3 perfect 4th of July bikinis

Check these out, too...

  • Ed. obsession under $20: Primp out your keyboard
  • What he really thinks of your fave summer outfit
  • Tune up your summer concert wardrobe with these picks
  • Trends we heart: Americana
This hot ‘n’ hazy holiday weekend is all about BBQs, fireworks and being super patriotic. But, um, it’s also a fab time to make a splash in the pool or at the beach. Our picks are just right for girls who still haven’t managed to snag a stellar suit (It happens!) or any chicas who just want to mix up the bikini rotation. Plus, these sweet suits are all way affordable.

We know: Red, white and blue are the mandatory colors at any July 4th gala. But this kinda-sorta red top with presh polkas is tops. Period.
 

Roxy Swimsuit Dot Print Ruffled Bikini Top, $28, macys.com

Up the star-power with a flag-inspired two piece. This pretty is crazy affordable and captures the spirit of the weekend.
 

Mudd Star Swim Separates, $15 each, kohls.com

It doesn’t get any more spot-on than this sailor-girl suit (check out those bitty button details!). Buy the set now and then mix and match it with other bikini separates for a cute, eclectic vibe.
 

Xhilaration Juniors 2-Piece Bikini Swimsuit with Buttons - Red/White/Blue Polka-Dot Print, $14 each, target.com

MOd mod mod mod!!!!!!!!!
I can't wear bikinis(muffin top/big tummy[but I'm still growing]) I can only wear tankinis but I want something other than the normal bikini bottoms I want like a skirt or shorts(boys are fine as long as they look cool and are kinda short[about to my knees]) I would really like boys I think they would look really cool!!! They need to be under $30 though any ideas??

Hey girl,

You can find tons of unique suits at department stores, so don't limit your search to specialty stores at the mall! Here are some posts with some great non-bikini suit options. Happy shopping! http://www.girlslife.com/post/2012/02/28/Suit-up-The-best-spring-break-swimwear.aspx http://www.girlslife.com/post/2011/07/25/Im-not-allowed-to-wear-a-bikini.aspx

Hey so I'm a curvy girl, and I'd like to wear a bikini, but i can't find one that has good support for my boobs. Any ideas?




Hey girl, I'd go for a bandeau type bikini -- go for something with more sturdy straps!

xoxo
