Remember when the high waist tankini and bikini were all the rage, especially among moms with tiger stripes on their belly? Well that is old news. Trending these days is the high neck bathing suit which is a great look for women with ample boobage! Why? They provide extra support for your bosoms compared to string bikinis or bathing suits with halter tops or traditional straps.

Also, there is extra coverage up top with a high neck bathing suit which makes it practical and stylish at the same time. You can get a high neck in a full bathing suit with added mesh covered cutouts to add some extra sex appeal while still concealing any blemishes, or other marks you may want to keep concealed.

We highlighted some of the colorful high neck swimwear that Andrea Imayah designs and are happy to see the style has taken off and become a bonafide trend in swimsuits! Check out some high neck styles we curated for you using a tool by our partners at ShopStyle Collective!

I was checking out the recent video for one of my fave recording artists, Jidenna and was taken by the gorgeous swimsuits worn on the women featured in the video.

What struck me most was the fact that they were retro-style high-waisted and had beautiful cut-outs making them very mom friendly yet still sexy and chic.

I did a quick Google search and determined that the designs are from the creative mind of Canadian-Nigerian designer Andrea Imayah.

She has been featured in many fashion mags and other press Cosmopolitan UK, Ebony Magazine,Style HQ and other sites.

I love that the swimsuits cater to full-figured, petite, hourglass and pear shaped women. The bathing suits are full of color, patterns and prints that are inspired by cultures on the African continent

Resort season is just around the corner and these swimsuits are vibrant and would make you feel like you’re on a secluded beach on an island even when at home.

You can scored some pieces directly from her website or select boutiques in Nigeria, France, Ghana and Canada.
