summer is officially here and that means we’re headed into prime swimsuit-wearing season. given how little i lay out (#fairskinnedproblems) i always have a hard time investing in my swimsuits since they only get worn a few times a season/year.

 

 

zara bikini top (similar) || target bikini bottoms || j.crew factory denim shorts

cuyana hat || carrie forbes sandals || urban outfitters sunglasses

 

 

i snagged this adorable zara top way before the start of the season (it has unfortunately since sold out) and was pleasantly surprised by their abundance of cute and affordable options. when it comes to swimwear, you really don’t have to spend a fortune to look chic.

so in honor of the fourth of july weekend and the fact that you’ll most likely be hitting the beach or pool tomorrow, i’ve rounded up some of my favorite swimsuits under $50. just don’t forget the sunscreen!
