Over the past few seasons, the high-cut one-piece swimsuit has reemerged both poolside and on Instagram, giving the bikini a run for its money. (When I was younger, I wouldn't be caught dead at the local community pool in a one-piece, but today—now that I'm older and wiser—I find the high-cut one-piece sexier and more feminine than our old friend the bikini.) From cheeky backsides to plunging fronts, and every possible cut-out imagined to minimize tan lines, there is no reason not to give one a try. Especially, when this high-cut leg and curve-hugging swimsuit silhouette can be found in every color, print, and texture. I have searched the depths of the Internet for the most flattering options available now. #Triggerwarning: If you haven't already daydreamed about a summer vacation, you will be by the time you've scrolled to the bottom of this page.
This sexy, high-cut swimsuit hugs you in all the right areas and comes with a padded top for that extra boost in support.
Latex catsuit or swimsuit? This shiny-finish one-piece speaks to both styles and would definitely be Halle Berry-approved.
This floral print was all over the Fendi runway for spring/summer 2020. You can bet on this swimsuit having a moment on rooftops (and balconies) in the concrete jungle this summer.
This retro floral print swimsuit with its plunging neckline, high-cut legs, and flattering center twist detail is perfect for summer. Round out your look with this pink convertible car float and you're ready for that summer drive-in.
This crochet one-piece highlights your curves with its high-cut sides and plunging back. Pair with a straw hat and oversized sunnies for the ultimate poolside princess vibe.
Hunza G's signature seersucker fabric creates the ultimate textured swimsuit. Wear this to the beach or to the nearest beach bar with your favorite denim shorts.
Need a swimsuit worthy of a selfie? This high-cut tie-dye number is vacation-photo goals.
Sweet and girly is how we'd describe this high-cut one-piece swimsuit. The millennial pink tie-dye and bow details will make this a fun piece to have in your swim collection. Give the whole look a little extra flair with this matching solid & striped sarong.
Hubba hubba! All I see when looking at this high-cut, v-neck swimsuit is a slow motion Baywatch scene. Take it easy in this number, the lifeguards might be asking for mouth to mouth.
There's nothing better than having a solid white swimsuit highlight your sun-kissed skin. Try this sexy, high-cut one-piece with sneaky side cut-outs.
Rule the next Vegas pool party in this attention-grabbing animal print one-piece. Nobody will dare upstage you in your "sanctuary."
In the immortal words of Sonja Morgan, "leopard is my neutral." (And, I completely agree.) This one-piece features a plunging back and cheeky side boob reveals.
You've been working on your abs all winter and you're not ready to cover them up just yet. Show off that hard work and opt for this cut-out high-cut suit from Tropic of C.
Missoni is answering our boho dreams with this cut-out one-piece that gives us a sexy bikini illusion! Make it a full look with these Missoni zig-zag trousers and Missoni headband. Wear the outfit to a yacht party in Italy, where it belongs.
