Whether you’ve been working hard for swimsuit season or not, the way to look your best on the beach is with a stylish and flattering bathing suit, which aren’t always easy to find. Here’s a list of places that have great suits this season, for all budgets and styles.

Urban Outfitters: If you want the most fun and in-style bathing suit, this is the place to go. Although they may be a little pricey, Urban brings together a great mix of their usual hipster style with girly patterns and shapes in their suits. As seen above, high-waisted bottoms and one pieces with cut outs are some of their favorite styles this season.

 

 

Target: When it comes to the basics, Target is the perfect place to go. Their flattering shapes come in every color and size; Target even occasionally incorporate current styles and patterns at a low price. When you don’t have the time to pick out an expensive suit for your vacation, running to Target and picking one up will be just as good.

American Eagle/Aerie: These bathing suits are perfectly flirty and fun, while keeping you comfortable and appropriately covered up. With bra-style tops, bows, and colorful patterns, AE suits keep you feeling confident and glowing.

 

Victoria’s Secret Pink: Although VS bathing suits usually consist of solely over-padded bra tops and skimpy bottoms, the Pink section this season seems to step out of that norm. With new styles and shapes like the one above, there is a lot to choose from, and it is working well. By offering more options in style and fit, VS has really stepped up its bathing suit game. 

 

PacSun: If you’re going for a surfer-girl style, there’s nowhere else to go but PacSun. By pulling together the best of many brands, including Roxy and Hurley, PacSun offers a cool selection with every style you can think of. PacSun suits will make you feel cool and even on a very hot beach.

Overall, there’s no way to compliment your body on the beach but with a great bathing suit (besides with a piña colada in hand). Check out some of these great suits before hitting the beach this spring break and you will not be disappointed!
