Are you in the market for some flattering swimsuits for hips dips? If so, you’ve come to the right place!

But what are hip dips, first of all?

Hips dips, also known as “violin hips”, look like inward indentations along the hips and where the thighs meet. Hip dips are a completely natural phenomenon caused by genetics that has gotten a bit of a bad rep.

If you look at a human skeleton, you can clearly see how there’s an empty space between your pelvis and leg bone (anatomically referred to as the femur). If you are genetically lucky, you will get soft tissue that fills up these spaces, creating the desired hourglass shape.

However, it’s completely normal, and perhaps even more common that these voids don’t get filled with tissue. This is exactly why so many women have hip dips.

Most Flattering Swimsuits For Hip Dips

Hips dips are different for everyone. Some are subtle, some are pronounced. Either way, they are not meant to be embarrassed about – and with the right swimsuits, you’ll soon forget that you had those!

Everyone wants to feel confident at the beach or by the pool, which is why for hip dips, the most flattering swimsuit would be the dress-type swimsuit.

If swimdresses are not your type and you want to show off some skin, then three-piece bikinis with a coverup would be perfect. For those not comfortable with a skimpy bottom, then bikini shorts (or swim shorts) can do their job well.

If none of the options tickle your fancy, a few cleverly designed bikinis with ruffles and ruched details can do wonders to your waist and hips as well.

Below, we’ve compiled a diverse list of bikinis at different price points and designs with links to where you can easily get them.

Enjoy your day out in the sun with these 30 gorgeous swimsuits for hip dips! 

The Best Trendy Swimsuits For Hip Dips:

1. Three-Piece Swimsuits

If you’re looking to show off a little and want to wear a bikini, one of the best ways to do that while minimizing your hip dips is to wear a three-piece bikini. These bikinis feature a skirt that is often removable, giving you more freedom to cover up or not. Either way, the skirt-add on gives a flattering and ultra-feminine vibe, and hugs your waist while hiding your hips.
