your new go-to swimwear staples.
