Mossimo Black Women's Shirred Swimwear (Target): This bikini is cute and flirty, with a fuller triangle top with a keyhole and tie in front. The bottoms have ties at the side, and the bikini comes in burgundy. The top prices at $18, and the bottom at $20. A great, inexpensive bikini for the season. http://bit.ly/cKJ88I
Kenneth Cole Reaction Swimsuit, Banded Halter Top & Ruched Skirted Bottom (Macy's): This bikini covers a bit more than the standard triangle, but still maintains a very sexy looks. The skirted bottom is flattering on any figure, and provides a great options for those looking for a bit more modesty. Bikini available in white, green, orange, purple, and turquoise. Top: $56. Bottom: $62. http://bit.ly/aJKA1H
Reversible Dot Sliding Halter Top (Aeropostale): This adorable halter top bikini is great for a couple reasons-this bikini can be reversed from polka dots to stripes, allowing for versatility. The bottom remains static, having both stripes and polka dots included in its design. The best part? Price. Top runs at $26.50 and the bottom is priced the same. But Aeropostale is running a special-you can mix and match any 2 bikini pieces for $35. Got to love a sale! http://bit.ly/b8h0ho
Plaid Halter Bikini (Gap): This is again, another fuller bikini top-for those bustier girls, as well as those (like myself) that are not so much. The plaid print is incredibly cute, and the tie in front is fun. The bottom is equally cute, and bikini style. Top: $36.50. Bottom: $34.50. http://gap.us/dx3L1T
AE Ruffle Bandeau Bikini (American Eagle): If I had to choose a favorite for the year, I think this one may be it. The bandeau style is flattering to all bust sizes (though may not offer quite as much support). The ruffles are fun and flirty. I happen to have a bias toward plaid when it comes to bikinis, and this one is soft and feminine. Top: $24.50. Bottom: $24.50. http://bit.ly/brBDhY
Retro Bandeau Bikini (Victoria's Secret): This is an excellent bikini with a variety of options. Not only does the top have underwire for added support, but there are a variety of solid colors and cute patterns. There are 5 different options for matching bottoms, with a variety of coverage. This is definitely one of the best bikinis on this list. Top: $32. Bottoms: $24-32. http://bit.ly/cqRdSu
Hurley One & Only Reversible Swimwear Bikini (Buckle): This is another reversible bikini, but a bit sportier than the others. The plaid print triangle top bikini comes in yellow or black/turquoise. The halter style top gives support to women of all shapes, and would look great playing volleyball. Top: $47. Bottom: $41. http://bit.ly/aJURB7
Raisins Candy Shop Swimwear Bikini (Buckle): This is another bikini on the sportier side, in stripes rather than plaid-which is also reversible to solid black. The bottom is bikini style, with cute ties on the sides. The halter top again makes this bikini great for all shapes, and its versatility is a great asset. Top: On sale for $28.14. Bottom: On sale for $24.12. http://bit.ly/9ivgHZ
Ruffled Bandeau Bikini (Express): This is yet another ruffled bandeau bikini, but this time in solid colors-available in lemon, indigo, and pitch black. The bandeau top includes a keyhole, and halter style strings. The bottom also includes a ruffled top to match. This is a fun, feminine bikini. Top: $24.50. Bottom: $24.50. http://bit.ly/bwf8nD
Halter Top Bikini (Express): This final bikini is also a halter, but features a string bikini bottom with ties at the sides. The bikini is available in 5 different prints, though I prefer the black and white floral print (listed as "pitch black"). It is both feminine and sexy. Top: $19.50. Bottom: $19.50. http://bit.ly/d7nD5A
Regardless of your shape or price range, you can find an adorable bikini this season with little difficulty. Happy shopping, and happy swimming! Enjoy that sunshine!
