Product Insights
The Contrast Trim String Cheeky Bottom from Simons blends sporty style with functional design, offering a high-cut leg opening and decorative contrast trim that visually lengthens the legs. Its nylon-blend microfibre fabric feels soft and smooth, repels sand, and packs flat for travel, while adjustable side ties provide a secure fit across hip widths and allow toggling between a high-cut and relaxed leg line. The core tradeoff is durability: the nylon shell is chlorine- and UV-sensitive, requiring rinsing after chlorinated or saltwater and drying in shade to extend its life, and double knotting side ties before swimming with retightening after. At $39 CAD, it competes with J.Crew and Aerie, offering exclusive in-house design with cheeky coverage that remains unchanged regardless of tie tension.

Deep Research
The visual effect of a high-cut cheeky cut
- The leg opening curves upward toward the hip bone instead of sitting straight across, which draws the eye diagonally and creates the illusion of a longer leg — an effect that is most dramatic when the cut sits higher on the hip.
- The contrast binding outlines the leg opening and draws the eye along the same diagonal that creates the elongating effect — analogous to piping on a garment, it makes the cut appear more deliberate and the silhouette more pronounced.
- Because the strings tie at the sides, the wearer controls how high the leg opening sits — a tighter tie pulls the fabric higher for a more dramatic high-cut effect, while a looser tie creates a lower, more relaxed line, effectively making one bottom cover multiple looks.
- While a standard cheeky cut typically has a straighter leg line, Simons pairs the high-cut leg with a cheeky rear to deliver both leg elongation and a curve-accentuating profile — more revealing than a classic cut but less extreme than a Brazilian, striking a balance that suits contemporary resort styling.
How the nylon-blend microfibre feels and dries
- Nylon absorbs slightly more moisture than polyester, so this bottom may take a few minutes longer to dry under identical conditions — however, the microfibre's fine weave helps water shed faster than standard nylon, which means post-swim cling is minimal and the fabric stays lightweight rather than sodden.
- The microfibre's tightly woven, smooth surface naturally repels fine sand particles rather than trapping them, so a quick shake after sunbathing is usually enough to keep the bottom clean — a practical advantage over cotton or textured swim fabrics at the beach.
- Because nylon offers only moderate UV resistance, laying the bottom flat to dry in the shade prevents the sun from breaking down the fibers and keeps the contrast trim from curling — a simple habit that extends both color intensity and shape retention.
- Nylon's flexible stretch makes it particularly suited to string-tied bottoms: the fabric hugs without constricting, and the soft hand prevents the side ties from cutting into the hips — critical in a high-cut cheeky style where the ties sit directly against skin.
- With shape retention rated as 'Good' for nylon swim fabrics, this bottom will maintain its high-cut lines and not bag out even when saturated — the microfibre construction adds dimensional stability, ensuring the straight waistline stays smooth and the back coverage doesn't loosen throughout the day.
- A post-swim rinse in cool water removes salt and chlorine before they can compromise the nylon fibers, and avoiding fabric softener (which coats microfibre and locks in odors) while using a mild, clear detergent helps preserve the fabric's soft drape and elasticity over multiple wears.
- The stretch nylon-blend microfibre amplifies nylon's innate softness — nylon typically feels softer than polyester — with the silkiness of ultra-fine microfibre filaments, delivering a barely-there feel that prevents the string ties from chafing and allows the high-cut style to sit comfortably against the skin.
How side ties affect fit and coverage
- Adjusting the ties changes the bottom's position on your hips, but the amount of rear coverage is set by the cheeky cut — cinching tighter raises the leg line without increasing coverage, so you commit to the cheeky silhouette regardless of tie tension.
- Because each hip tie adjusts independently, the bottom accommodates a broad range of hip widths without gaping — the knot naturally sits at the widest point of the hip, framing rather than cutting across it, so the silhouette works on everything from narrow to wide hips.
- With no structured waistband or hardware, this bottom folds nearly flat and resists creasing — the ties can be wrapped around the folded fabric to stay untangled, making it a space-saving option for carry-on-only packing compared to fixed-elastic briefs.
- Tying the strings at or just above the natural waist raises the leg line to visually elongate the legs — a technique that works especially well with this bottom's high-cut cheeky profile — while knotting lower at the hip bone yields more coverage and a relaxed silhouette.
- To keep the ties from coming undone while swimming, a double bow or flat double-knot is more effective than a single knot, which tightens and jams in water — all tie-side bottoms gradually loosen when wet, so plan to retighten after swimming rather than overtightening beforehand.
What to expect from Simons swimwear quality
- Unlike a private-label white label, this bottom is part of Simons' in-house exclusive collection and explicitly designed in Canada, which suggests the cut and styling are driven by a creative team with a point of view on how the cheeky trend should fit and sit on the body.
How the $39 price compares to similar options
- As a Simons exclusive designed in Canada, the bottom isn't a white-label piece you'll see on every website — it carries the same design-forward, limited-distribution appeal that makes department-store exclusive swimwear feel more curated than mass-market alternatives.
- Aerie's solid side-tie cheeky bottom is priced at $36.95 CAD regular — only $3 less than the Simons — so for a minimal premium you move from a basic solid to a patterned contrast-trim piece, which is an easy upsell for anyone wanting a more styled swim bottom.
- The J.Crew bottom carries a $59.50 USD regular price — the Simons at $39 CAD delivers the same piped-trim swimbottom concept for less than half the cost, making it the obvious pick for the look without a premium spend.
- Princess Polly lists their contrast-detail side-tie cheeky bottom at $29 USD, effectively on par with the Simons' $39 CAD after exchange — placing the Simons right at the going rate for trend-driven side-tie bottoms, but with the added bonus of an exclusive print and Canadian design pedigree.

Q&A
3 answered- Is the front of this bottom lined or unlined?
- The product description does not mention a lining for this bottom. Unlike some other Simons cheeky styles (e.g., the Gingham String Cheeky Bottom which specifies a lining), this one appears to be unlined — just the stretch nylon-blend microfibre fabric.
- Does this fabric hold up to chlorine and saltwater without fading or degrading?
- The stretch nylon-blend microfibre is softer and stretchier than polyester, but it is less resistant to chlorine and saltwater over time. Nylon-based swimwear tends to fade and lose elasticity faster with frequent pool use; for occasional beach trips it holds up well. For maximum longevity in chlorinated water, polyester or PBT fabrics are recommended [1][4].
- Is the contrast trim purely decorative or does it serve any functional purpose like elastic support?
- The contrast trim appears to be decorative piping only. There is no indication in the product details that it serves a functional purpose like elastic support — the fit is primarily adjusted via the side ties.
