same diagonal that creates the elongating effect — analogous to piping on a garment, it makes the cut appear more deliberate and the silhouette more pronounced.","side_tie_adjustability":"Because the strings tie at the sides, the wearer controls how high the leg opening sits — a tighter tie pulls the fabric higher for a more dramatic high-cut effect, while a looser tie creates a lower, more relaxed line, effectively making one bottom cover multiple looks.","cheeky_coverage_integration":"While a standard cheeky cut typically has a straighter leg line, Simons pairs the high-cut leg with a

the nylon-blend microfibre feels and dries","entries":{"drying_speed":"Nylon absorbs slightly more moisture than polyester, so this bottom may take a few minutes longer to dry under identical conditions — however, the microfibre's fine weave helps water shed faster than standard nylon, which means post-swim cling is minimal and the fabric stays lightweight rather than sodden.","sand_repellence":"The microfibre's tightly woven, smooth surface naturally repels fine sand particles rather than trapping them, so a quick shake after sunbathing is usually enough to keep the bottom clean — a practical advantage over cotton or textured swim fabrics at the beach.","uv_shade_drying":"Because nylon offers only moderate UV resistance, laying the bottom flat to dry in the shade prevents the sun from breaking down the fibers and keeps the contrast trim from curling — a simple habit that extends both color intensity and shape retention.","tie_side_comfort":"Nylon's flexible stretch makes it particularly suited to string-tied bottoms: the fabric hugs without constricting, and the soft hand prevents the side ties from cutting into the hips — critical in a high-cut cheeky style where the ties sit directly against skin.","wet_shape_retention":"With shape retention rated as 'Good' for nylon swim fabrics, this bottom will maintain its high-cut lines and not bag out even when saturated — the microfibre construction adds dimensional stability, ensuring the straight waistline stays smooth and the back coverage doesn't loosen throughout the day.","rinse_and_detergent_care":"A post-swim rinse in cool water removes salt and chlorine before they can compromise the nylon fibers, and avoiding fabric softener (which coats microfibre and locks in odors) while using a mild, clear detergent helps preserve the fabric's soft drape and elasticity over multiple wears.","nylon_microfibre_softness":"The stretch nylon-blend microfibre amplifies nylon's innate softness — nylon typically feels softer than polyester — with the silkiness of ultra-fine microfibre filaments, delivering a barely-there feel that prevents the string ties from chafing and allows the high-cut style to sit comfortably against the skin."},"entry_quotes":{"drying_speed":[{"url":"https://joybikini.com/nylon-vs-polyester-swimwear/","quote":"Nylon also absorbs more

side ties affect fit and coverage","entries":{"coverage_stays_cheeky":"Adjusting the ties changes the bottom's position on your hips, but the amount of rear coverage is set by the cheeky cut — cinching tighter raises the leg line without increasing coverage, so you commit to the cheeky silhouette regardless of tie tension.","fit_across_body_shapes":"Because each hip tie adjusts independently, the bottom accommodates a broad range of hip widths without gaping — the knot naturally sits at the widest point of the hip, framing rather than cutting across it, so the silhouette works on everything from narrow to wide hips.","travel_friendly_flat_pack":"With no structured waistband or hardware, this bottom folds nearly flat and resists creasing — the ties can be wrapped around the folded fabric to stay untangled, making it a space-saving option for carry-on-only packing compared to fixed-elastic briefs.","knot_placement_shapes_leg_line":"Tying the strings at or just above the natural waist raises the leg line to visually elongate the legs — a technique that works especially well with this bottom's high-cut cheeky profile — while knotting lower at the hip bone yields more coverage and a relaxed silhouette.","water_security_and_retightening":"To keep the ties from coming undone while swimming, a double bow or flat double-knot is more effective than a single knot, which tightens and jams in water — all tie-side bottoms gradually loosen when wet, so plan to retighten after swimming rather than overtightening beforehand."},"entry_quotes":{"coverage_stays_cheeky":[{"url":"https://www.paolita.co.uk/2026/05/what-is-a-tie-side-bikini/","quote":"Coverage depends on the cut of the fabric itself, not just the tie
