If you’ve been daydreaming about summer beach days and lying outside with your friends quite a lot lately, then this story is for you. Oddly enough, swimwear can come with a pretty high price tag, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. If you look really hard, you can find hidden gems that, although they won’t cost you more than $100 (yes, for both pieces), will look like you paid much more than that. 

When it comes to finding cheap swimwear that looks expensive, there are a few things that you should be mindful of: prints, seams, and straps. So long as those few details are examined with a fine-tooth comb, you’ll be fooling everyone as you wear a $20 bikini that looks like it cost $200. 

Ahead, go on to shop the best cheap bikinis on the market from some of your go-to retailers such as Amazon, H&M, and Zara.
