Catarina High Waist Bottom

This high-cut bikini bottom leans into a structured, mid-century aesthetic with a wide, belt-like waistband and a polished gold-tone buckle. The nylon-spandex blend provides a firm, matte finish that contours the hips, while the abbreviated leg line creates a sharp, elongated silhouette. It functions more like a piece of tailored swimwear than a basic bikini, trading traditional ties for a clean, hardware-focused look.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: Composed primarily of nylon and spandex, this garment is a petroleum-based synthetic with low breathability and high potential for microplastic shedding. These fibers are non-absorbent, which can trap heat and moisture against the skin during prolonged wear.
