18 Amazing Swimsuits Under $40*contains affiliate links

I love the feel of summer. While it can be quite busy, it also has all the qualities of freedom and ease that feel more forgiving than the other seasons. Living in California, it can get pretty hot, but our family is always playing at the beach and lounging poolside. Finding the perfect summer swimsuit can feel overwhelming, so I’ve curated a list of 18 summer swimsuits that I love and are on trend for this summer!

This year bold cut outs, solid classics, chic hardware, and 3D floral appliques are going to be super popular. Bathing suits can be vulnerable, so even more important than what’s trending, find something you love and feel beautiful in.

Whether you’re after something bold, classic, full coverage or a bit flirty, I’ve covered options for all body types and occasions. So whether you’re off to a tropical beach vacation, hanging out at the pool, sunbathing or splashing in the sprinklers with your babes, you’re going to find something just right for you.
