CHEEKY CUT / FULL COVERAGE
Our Cheeky/Full-coverage swim bottoms prioritize comfort and modesty, offering the most fabric across the back and often sitting lower on the hips or at the natural waist. They provide a secure, stay-in-place fit that’s great for active beach days or simply feeling more covered.

This classic cut is a timeless choice for those who want confident coverage without sacrificing style.
SEMI CHEEKY / MODERATE COVERAGE
Our Semi-Cheeky swim bottom strikes a balance between modest and daring, offering moderate back coverage that reveals just enough.
SEMI BRAZILIAN
Our Semi-Brazilian swim bottom offers a happy medium between Brazilian and Semi-Cheeky.
BRAZILIAN BOTTOM / MINIMAL
