12 Cute (And Affordable) Swimsuits Under $50

Because I spend a good chunk of time chasing summer and traveling to as many beaches as I possibly can, finding cheap and cute swimsuits under $50 is so necessary for me. I'm totally guilty (and love) taking as many "'grammable" photos as I can, and that means I need inexpensive swimsuit pieces that also let me mix up what I'm wearing as much as possible. (That's not easy to do when you're traveling and trying to pack as light as you can.)

My solution? Making sure I'm swimsuit shopping for cute styles that are super cheap. I generally try to get a bunch of tops that I can mix-and-match with similar bottoms, as this way I can get the most bang for my buck. But one pieces are really in, too, these days, even though I find that they're usually a bit on the pricey side. Luckily, you can shop one-piece swimsuits online (gorgeous, and under $50), as well!

So, grab a few tops and some solid bottoms that are perfect for matching, as well as a few statement-making one-pieces. You'll be ready for days and days on the beach or by the pool. Plus, you'll never get bored of what you're rocking. Because with affordable swimsuits like these, you can buy a few awesome styles that you can wear all summer or on your next vacation.
