Us grown-up ladysliders are so grateful for the resurgence of high-waisted bottoms...
And the Phuket bottoms are a brilliant example of why. They bring all the benefits of high-waisted bottoms (full coverage, hold in the surf, no bum burn or wax rash), but they are cozy and welcoming. The Phukets hit at or just below your navel, and extend down to your upper thighs in a retro, full coverage shape. The ribbed fabric stretches for comfort but holds to your body during duck dives or if -- God forbid -- you have to turtle roll a big set.
Whether you are a size 0 model or a new mom, the Phukets flatter everybody, and make you feel womanly, comfortable, and attractive all at the same time. You don't have to worry about when your last bikini wax was, whether the waistline is cutting into your muffintop, or feeling self conscious for any other reason... and you can still wear a bikini!
Match the Phuket bottoms with the Xara top in picante cordure. The ribbed fabric does stretch, so if you are between sizes, you may want to size down to wear them in serious surf.
