Believe it or not, we’re already more than half-way through summer 2020. By now, you’ve probably already gone through every stage of grief as COVID-19 continues. I know I have! But now that the sun is shining, all we can do is make the best of what we are allowed to do during this “new normal.” For me, that means getting outdoors, roller skating and biking, hitting the beach safely, dining al-fresco, and spending as much time as I can in my bikini! To help you babes ditch the summertime sadness and embrace all this sunshine, I’ve rounded up all my favorite affordable swimsuits. Yup, they’re all under $100!

ONE-PIECE

When it comes to feeling my best in a swimsuit, one-pieces are probably my favorite! I mean there’s nothing like finding the perfect fitting one-piece that sits on the hips just right, is cheeky, but not too revealing and gives you that leg-lengthening effect. You know my 5’4″ self needs all the length I can get! From a slimming, high-thigh one-piece to something colorful and printed, here are a few faves!

HIGH-WAISTED

A close second to a good one-piece is a high waisted two-piece! This fit flatters all ages and body types and has the power to make any woman feel confident at the beach. Of course, the retro lover in me is all about a high-rise fit. I love how a high- waisted bottom always gives that illusion of a longer torso while cinching and accentuating the waist. Check these out below:

TWO-PIECE

I love that one-pieces and high-waisted bikinis are trending! I think they are so flattering but especially on my shorter body frame. Of course, we always need our traditional bikinis and our itty bitty tanning swimmies! Some of my favorite two-piece styles are bra-style tops, bandeau tops, and one-shoulder tops! All my favorites linked below.

SUSTAINABLE

 Whenever I can, I always like to give you sustainable options as well. There are a ton of ethical and eco-friendly swim brands nowadays that are so cute, but more importantly, they help make protect our pretty planet. Whether it’s recycled and regenerated fabrics, small quantity production, or donating to environmental efforts, a high-quality sustainable suit always feels like a worthy purchase and a great option.

COVER-UPS

You can’t hit the beach or the pool without a cover-up! While on the hunt for affordable swimsuits, I also found a bunch of cute beachwear and cover-ups, so I thought I’d share a few of my favorites too.

Happy Summering!
