Womens' bikini bottoms

Composing your bikini

Buying your bottoms separately from the top allows you to fit each piece to your body shape: you choose your bottoms size independently of your bra size. Many collections, like Freya Nomad Nights or Fantasie Beach Waves, offer several styles of bottoms that match the same top, so you can create a customised bikini for the beach or the pool.

The rest of the range

Women's swimsuits also come in:

• Swimsuit tops.
• One-piece swimsuits.
• Two-piece swimsuits.

All the selection is gathered on the women's swimsuits page.

The styles

The classic bottom provides balanced coverage. The high-cut bottom, which sits higher on the hips, visually elongates the legs. The high-waisted bottom, like the Freya Koh Tao, or mid-rise, like the Fantasie Beach Waves or the Barts Isla, slims the tummy and evokes retro style. The tie-side bottom, like the Freya Fiji Falls, adjusts at the hips, and the skirted bottom adds a bit of coverage.

Brands and care

Elomi offers cuts designed for curvy shapes. Banana Moon, the French brand, and Livia feature summer patterns, Triumph and Red Point have elegant cuts, Barts and Regatta offer sporty styles. Rinse your swimsuit in clear water after each swim, wash it by hand, and lay it flat to dry in the shade to keep the elasticity intact.

Good deals

Great bargains can also be found in the good deals, sales, clearance, discounts, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24 hours are prepared and dispatched in 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, winter sales, spring French Days, then summer sales and back to school.

Frequently asked questions

Which swimsuit bottom to choose if you have a tummy?

The high-waisted bottom, possibly shaping, holds in the tummy and elongates the silhouette. The skirted bottom also provides discretion by covering the tops of the thighs while remaining comfortable on the beach.

Which swimsuit bottom for wide hips?

A bottom with wide sides or a tie-side model adjusts to the hips without pinching. The high-cut styles elongate the leg and balance the silhouette.

Can you take a different size for the bottom than the top?

Yes, that's the whole point of buying separately: you choose your bottom according to your hip measurement, regardless of your bra size. Collections like Freya Nomad Nights or Fantasie Beach Waves offer several matching styles.

How to care for a swimsuit?

Rinse it in fresh water right after swimming to remove chlorine and salt, then wash it by hand in cold water. Lay it flat to dry in the shade without wringing it out to preserve the fabric's elasticity.

How to take in a swimsuit bottom that is too big?

A tie-side bottom simply adjusts by tightening the ties. For a classic model, a small adjustment on the sides with a zigzag stitch that keeps elasticity is enough, but it's better to choose the right size at the time of purchase.
