Now that it's April, swimsuit season is right around the corner. Scary thought, I know. Still, though, it's always good to go ahead and start the swimsuit shopping early.
Here are 20 swimsuit options for women of all sizes, that are cute and under $40...because everybody wants to look good, feel good, and still be financially secure.
1. This black and white scoop neck one piece from Cupshe.
Cupshe is a brand I've been seeing nonstop on Pinterest lately. They've got a ton of cute swimsuit options for just about any style you'd want.
Price: 23.99
Sizing: small - xx large

2. My holy grail swimsuit: aka the plus size tiered tankini from Target
I knew I had to include this one because it's the swimsuit top I've been wearing most for the past 5 years. Let me tell you from experience that this top is adorable, and holds up SO well! This one of the more expensive on the list, but I was able to use it nonstop for 2 whole years before having to buy a replacement, so I'd say it's worth the price. It's made especially with us plus sized ladies in mind.
Price: 32.99
Sizing: 16W-26W

3. A one-piece with blue and white gingham & a twist-front!
Gingham is one of those prints that I feel like will CONSTANTLY stay in style. And even if it goes out of style...who cares? It's still adorable, and perfect for the beach.
Price: 39.99
Sizing: x small - xx large (also available in plus size here)

4. Forever 21 crimson twist-front swimsuit.
https://www.forever21.com/us/shop/catalog/product/plus/plus_size-swimwear/2000329205
I actually just added this to my cart when I found it. Tankinis are so effortlessly flattering. You just throw them on, and let them flow. And, while this is technically just the top, you could use just about any set of bottoms for this, so it doesn't end up breaking the bank.
Price: 22.99
Sizing: 0x - 3x

5. A little black swimsuit with cute sleeves.
https://www.zaful.com/off-the-shoulder-flounced-one-piece-swimwear-p_269953.html
Zaful, admittedly, is a website I've been pretty hesitant about. I've only ever heard about them when being mentioned by youtubers or social media influencers, but after having heard one of my friends say how much she loves their website, I decided I'd try and see what all they had in the swimsuit department. Turns out, they have a lot...including this one.
Price: 13.83 (and they usually have online store codes!)
Sizing: small to large

19. Champagne...but in swimsuit form.
So this one is definitely the highest on the list, and even with the sale price, it's pretty expensive. Buuuut, it's a unique swimsuit, and it's still under $50, making it pretty inexpensive as far as quality swimwear is concerned. Its price is definitely lifted due to it's ties to Kendall and Kylie Jenner, but it's hard to deny that it's a damn cute swimsuit.

20. Any of Boohoo's mix and match bikini sets!

Sizing: 2 - 12

While all of these swimsuits are cute, and affordable (as far as swimwear is concerned), at the end of the day, it doesn't truly matter which one you pick. All that matters is that you feel great in what you're wearing and that you fully rock that body confidence in and out of the pool this summer.
