Bikini bottoms – find the right style for your beach look
Bikini bottoms are a key part of your summer wardrobe and can transform your entire beach look. At Nelly, you'll find everything from minimalist thongs to more modest styles – perfect for mixing and matching fit and style. Whether you prefer classic, discreet briefs or something more trendy and eye-catching, there are styles that flatter your silhouette and feel comfortable all day long.
Popular styles and what they do for your silhouette
There are many styles to choose from: thongs, Brazilian, high waist, and micro bikini bottoms. Thongs offer minimal coverage and are perfect under tight-fitting garments, while Brazilian briefs give a rounder shape at the back without being too revealing. High-waisted briefs accentuate the waist and give a retro feel, and seamless styles are invisible under thin dresses and skirts — a smart choice if you want smooth lines.
Material, comfort, and fit to consider
When choosing bikini bottoms, material and fit are crucial. Quick-drying materials, elastane in the blend, and soft elastic edges provide better comfort and durability. Seamless edges reduce the risk of chafing and visible lines, while lined front panels provide extra security. Feel free to try different sizes and styles—the same size in different cuts can fit completely differently.
Styling tips for the beach, pool, and vacation
Bikini bottoms can be styled in many ways without losing their functionality. Combine a bottom with a matching or contrasting bikini top, or mix patterns for a playful look. For a day at the beach, try a breezy kaftan, sun hat, and sandals; for poolside lounging, throw on a pair of linen shorts or a stylish skirt. Want a sportier feel? Choose a more covering style that stays in place when you move.
Care instructions to keep your bikini bottoms looking good for longer
Proper care extends the life of your swimwear: always rinse in cold water immediately after use to remove chlorine and salt, wash by hand or in a laundry bag on a gentle cycle, and avoid tumble drying, which wears out the elastic. Let the bottoms dry in the shade to preserve the colors. Store them in a well-ventilated place and avoid sharp objects that can snag the fabric — this will keep your favorites in shape and color season after season.
