Now that it’s almost summer (woohoo!) I really can’t wait to hop into a pool as soon as possible. These longer days and rising temperatures have all of us hoping for a cool body of water to cool off in. Whether you’re poolside or beachside, you’re going to need some cute swimwear.
In recent years, it seems like swimwear prices are rising to upwards of $100 for a bikini top (no bottom!). So we asked our editors to share some of their favorite affordable swim options from Amazon. Read on to shop one-piece swim options, dresses, bikinis and more.
Editor and contributor-loved swim from Amazon
Want to feel secure and cute this swim season? Try this award-winning swimsuit. It comes in over 20 colors and patterns to choose from, with some styles on sale for under $25.
Shop TODAY contributor Jasmine Snow loves tankinis because they are not only cute but functional. It has a thicker waistband, so it is a good option if you are looking for tummy control.
Social media video producer Anita Chomenko has this one-piece and loves that it has removable straps. She says, “I have this one! It has removable straps if you want to have straps or be strapless. I really like wearing this with shorts on top to go sit in the park and get some sun.”
The accents of different colored linings make this suit so fun for summer. Editor Shannon Garlin tried it and says, “It’s really supportive and flattering, and has good coverage for a bikini.”
This swimsuit has a little peek-a-boo of mesh fabric at the waist. It comes in a lot of fun colors for summer and has removable padding.
Garlin also recommends this one-piece. “I also bought this one-piece back in Feb to wear to Othership and for times I want to feel more covered. I love the retro 1950’s swimsuit style, and the ruching is really flattering and makes you feel snatched,” says Garlin.
Ruffles are one of my favorite accents on a swimsuit. They add a unique shape and help keep you covered if you prefer that. This swim dress has built-in bottoms and a tie skirt that sits over top, giving it a “vintage glam” look, says Snow.
Cupshe is one of our editors’ favorite swim brands on Amazon. Snow applauds the style for its “chic, wrapped look that flatters every body.”
Editor Vivien Moon is a big fan of Cupshe. She has her eye on this swimsuit and says, “I have a few pieces from Cupshe and love them! The brand is reliable and the pieces are such good quality.”
If you like a full-coverage look or you don’t like to tan your chest, try this high-neck one that Moon loves. It is made with mesh and unique back cutouts to tan.

If you like a longer swim dress for summer, try this flattering black one. It has a skirt that looks like a skater skirt and some ruching around the stomach for thicker coverage.
I love a square-neck style bikini top because I have a larger chest, and they always look flattering. One reviewer says, “If you’re looking for a flattering, comfortable, and stylish swimsuit, this High-Waisted Bikini is a total winner! It hugs in all the right places and gives a confidence boost with its sleek, timeless design.”
This black swimsuit is another great option for full-coverage. It has a higher neckline for those who want to cover up a little bit more. It has lots of verified positive reviews, so you can feel safe adding it to your swim rotation.
Polka dots are so popular for summer, especially in this navy color. This one is great for a pool party or sunny beach day. Many reviewers praised the suit for its ability to ‘tighten their midsection.”
This high-waisted bikini swimsuit has a cute keyhole tie for the top that will help keep you secure in the waves. One reviewer says, “The bottoms cover enough and hold everything together nicely.”
Ahoy! This swimsuit is such a fun nautical twist on the typical swimsuit. It has over 30,000 positive reviews and comes in various colors and prints for you to choose from.
