Take a good scroll on Instagram, and you&#8217;ll see famous faces donning poolside silhouettes that cause a flashback or two. That&#8217;s right, it&#8217;s the high thigh cutout that&#8217;s trending in swimwear once again. We&#8217;re seeing one-pieces and bikinis with the&nbsp;Baywatch treatment, as&nbsp;bottoms and waistlines creep&nbsp;up higher and higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since they fit over and atop the widest part of the hips, these long, high-cut silhouettes can have a slimming effect on the waistline. This season, we expect to see them&nbsp;making some serious impact, either paired with underwire, bra-style <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/archive\/plus-size-swimwear\/\">bikini sets<\/a> or as part of thin-strapped one-pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you like to stay on the pulse of swim trends or simply love nostalgia, there&#8217;s never been a better time to hit your local suit shop and get it in on the fun. Our only suggestion? Maybe skip&nbsp;the two-tone neon Maui &amp; Sons styling and choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebudgetfashionista.com\/best-swimsuit-skin-color\/\">a color that&#8217;ll flatter your skin tone<\/a> \u2014 as not all trends are worthy of a comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 trending swimwear picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
