If I had a dollar for every time a perfectly tanned girl in overpriced swimwear popped up on my Instagram feed, I might actually have a chance at affording the swimsuits they are wearing.

Although my college years keep becoming further and further behind me, Spring Break can still be a thing right? Let my wallet answer that for you: absolutely not. If the travel and accommodations weren’t enough, the swimwear prices would most definitely throw me over the edge. However, the optimist in me thinks there must be some better options out there.

Let’s face it, most women will pay large sums of money to look good in a swimsuit. Unfortunately, at this stage in our lives, large sums of money are pretty few and far between. There’s got to be at least some cute swimwear brands that don’t exploit our body image insecurity issues right?

RIGHT. Fortunately, the optimist in me won the day. It took some searching but I rounded up 10 swim brands that give you blogger beach vibes on a budget.

1. Aerie Swim

I am constantly shocked at how many people do not realize how many GREAT options Aerie has for swimwear. Not only are their products constantly on sale, but the brand is committed to not retouching their models, so we can FINALLY see what we would actually look like in a swimsuit for a change.

2. ASOS

If a world full of Instagram models going on lavish vacations in the cutest swimwear, the pressure for a unique suit is real. Unfortunately the price tag for those types of suits are all too real. Cue ASOS. This website has so many on trend options that are super reasonably priced.

3. VS Pink

VS Pink swim, a classic if there ever was one. Yes, you run the risk of running into girls on the beach with the exact same suit, but there’s a reason for it. Year after year, VS Pink delivers cute suits at an affordable price, making it the ultimate spring break staple.

4. & Other Stories 

You guys this one gets me excited. I have loved & Other Stories for awhile now, but recently I saw their swim collection…and then I saw the price. Heart eyes emojis across the board people.

5. Lively 

If you have been following me for the past few months, you know that I am obsessed with Lively bras. No other bra company can even compare to their comfiness. Good news for the universe, because they also have swim. These women understand how to fit a woman’s body so this swim line is bound to be amazing.

6. Kulani Kinis

Australia is definitely the leader in the cute swimwear arena, and this brand is no exception. While most Australian brands price their swim just out of reach, Kulani Kinis keeps their product pretty reasonable.

7. Forever 21 

When most people think of Forever21, they don’t think swim even though their swim selection is really good. Plus it’s really cheap. In other words, it is exactly what you need for spring break.

8. NA-KD

NA-KD’s swim collection checks all the boxes we need: on trend, affordable, unique. With over 200 swimsuit options, you are sure to make a statement on the beach.

9. PacSun

PacSun’s swim selection has a cool girl LA vibe and a broke girl price tag. That’s my kind of combo.

10. Missguided 

Talk about options. Regardless of your swim taste, Missguided has a suit to fit your style and your budget.
