Black swim bottoms by SwimZip

Our black swim bottoms collection

Black swimwear bottoms protect you from UV rays while giving you style options. From high-waisted bottoms to swim skirts, we carry black swimwear bottoms for all beach activities and styles.

Black high-waisted bikini bottoms

Black high-waisted bikini bottoms rise above the belly button to create a modest silhouette that flatters all body types. Our medium-coverage design features no-dig leg openings and front seams to minimize rubbing and flatter your figure.

A full lining keeps you comfortable and your swimsuit shapely during long pool days or beach sessions.

Our swimsuits feature a UPF 50+ nylon/spandex blend that blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays. Besides sun protection, our fabric is quick dry, chlorine resistant, and four-way stretch.

Pair these stylish, durable high-waisted bottoms with bikini tops for an iconic mix-and-match look.

Black swim shorts

Black swim shorts have a long inseam and offer full thigh coverage plus a side pocket for your essentials. The waist hits your belly button, and a drawcord creates a custom fit. XS–XL sizes feature a 5-inch inseam, while inseams on the 1X–3X extend to 8 inches.

The nylon/spandex blend with polyester lining stretches in four directions and resists chlorine damage. The smooth fabrics dry fast and stay comfy through beach days or errands.

Pair with rash guards or swim dresses for complete sun protection at the pool or beach.

Black swim leggings

These full-length swim pants feature a wide, high-rise waistband with an internal drawcord for a secure fit. A side pocket holds your phone and keys and flat seams minimize friction. The 27-inch inseam ends in a raw hem at the ankle.

From beach days to coffee runs, these leggings offer sun-safe coverage that works as standalone swimwear or casual wear. The stretchy fabric fits like standard athletic leggings and stays comfortable wet or dry.

Black swim skirts

This black swim skirt comes with adjustable side ties to customize your length—wear it ruched, long, or asymmetrical. A hidden pocket in the waistband keeps small items secure. The internal bikini liner provides coverage, while ruched styling lets you adapt the skirt to your activity or mood. New moms appreciate the three-inch waistband that sits at your belly button and smooths your postpartum midsection.

Black swim pants for kids

These European-inspired shorties feature an elastic waistband with an adjustable drawstring for a perfect fit. A side pocket stores beach treasures and a full lining adds comfort. The boyshorts-style swim bottom design lets kids move freely during water play.

These simple yet practical pants protect little ones' legs while they splash and swim.

Care tips for your black swimwear

Simple care keeps your black swimwear dark and durable. Here's what to do:

Rinse in cold water after each use.
Hand wash with mild soap.
Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.
Roll in a towel to remove the remaining water.
Air dry flat in the shade.
Don't wring or twist.
Skip the dryer.
Store flat in a drawer.

How to style your black bathing suit bottoms

Black bottoms match everything. Pair a high-waisted style with our Navy Crop Top for full sun coverage. Black swim shorts coordinate with our Neon Pink Tankini Top when visibility matters, while swim skirts pair with our Tropical Print Swim Dress for poolside events.

Complete your look with our sun hat for both style and sun protection.

Swimwear FAQ

Does a black bikini make you look thinner?

Black creates a slimming effect by minimizing shadows and creating a uniform silhouette. The dark color absorbs light rather than reflecting it, which reduces the appearance of curves and bumps, especially in high-waisted swimwear bottom styles.

What bikini bottoms make your bum look good?

Brazilian bikini bottoms have extra lift built into the design, with a cut that sits higher on the hip. Low-rise bikini bottoms elongate your legs when paired with a high-cut leg opening. Choose your favorite type to contour your natural curves. V-shaped back cuts and moderate coverage create balanced proportions without revealing too much.

How do I find the perfect bikini bottom size?

Measure your hips at their widest point. Compare this number to our size chart. When trying on a pair of bikini bottoms, you should be able to fit two fingers under the band comfortably.

Do high-waisted styles work on short torsos?

A modest silhouette with a high rise can flatter petite frames. Look for styles that hit just above your belly button rather than under your ribs. This creates a balanced proportion that lengthens your legs.
