It’s officially SUMMERTIME which means, swimsuit season! One of my most asked questions I’ve gotten this year is, “WHERE ARE ALL THE GOOD SWIMSUITS?!” No cheeky bottoms, crazy high legs or cutouts, just good quality swimwear! Well, if you’re one of the people asking that question, you’ve come to the right place! Y’all know I LOVE Target for all kinds of reasons, but especially for their swim! I get so excited to see their new styles every year because I know they will be good quality, on trend, and a great bang for your buck!
If you’ve missed my previous #TARGETTUESDAYWITHKATIE, I’ve already shared a few of my favorite swim pieces from their summer 2021 line, but below you’ll find my master list of bikini, one-piece, and coverup favorites from Target’s ‘Xhilaration‘ brand! I wanted you guys to feel super comfortable purchasing any of these suits, so I’ve tried on each and every item below to see the style, the fit, and the quality. You can also feel comfortable about the prices because everything is UNDER $30 each!!
SIZING: wearing a size SMALL in all tops & bottoms.
TWO-PIECES
WHITE TEXTURED TWO-PIECE: ATTENTION BRIDES TO BE! This suit would be SO cute if you have a bachelorette trip or honeymoon this summer! The top is a super flattering fit (beware, straps are NOT adjustable), and the high-waisted bottoms are comfy without the cheeky. It DOES have some glitter to it with the silver metallic threading, but I loved that touch! *FITS TTS*
PURPLE RIBBED WITH TIE TOP: deeming this my favorite of the bunch! Brings in the trendy aspect with the ties in front and ribbed material AND has GREAT COVERAGE! High-waisted bottoms are very comfortable and offer lots of coverage, while the top is flattering for both smaller and larger chested gals! *FITS TTS*
GREEN CHEVRON: this suit is one of my favorites!! I love the material and the subtle chevron pattern. Fits very similar to the white suit (strap also does not adjust). The style of this top is better for girls with a larger chest, and the bottoms are just the right fit where they’re not too high-legged or cheeky! *FITS TTS*
CHEETAH LOW-RISE: Wanted to give you guys a good low-rise option, so here she is! I am a sucker for an animal print swimsuit, but the top is what drew me in! The wired bra style is so flattering and cute. I do, however, wish this came with a high-waisted bottom option because I don’t prefer low rise. If you do love the low-rise look, I recommend sizing UP because they run a little smaller.
B&W STRIPED: another style with great coverage & fit! Straps again ARE NOT adjustable so go your true size. Bottoms are nice and high-waisted without the cheeky cut. You can’t see it super well in the photos, but this pattern is METALLIC, so IT DOES HAVE A SPARKLE TO IT! If you’re looking for a trendy, sparkly suit for something this summer this is it! Maybe for a bachelorette party?! *FITS TTS*
ONE PIECES
RIBBED ONE-PIECE: my favorite one-piece style from Target this year! Not super cheeky, no ultra high cut leg, fun open back, and it’s COMFY! The ribbed material on this one gives a super flattering and slimming look! 3 COLOR OPTIONS AVAILABLE. *FITS TTS*
FLORAL ONE-PIECE: another one of my favorites for the fit + the colors are gorgeous in person!! The only difference between the two; this one has a square neckline and a little bit of a lower back cutout. They do, however, have the same fit- not cheeky or high cut, open back. *FITS TTS*
COVERUPS
V-NECK MIDI: I LOVE these coverups where you can look cute heading to the beach/pool, and also be dressed enough to hit up a restaurant for lunch after! Super soft and light cotton material. Also comes in black!
OTHER STYLES TO TRY:
*These are more of my favorites that are flattering and have better coverage. I have not personally tried all of these on but, I’ve seen them in person for quality purposes!
