Would a high waisted bikini suit my figure?

I have an hourglass figure and I don't think they suit me at all! They make my hips look huge. So maybe avoid it. I find those triangle bikini sets... The bottoms tend to be skimpy with the strings you know? They suit my hips. You might want to by a colourful bikini top or a detailed bikini top with plain or black bottoms to emphasise your boobs - giving you a balanced look.

definitely. High-waisted bikinis were designed to mimic the "pin up" style, pinup girls were very curvy and high waisted bottoms faltered their curves. so, If you're a bit curvier on the bottom, the high waist should balance you out and give you a flirty look!

Its basically this but i have skinny legs and a thigh gap

Well why dont you go try one on.
