Women's Summer Swimsuit Fashion 2014: Cute Bathing Suits for Different Budgets & Styles
Bathing suit season is nearly here, and finding the perfect swimwear can be a challenge. Whether you prefer bikinis or monokinis, or you have a limited budget (or not), we've found your go-to suit for this summer.
Modest
If you love bikinis, but want to be a little more covered up, go for one with a vintage cut. A high-waisted bottom will cover more of your midsection, and is still fashion forward. Cost: $64 for first bikini, $50 for second. Buy it here or here.
This one-piece bathing suit doesn't have high bikini line, so it's a bit more covered up. And even the neckline isn't too low. This Madewell suit features a brown pattern that's cute but won't make you feel as though everyone is looking at you. Cost: $190. Buy it here.
Sexy
Bikinis are already pretty sexy, but this Bikini Lab bathing suit has a few cutouts that take it up a notch. But it's very subtle and absolutely on-trend. Cost: $38 for top, $36 for bottom. Buy it here. Instagram/bikinilab
Who says one-piece bathing suits aren't sexy? This Tori Praver Swimwear suit (second from left) has a low neckline and an exposed back. Price: $150. Buy it here. Instagram/toripraverswimwear
Sweet
It doesn't get more adorable than ruffles. This Zinke bathing suit has floral, a ruffled peplum and a touch of blue piping along the bustline. With the peplum, the suit is more suited toward women with apple-shaped figures. But the peplum is removable, making it more flattering to a wider range of women. Price: $132. Buy it here.

Polka dots are a recipe for sweet. This swimsuit has a top with coral dots on a white background, and the bottoms are white dots on a coral background. If you already own a swimsuit in one of these colors, then you can really give yourself some more mixing and matching options. Price: $68. Buy it here.
Fun
Here's something you won't see everyone wearing: a flamingo-themed one-piece suit. This Wildfox Couture is quirky and fun. Price: $138. Buy it here. Instagram/Wildfoxcouture
If you need more color in your life, then this Old Navy suit is the answer. There's nothing mild about it. The pattern is bold and the color is fun. Cost: $19.94 for top, $16.94 for bottom. Buy it here.
