8 Under-$150 Swimsuits That Are Already Celeb-Approved for Summer
It’s no secret that celebrities have a penchant for wearing designer items. While we love luxurious, high-end fashion as much as the next person, it's always refreshing to see our favorite celebs steps out wearing something affordable. After all, the so-called "investment pieces" that we spot them wearing are just that—investments. They're items that we plan and save for; they may be expensive purchases, but they're not necessarily spontaneous purchases. We keep track of any affordable and celebrity-approved pieces we find for days when we feel the need to expand our wardrobe without minimizing our bank accounts.
Lately, many of those affordable and celebrity-approved pieces that we’re seeing are swimsuits… no surprise there; it is mid-July after all. Celebs like Selena Gomez, Ashley Graham, Kylie Jenner, and more, have all been spotted wearing swimsuits that are $150 and under. Keep scrolling to see them all (because why not refresh your swimsuit collection halfway through summer?).
Yara Shahidi
Yara Shahidi posted this picture of her mid-nap to Instagram, tagging J. Crew as the brand behind her bright yellow bikini. While the yellow color, which is called "burnished citron" is currently only available in size large on the brand's website, there are a whole host of other colors to choose from (I have the exact same suit in red, and it's one of the comfiest swimsuits I've ever worn).
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez wore a $40 one-piece while on vacation in Mexico. The bright red suit is from Krahs Swimwear, which is a brand that was started by Gomez's friend Theresa Mingus. Gomez even helped design a swimsuit, which she debuted in an Instagram post last May.
Emily Ratajkowski
If you follow Emily Ratajkowski on Instagram, you're well-aware that she owns her own swimsuit label, called Inamorata. While she posts pictures of herself wearing these bikinis often, the one she seems particularly drawn to is a stringy brown-and-white polka dot suit called Las Olas.
Alessandra Garcia Lorido
Alessandra Garcia Lorido might be the daughter of famous actor Andy Garcia, but the model and actress is a star in our own right (and her fashion-forward Instagram is proof of that). Here, she wears a hot pink tie-front bikini with mismatched blue bottoms while on vacation in Florida. The suit comes from ASOS. Buying both pieces will only put you out $27!).
Khloé Kardashian
Khloe Kardashian took baby True with her on vacation to Turks and Caicos last May. During her vacation, she posted multiple pictures of herself lounging beachside in a hot pink bikini, which is from White Fox Boutique, a brand that many of her sisters have been spotted wearing in the past.
Kylie Jenner
Speaking of Kylie, the beauty billionaire posted her own swimsuit pictures on Instagram a few months back. In this picture, she wears a neon green bandeau set from the aforementioned White Fox Boutique, which matches the one-pieces worn by both Jordyn and Stormi.
Ashley Graham
Ashley Graham's Swimsuits for All partnership is still going strong. Here, she poses in one of her designs from the collaboration. The set features a scoop-neck top, a high-waisted bottom, and a dangling body chain that can be worn on the top or the bottom as you wish.
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa is a fan of a printed one-piece swimsuit (that's if her recent Instagram posts are any indication). The one she wears in this picutre is from the brand Lysander Swim, and it's covered in dark green leopard print...If it's good enough for Dua Lipa, then it's good enough for us.
