Side Tie Bikini Bottoms
Side tie bikini bottoms feature an adjustable strap at each hip, rather than a fixed elastic side seam, so you can set the rise and the tension to suit your own shape. Bydee's side tie bikini bottoms are cut from double-lined REPREVE® nylon and finished with charms on the end ties. Our side tie bikini bottoms' coverage run from minimal through to cheeky across the Malaga, Sienna and Mahe. Each style is designed to sit low as a hipster or tied higher onto the high hip, giving you two fits from the one bottom.

Bydee's side tie range includes three styles: the Malaga, the Sienna and the Mahe. The Malaga and Sienna are both minimal bikini bottom styles with a single adjustable strap at each hip and a V front shape. The Mahe is a cheeky bikini coverage bottom built on double strap bikini ties, with two separate straps on each hip. Finishing changes by print: resin beads along the waistband, hand-crochet edging with brushed gold beads, a hand-beaded shell at the front, or lace and cotton trims over contrast binding.
How Much Coverage Do Side Tie Bikini Bottoms Give?
Bydee's side tie bottoms run from minimal to cheeky coverage. The Malaga and Sienna sit at minimal, and the Mahe at cheeky. There is currently no full coverage side tie style in the range, so if you want more fabric at the back, the full coverage bikini bottom styles are fixed-side rather than tied. For less coverage than the Malaga or Sienna, look at the g string bikini range.
How to Wear Side Tie Bikini Bottoms
Tie your side tie bikini bottom low as a hipster, or tie higher so the front sits on the high hip and lengthens the leg line. You change the rise by where you tie the strap, not by buying a different size. The Mahe sits on the high hip by design. If you want a rise that sits above the navel rather than at the hip, choose high waisted bikini, and for a higher leg opening without ties,choose the high cut bikini bottoms.
Styling Side Tie Bikini Bottoms with a Waist Chain
The tie fastening at each hip already draws the eye to that part of the body, making it the perfect spot for a waist chain to sit and catch the light. Add a waist chain to finish the look from beach to bar.
Pairing Side Tie Bikini Bottoms with Tops
Side tie bikini bottoms pair especially well with a halterneck bikini top, since both styles use the same tie-string fastening for a cohesive look. All Bydee bikini tops are cut to mix and match across prints, so a side tie bottom in one colourway works just as well with a top in another. Layer over the top with a lightweight sarong or knitted sarong.
Side Tie Bikini Bottoms FAQs
What is a side tie bikini?
A side tie bikini is a bottom fastened with a strap at each hip that you tie yourself, rather than a fixed elastic side seam. It is also called a tie side bikini or tie up bikini bottoms. Because you set the tension at each hip, the same size can sit differently on two people with the same hip measurement.
How do I securely fasten a side tie bikini bottom?
Side tie bikini bottoms can be tied in either a bow or a knot at the hip. A double knot gives extra security for swimming or water sports, while a bow allows for quicker adjustment and a more decorative finish. The Mahe spreads the tension across two straps on each hip rather than one, for extra hold. Check your knots each time you come out of the water.
What bikini top style complements a side tie bikini bottom?
Halterneck bikini tops in particular complement side tie bottoms, as both feature matching tie strings and Bydee's signature charm detailing for a cohesive look. Any top can be mixed and matched with a side tie bottom in a different print for a more personalised pairing.
How do I find my size in a side tie bikini bottom?
Measure your high hip, at the very top of your hip bone, and your bottom at its widest point, then check the size guide on the product page, as guides are collection specific. The ties let you adjust tension at the hip, but they do not change how much fabric sits at the rear, so size on your bottom measurement rather than your waist.
Are Bydee side tie bikini bottoms sustainable?
They are made with Repreve swimwear nylon, a fibre spun from post-consumer and ocean-bound plastic bottles, and the fabric is double-lined. Prints are created with partner artists and produced in limited runs, and orders ship in 100% biodegradable and compostable mailers with cornstarch inner bags.
