If you've ever experienced swimsuit sticker shock, you're not alone. We too have left dressing rooms puzzled by the fact that a tiny triangle of material can cost more than our monthly shopping budget. But it doesn't have to be so hard to find the right bikini — you just have to know where to look. So we did a little digging and rounded up 26 flattering swimsuits, all of which ring in under $100. From sexy cutouts to retro high waists, this swimwear fits every style and budget. That way, you have a gorgeous suit to wear, plus a little something extra to put toward your next beach vacation.
