    I personally wanna make a few of these suits ~part of my worldddddd~ *in my Ariel voice*.

    Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.

    1. A tassel trim two-piece so you can show off that you're the hottest babe on the beach. Picture it: you, on the beach, wearing this bathing suit with a margarita in your hand.

    Reviewers recommend sizing up!

    Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this swimsuit!!!! I have been eyeing similar swimsuits all the Instagram bloggers wear (by a brand I won’t name :)) but couldn’t justify spending that much on a swimsuit! This is awesome and the quality is great. I listened to the reviews that recommended sizing up, and I’m glad I did." —Stephanie

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes 4–16 and 11 colors/patterns).

    2. A retro-styled one-piece that'll have Barbie shakin' in her boots because you'll be ready to take her spot in this suit.

    Promising review: "This was my first attempt at buying a swimsuit online without trying it on, and I was super nervous...but I LOVE this suit. Finding swimsuits is always a hassle with my bust size (36D) but this keeps my boobs covered. I got an XL, and it's perfect. No cutting into my skin anywhere. I was so excited to find out that it has a lining, so there's a double layer. Definitely recommend!" —Idkeim

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 32 styles).

    3. A ssssssoooooo cute and sssssooooo bright leopard and lime green bikini to rock all vacation long and shine with the light from the sun, as Paolo said in The Lizzie McGuire Movie.

    Promising review: "I haven’t worn a bikini in eight years and this was my first one and I fell in love. The material is of good quality. I am a size 10 and I got a medium. The only thing someone may not like is that it’s cheeky on the booty, but let that thang do its thang and enjoy the bikini." –Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 29 colors).

    5. one-piece with a lace-up front and a strappy back to give total main character energy.

    Promising reviews: "I am so happy I bought this suit! It ended up being my favorite all summer long even though I was hesitant to purchase. I loved the back and chest detail as well as the bright fun color and high leg line. The back straps are adjustable which is a bonus for smaller-chested girls like myself :) would definitely purchase another and recommend to anyone looking for a cute, affordable suit!" —JLynnRN88

    "By far this is the best one-piece swimsuit I’ve ever purchased! 100% would recommend!" —Melissa M.

    Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes XS–2XL and nine colors).

    6. A strapless bandeau set that'll have everyone craning their necks to look at you. You'll look sooooo fire in this, hotter than the beach.

    Promising review: "I was hesitant to buy a bathing suit from Amazon, especially because my bottom half is usually larger in bathing suit sizes than my top. After reading reviews and looking at people's photos of the suit, I decided to purchase it. I am so happy I did. I am so impressed with the quality. The suit is made out of a nice thick comfortable material. If you are thinking about purchasing this definitely do. You will be so happy with this suit!" —Emma

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 41 colors).

    7. A high-waisted, colorblock two-piece to show a little cheek and give a high-fashion look. Now you're Miami beach-ready.

    Promising review: "Absolutely OBSESSED with this suit. From the quality of the material to the cut and style to the color and price — it’s a win all around! While I have a few suits in M, after reading the reviews, I was going back on forth on M vs L. I’m in between sizes, 5’3” and hover around 150 lbs. I sized up to L for this one bc I have wide hips and I am so glad I did! The bottoms are high leg and just cheeky enough to be fun but feel comfortable to wear around the fam! I want more colors!" —Symantha S.

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 17 colors).

    8. A three-piece set, which includes a cute little mesh sarong that matches the bikini. And the top is super versatile so you can twist it into all kinds of cute styles.

    10. zebra print bikini that'll be the first thing you pack for your vacation because it's so so cute. The wild print is just a reminder of how wildly fun your vacay is gonna be.

I go to Cabo several times a year and I change my bathing suit twice a day like I’m freaking Beyoncé so I know what I’m saying when it comes to this!!!! All that to say, DAYUM, this suit made me look incredible!! The bottoms fit like 'cheeky' undies, not fully thong, not full coverage." —Ashley Q

    Promising review: "Love this, gotten a lot of compliments so far! I got a size L, I’m normally a size 36C on top and 30–31 in bottoms. Super affordable.

    Promising review: "OMG. Bathing suit shopping is usually a nightmare for me and I always end up crying. I was super skeptical about buying online, but after reading reviews I decided to purchase this swimsuit. I’M SO GLAD I DID. This is now my favorite one-piece!!! Totally going to buy more in different colors! The ruching detail on the side is so pretty and shows off my curves. I like my suits to be high-cut and this sits on my hips perfectly. I have fairly large boobs and while this doesn’t give me the support I need, it holds them in and I feel safe swimming in the waves and jumping/playing volleyball. Shows more butt than I would prefer, but that’s what you get with high-cut. Overall this is an amazing swimsuit and I absolutely love it!" —Mags_B

    Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 33 colors).

    16. A playful ruffled top bikini that'll have you screaming "where's the beach?!" like our good sis Snooki. You in this swimsuit? Party's heeeeere *in my Snooki voice*.

I have ordered so many off of Amazon and this is by far the best one. I want this in every color. I got the yellow top with the printed bottom and it’s very cute! The yellow goes perfect with my tan! I have had several friends order this after seeing mine and they all love it as well! Do yourself a favor and get this this summer!" —Jess

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XXS–24 Plus and 46 colors and prints).

    17. A long-sleeve rash guard top and high-waist bottom set to avoid sunburn in style without needing to completely avoid the sun. Now you can freely sing that song we all had to sing in kindergarten, 🎶oh Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. Golden Sun, please shine down on meeee🎶.... please tell me you all know that song. 🫣

    Promising review: "Loved this suit! I went to Mexico on vacation and was concerned with getting too much sun. The top was perfect and I was expecting to hate the bottoms but they fit and looked great for my frame! Not only was this functional but super cute and I received a lot of compliments. I also did not get sunburned laying on the beach all day." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "The swimsuit is excellent quality. I got it for my sister, her main issue has always been bust size, and most swimsuits and bikinis lack the support. This swimsuit looks elegant, sexy, super vintage, and seems to provide enough support for it to be comfortable. I fully recommend it if you are looking for a one-piece swimsuit." —Erika

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes 4–16 and seven colors).

    20. A super sexy side lace-up one-piece that'll make everybody's head turn and wonder where you got your bathing suit from. If you're looking for modest with a sexy twist, look no further.

Dries fairly quickly! Does not excessively weigh you down when wet. Sand washes off easily. Turban stays on!

    Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 13 colors).

    23. three-piece suit with a string bikini and the absolute cutest tie-front, off-shoulder cover-up. I'm obsessed, actually. Hardest choice will be if you want just one or four of these babies.

    Promising review: "Love, love, love this suit! It's comfortable, looks cute, and actually covers your butt instead of trying to climb up it. It has soft cups, but if you aren't very busty, it doesn't matter because the ruffle covers you up." —CB

    29. A classic one-piece you can customize with words and/or a cute symbol. Bachelorette party trip or big bday trip? Grab yourself one! It'd be sooo cute if you and all your besties had matching ones for your vacay.
