Brazilian bikini: which cut suits you?
What is a Brazilian bikini?
A Brazilian bikini has a higher leg cut and less coverage at the back than a classic bottom. The result: visually longer legs and a narrower waist. It isn't as minimal as a string and not as covering as a classic style — exactly in between, which is why it's the most-worn cut in the world.
Brazilian, cheeky or string — what's the difference?
- Brazilian — high leg cut, moderate coverage at the back, narrow side straps
- Cheeky — slightly more coverage than Brazilian, a little more playful
- String — minimal coverage, thin side ties

Why handmade matters here
With a high leg cut, the finishing of the side seams decides everything. Machine-stitched edges dig in and stretch out; hand-finished seams don't. Our bottoms are lined, so they stay opaque when you step out of the water, and the side straps are adjustable — you decide how high the leg line sits.
Which figure does it suit?
The Brazilian cut flatters almost every figure. On an hourglass or pear shape the higher leg line works hardest because it lengthens the legs. If you'd rather have more coverage over the stomach, look at high waist bottoms or read which bikini suits a tummy.
