Fact: You don’t have to spend $300 to get a fashionable new swimsuit, especially when there are so many trendy options available on Amazon (and, no, you don’t have to buy each piece separately). Because who wouldn’t rather spend the extra money on the vacation itself? We sure would!
Stay on budget by adding some of these cheap and affordable bikinis, tankinis, and one-pieces to your list of travel essentials for your next poolside or beach trip. And saving money on your bathing suits doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style, either: Whether you prefer a bit more coverage, a little extra cheekiness, or something in between, we’ve got you covered (...or not? Ha!) with these cute Amazon suits.
By the way, if the men in your life need suits as well, we’ve picked out some of the best swim trunks so he’ll look almost as hot. Get ready to make a splash!
This burgundy beauty has lots of smart design details to make you feel supported and confident at the beach. Between the flattering ruching, tummy control front, ruffled plunging neckline, and lace-up back, we can understand why it has over 14,000 five-star ratings. Cupshe is also pretty size inclusive and available up to an XL (size 20).
For under $40 this bikini may seem too good to be true, but the nearly 7,000+ 5-star ratings say a lot. The high-waist bottoms are retro and flattering while the ruffles on the top keep your shoulders from too much sun exposure. “Very flattering!” “So many compliments” and “This is a must buy!” are just a few of the customer reviews. Need we say more?
A simple bandeau classic, this two-piece is a top-rated swimsuit with over 8,000 5-star reviews — and with reason: It comes with removable (and adjustable) straps and padding, doesn’t have any uncomfortable underwiring, and is also available in 25 different colorways to suit your personal preference.
While solid bathing suits are always a safe play, color-blocked suits definitely turn the heat up a notch. This wrap suit comes in 13 different colors and patterns so you can choose the one that best fits your personality (they’re all so cute it’s hard to narrow down).
Speaking of top-rated, this adorable black bikini is to die for and the reviews can confirm! The bow adds a little something extra to an otherwise standard bikini and we’re living for it. Plus, everyone needs a black bikini in their summer wardrobe — it’s one of the essentials.

Can you say one-piece perfection? Because this strapless number is as flattering as it looks, providing necessary support around the stomach and boobs so you look and feel flawless. Yes, the bra area is even slightly push-up and lined and there's a mesh interior for an extra layer of support. Oh, and did we mention the removable straps?
Pompoms are to bathing suits as sprinkles are to ice cream. Spoiler, They just make everything better and give the perfect pop of color to this otherwise neutral high-waist bikini. If you're not into stripes, it comes in 11 other colorways for your choosing. We just can't get enough.
No one would ever know you only spent $36 on this gorgeous black swimsuit! In fact, it's so sophisticated that it could easily pass as designer. Our favorite part is the unique cutouts, which are very on-trend for summer 2023 and perfectly suitable (pun intended) for women of all ages.
You know what they say: An itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny, yellow polka-dot bikini is a wardrobe staple and this high-waisted option is one you can feel good in. Look how cute! Don't worry if yellow isn't your color, though, as it also comes in the cutest black polka-dot as well as other striped and solid options, too.
Can we take a moment to talk about this one-shoulder bow and cutout look, please? That, coupled with the perfectly balanced leopard print on the bottom, and oh my, pretty sure we need one in every color. *Adds all 15 to cart*

We have two words: retro red. This gorgeous red tankini is made of nylon and spandex and provides the perfect amount of comfort, ruching, and chest support to hug all the right places, so you always feel the most confident.
Channel your inner Marilyn Monroe all summer with this retro-inspired striped one-piece. The details that really seal the deal on this swimsuit include the different vertical and horizontal stripes, the sexy plunge neckline, and the open back for added interest. It's an old-school take on a timeless striped suit and we can't get enough.
No more sleeping on the tankini, ladies: They give you the best of both worlds with added coverage without feeling restricting. This half-floral, half-solid two-piece provides the perfect amount of coverage in a stylish way. Pair together a flowy top and high-waisted bottoms and you can count us in.
Stick with the classics in this triangle top bikini. It certainly looks more expensive than its price tag, and you really can't go wrong with a classic black suit. If you're looking for more coverage on your bum, though, you'll want to keep scrolling to a less cheeky option.
Tie-dye doesn't have to stay inside with your loungewear. Take it with you to the beach when you wear a fun bikini like this one from SweatyRocks. It's exactly the pop 0f color that thrives in the sun and it'll leave you with minimal tan lines in the process thanks to its thin strings.
