Each day we're inching closer and closer to beach weather, so you know what the means– yup,

target="_blank" target="_blank">bikini shopping galore. Even on the West Coast, where it's usually already hot enough to confidently stroll out in shorts, is going through a weird, mid-spring cold front this week–but that hasn't stopped me from obsessively shopping for new bikinis (it's the new Los Angeleno in me).

It feels a bit contradictory that a tiny piece of fabric can cost so much, but I'm sure you've already noticed that bikinis can be expensive. A non-designer bikini can even set you back $200 and up (especially if you buy the top and bottom separately). But as much as I love a Hot girl summer, I prefer to keep it affordably hot. In the interest of everyone's pockets, I've gathered all of the best cheap swimsuits, featuring a few of the summer's biggest bikini trends. Whether you like your suits with ample coverage or you want to embrace the tiniest of tiny, there's an affordable bikini for you–most are under $100 too.
