A cute swimsuit doesn’t have to cost a week’s worth of lunches. You can get good quality, compliment-worthy bikinis and one-pieces for as little as $50 from Cotton On. The Aussie brand just dropped its new range of swimwear and it features mix-and-match bikinis at two for $40 or three for $60 and one-pieces for $40.

Among the bikinis are triangle tops you can wear six ways and strapless bandeaus that let you skip the tan lines. The bottoms include Brazilian silhouettes with adjustable ties and full-coverage briefs for a little more support. Even better, all swimwear is made with recycled fibres, so you can buy knowing you’re being that much more sustainable.

Need help sifting through the range? These bikinis and one-pieces are my favourites.

High Apex Bikini Top, $24.99

The white and brown gingham print on this bikini is timeless, as is its triangle shape. The top also comes with removable, padded inserts.

Bow Front Strapless One Piece Cheeky, $49.99

This one-piece is unique with its velvet-look material and U-shaped, ruched neckline. Aside from the pool or beach, I’d also wear this to dinner in summer, paired with linen pants or a long, flowing skirt.

Scoop Back One Piece Cheeky, $39.99

This one-piece design comes in 12 colour but my pick is the party pink, a bubblegum pink. The swimsuit’s made with a textured, crinkle fabric and fitted with removable, foam cups.  

Bow Front Tankini Top, $29.99

This piece is part-lingerie with its frill detail and tank design and part-bikini top – it’s made from swimwear material. Strap sliders let you adjust the bikini to fit your exact size.

Thin Strap Low Scoop One Piece Cheeky, $39.99

This thin strap, low scoop swimsuit comes in 13 colours and prints but my pick is the pink and red gingham. The one-piece’s bottoms are cheeky coverage.

Refined High Side Brazilian Bikini Bottom, $24.99

This frill bottom is feminine but, with its Brazilian coverage, sexy. Its high sides are meant to sit above the hips.

Highwaisted Swim Boyshort, $24.99

Go from beach to bar, only having to throw on a tee, with these swim shorts. They come in five colours.

Balconette Bra D+ Bikini Top, $29.99

Those with big busts will appreciate this bra top with underwire that’ll support D and DD cups. Its adjustable strap sliders allow for a personal fit.

Fixed Tie Side Cheeky Bikini, $24.99

If a minimal butt cheek coverage Brazilian isn’t your vibe, go for this option, a step between Brazilian and full coverage.

Smoothing High Waisted Cheeky Bikini Bottom, $34.99

Keen for bottoms that suck everything in? These bottoms, which come in four colours, are high-waisted and have a thick waistband that can help give you shape.
