With the summer fast approaching, the idea of ditching our comfy loungewear and favorite types of leggings for swimsuits and bikinis might sound like a nightmare.

It’s a skill to be able to find flattering and well-fitting swimwear, but to make matters easier, what if we told you that TikTok’s favorite viral leggings now come in bikini form?

We’ve been loving the bum-lifting technology used in Aerie’s leggings and now it’s been put to very good use. Aerie’s latest swimwear collection features the beloved crossover waist design—and just like the leggings, they make your bum look incredible.

The new Crossover High Cut Cheeky Bikini Bottoms come in five heavenly colors: strawberry pink, hushed violet, cerulean blue, desert sand, and true black. 

They feature a flattering, high leg cut and cheeky fit, with a crossover waist that supports and gives you a great curvy shape. The bikinis are made from nylon and elastane so they are comfortable with just the right amount of stretch.

Another said: "I don’t even know where to begin! These Aerie high-waisted cheeky bikini bottoms are by far my favorite! I’ve never felt more confident in my own skin."

And a third called them the best bottoms ever, writing: "These are my new all-time favorite bikini bottoms!! They’re just the right amount of cheeky where I can comfortably wear them around family while still feeling cute! The v-front gives a nice hourglass illusion while being high-waisted perfectly hides the extra quarantine pounds."

BRB, just adding them to our basket, too!
