  • A little more pricey, but the difference in the material alone was sooo worth it.

  • I took a gamble on the non-refundable bottoms, and it paid off! The high-waist ensures that you still feel confident even after a marg and some fish tacos! And the mesh detail is to die for.
  • The top is a little more basic, but so cute. It doesn't offer much support or protection, so consider throwing this little number in your beach bag on a day that involves lots of lounging!
  • This suit offers a little more coverage without sacrificing style!

Bikini #6: Summer Stripes

Source: Beach Bunny (one of my absolute favs)

  • This one is a little more pricey – about $200 for the whole thing, but worth it??
  • The bralette-style top allows me to be more active while still providing support and can be worn on or off the beach as a top with high waisted jeans or a cute skirt.
  • The material is absolute heaven, and the sweet baby blue feel of this suit has me falling in love!

Okay – you have the visual, so now let's look at some of the facts…

First of all, it's best to know what you need to look for according to your body type – if your top and bottom halves are different sizes, look for pieces that you can buy separately so you can feel confident on both counts!

While cheaper suits can be a more risky fit, and the material might not be as butter-smooth against your skin, they can be the perfect solution when you need a cute suit for a pool party or weekend away at the beach!

When youarewilling to shell out the cash for a more pricey suit, look for something that is on-trend and can last you a long time. It also makes it so worth the money to find a versatile top that can be used as part of a cute outfit when you're not on the beach or by the pool!

Hopefully I did some of the dirty work for you, and you feel more confident about stocking up for your bikini needs! These tips, paired with some sweat during the Spring Slim Down, will leave you ultra bikini-ready and looking amazing in no time, sister!

Happy sun-bathing, babe – see you at the beach!
