Summer officially begins this week, which means we cannot put off buying bikinis any longer. Some people really enjoy buying bikinis, which I find insane because it is a horrible process. They are expensive, never fit me correctly and I end up growing out of them the next year, needing to buy more again. I have hit that part of the process where my swimsuits don’t fit me and I need more, and I don’t doubt that you need more too.
Thus, I want to help us out, whether or not you hate bikini shopping. I did some internet investigation and compiled a list of 5 online stores that sell bikinis. These are stores that influencers buy from (more pricey) and I buy from (not pricey), ranging from cheap to expensive, but all good quality! Hopefully, this list will make yours and my lives a little bit easier, and maybe even enjoyable.
FYI: This list will go from most affordable to most expensive.

1. Target
Average: $15 Range: $10-$60
Pro: Target’s quality is always great, especially their swimsuits. Super affordable, it won’t cost me more than $30. They offer different styles of swimsuits in a variety of trendy patterns and colors. They also offer sustainable swimwear and are size-inclusive!
Con: The one thing I don’t like about Target swimsuits is I really struggle with the sizing, I still don’t know what size I am. It always depends on the style top or bottom, so I end up guessing the size. As you can guess, I’ve made a loss of returns based on getting the wrong size.
2. Aerie
Average: $20 Range: $10-$45
Pro: If I don’t need a swimsuit asap, then I will order it from Aerie because I live in my Aerie bikinis. They offer full coverage swimsuits, are also size-inclusive, and have recycled suits. Aerie also has a ton of swimsuit style that you won’t see in most stores, while also being affordable.
Con: They’re not true to size in bikini tops, I highly recommend sizing up one because the tops tend to run small.
3. Pacsun
Average: $25 Range: $10-$200
Pro: Pacsun’s swim is insanely cute and up-to-date on trends. They offer the cutest bikinis, for a really affordable price. You’ll see their bikinis on influencers all over Instagram because of how pretty they are.
Con: Do not offer a lot of full coverage swim, and size XS and XXS are limited.
4. Blackbough Swim
Average: $40 Range: $30-$45
Pro: Blackbough Swim is similar to Pacsun because it is often seen on influencers, but they have more styles. They have really beautiful bikini tops, offer eco-friendly options, and their reviews are predominately positive.
Con: Size XS and fuller coverage bikinis are not offered. Price is also on the higher side.
5. Andi Bagus
Average: $70 Range: $30-$200
Pro: Ethically made, handmade by local artists in Indonesia, and insanely unique. Andi Bagus is not only an amazing company because of how ethically run they are, but their swimsuits are beautiful. They offer crochet pieces, cover-ups, and even dresses. Their swimsuits are even worn by Tyra Banks! The price is more expensive, but you can get an entire bikini set for the price.
Con: The most expensive option if you do not want to spend a lot on a swimsuit. Tops are not as supportive for larger chests. No full-coverage option – bikinis lean more towards the risque side.
