High-Leg One-Pieces That Lengthen the Line
A high-leg one-piece swimsuit visually raises the leg line and lightens the profile. Choose the cut that suits your pace—from a clean scoop to a confident high-neck for extra sun coverage.
Dial In Height, Hold and Back Shape
If you prefer more seat coverage, start with moderate high-leg and a steadier back. For a bolder look, try a higher notch or pair high-leg with an open back. Want to compare across silhouettes? Browse our one-piece swimsuits.
Edit by Detail: Cutouts, Texture, Hardware
Subtle rib adds grip without bulk; matte finishes keep colour even in bright light. If you want a sharper waist effect, sample the cutout one-piece edit. Looking for the freshest drops in this rise? See all new swimwear.
Movement Matters
Lined fronts, clean edge binding and a firm under-bust help high-leg suits stay put through laps and waves—streamlined lines without losing real-world hold.
How high should the leg be on a one-piece for everyday wear?
Start mid-high for balance—enough lengthening without overexposure. Go higher if you want a stronger visual lift or plan to style with a sarong or shorts between swims.
Do high-leg swimsuits stay secure for laps or beach runs?
Yes—choose lined fronts, a firm under-bust and clean binding at the leg edge. A slightly higher back or wider strap helps stability during movement.
What if I have a long or short torso?
Check torso length notes on the product page. Long torsos benefit from more rise and adjustable straps; shorter torsos often prefer a standard rise with a smooth back.
High-neck + high-leg vs scoop-back + high-leg—what changes?
High-neck adds sun coverage and a graphic line up top; scoop-back shifts emphasis to the back and shoulder line. Both keep the leg visually longer.
Any tips for photos and tan lines with a high-leg cut?
Apply sunscreen along the leg edge, avoid tight seams digging in, and rinse after salt or chlorine. For photos, matte fabrics keep colour even; rib adds subtle depth close-up.
