Product Insights
The Simons High-Cut Cheekie Bottom ($29, in stock) is a low-rise swim bottom that elongates legs by raising the eyeline above the widest thigh point and minimizes tan lines while revealing 30–50% of each cheek. Originating in 1980s fitness wear and returning as a 2020s trend, it sits lower and is more revealing on long torsos or full glutes; avoid pulling sides higher to prevent rolling and extra exposure. Made from 85% reprocessed nylon and 15% spandex from pre-/post-consumer waste, the recycled nylon reduces CO₂ emissions up to 90% vs. virgin, and hand washing is recommended to maintain fit.
