COLETTE CHEEKY BIKINI BOTTOM

The adjustable side ties are what sold me, since I can actually tighten them to sit right on my hips. The Italian swim jersey feels substantial, not that flimsy stuff that goes see-through when wet.

I wore this for a week straight on vacation and the Italian swim jersey never stretched out or faded, even after daily saltwater and sunscreen. It sits low on the hips exactly like I hoped, and the minimal coverage still feels secure.

The adjustable side ties are the best part — I can make them as snug or loose as I want, and they've stayed put through a full afternoon of swimming. Coverage is definitely minimal, so know that going in, but that low hip fit is exactly what I wanted.
