The Hottest Beach Essentials Under $25
Shop this entire look for just $97.74!
It's time to start shopping for the perfect swim look you'll wear all summer, but since even the hottest swim styles come and go, and even the most covetable sunglasses may not hold up all season, it's important to scout out affordable pieces that can be replaced after they've had their time in the sun.
We challenged ourselves to put together an entire beach look for less than $100-and we did it! Not a single item costs more than $25! Read on to discover which pieces we selected for a neutral look that's totally amped up with fun accessories!
Sweet Southern Fedora, $10.80, Forever21
Working your way from the top down, choose a beachy-keen fedora/floppy hat hybrid, like this one. You'll enjoy shade for your face and an instant fly-away disguise all in one flirty piece of headgear. A solid black ribbon ensures this topper will chic-ify all of your suits!

Thick Plastic Frame Sunglasses, $4.99, Urban Outfitters
Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays in these stylish oversized sunnies. Match this retro tortoise shell print with anything you own-mixing patterns is a hot trend right now! For less than five dollars, you can afford to lose these on the lifeguard stand or accidentally scratch them with some sand.
Two 'Truth' and 'Dare' Bangles, $10.15, ASOS
The truth is that big bold bangle bracelets add a celebrity-esque quality to any swim outfit. Dare to don as many accessories that can possibly fit on your arm. The more the better! Go for a material that won't invite water damage, like plastic or resin.
O-Ring Bandeau Monokini, $19.80, Forever21
We love this edgy cutout monokini because it's a high fashion piece at a very low cost. It looks like a two-piece from the back, and hides tummy flaws in the front! It's sexy without being too revealing!
***BROWSE MORE ONE-PIECE WONDERS***
Hooded Jersey Cover-Up, $24.50, Old Navy
This cool cover-up is the one to wear on the streets pre- and post-tanning session for two reasons: Sleeves hide tender shoulders from the harsh sun, and a handy hood hides unruly beach hair! It's a win-win! Slip it on over any suit for an indoors-appropriate look.
Faux-Leather Tube Keyhole Sandals, $12.50, Old Navy
Sand won't weigh down this flip flop style sandal. We recommend these keyhole sandals, as opposed to a gladiator style because you need a shoe that will stay between you and the hot sand, not one that will trap beach debris and become a pain for your piggies.
Cheetah Tote, $15, Target
How Betsey Johnson-esque is this beach bag! We can't get enough of the wild cheetah print on this fierce purple tote. It's big enough to hold all your beach accessories! Fab!
When you add up all of these super stylish pieces, the bill comes to a grand total of just $97.74! That's one deal you can definitely afford to score.
