Cheap Plus Size Swimwear

From LoveToKnow Plussize

While "cheap" is often defined by the buyer, some women prefer cheap plus size swimwear because they either don't wear bathing suits that much and don't want to invest too much; or because they don't see the sense of paying designer prices for a garment that's going to see a lot of sun, salt and sand.

What Is Cheap?

When it comes to swimwear, what is cheap? You can find bathing suits priced in the hundreds of dollars, which may seem extreme if all you do in it is take a dip in the pool. For women who don't want to spend that kind of money, fortunately, there are less expensive alternatives available.

Decide what you'd like to spend and then shop accordingly. Some shops won't go below a certain price point (high-end stores, for example) but even there, when they run clearance sales, you might find a designer suit at an unbelievably low price. For some women, a $50.00 suit is cheap, while for others, spending more than $30 is ridiculous. The price you want to pay will determine where you should do your shopping.

Best Time to Score a Cheap Suit

Savvy shoppers know when to hit stores for the best deals and if you're looking for cheap plus size swimwear, timing is everything. The time of year to shop for inexpensive swimwear is when swimming season is nearly over. Stores are then trying to move in fall merchandise. So you might not get a chance to wear your great find that year, but you can always put it away for next year. This option works well for women who aren't necessarily interested in having the newest designs as soon as they come out.

You can even find designer swimwear at incredibly low prices by shopping at end-of-season sales. Clearance racks may be a jumble, but if you have the time and patience to weed through what's available, you can find discount bathing suits at awesome markdowns.

Where to Find Cheap Plus Size Swimwear

There's no need to break your budget on bathing suits. For full-figured women, the best places to look for flattering, well-fitting swimwear are shops that cater to the plus market, including the Women's area of department stores. Some online venues to look into for inexpensive swimwear for women of size include:

  • Swimsuits for All has a great selection of suits in several price ranges. You can find swimwear starting at $39. While there are pricier options, there are plenty of suits to choose from that are less than $60.
  • Junonia carries swimsuits in a wide range of prices as well, including complete suits for under $25. (originally sold for almost $100.00). You can also buy plus sized swimsuit separates, mixing and matching tops and bottoms (including swim shorts), for the perfect suit for you.
  • Discount retailers like Marshall's and T.J. Maxx carry designer brands at a fraction of their original costs. If you have one of these stores in your area, it's a good idea to see what they have to offer. Plus, you have the added benefit of being able to try your swimsuit on before you buy, to make sure you get the best fit.
  • Outlet stores also carry well-known brands at less expensive prices than you'll pay in the high-end stores where the designs were originally sold.

Buying Cheap

Even if you're trying to save a few dollars, it's still a good idea to choose a quality suit; this way, it will last at least one season full of swimming and sunning instead of falling apart after a couple of wearings. Check seams on your swimwear to make sure they're strong – if you receive a new suit and the seams seem especially weak, then return it before you wear it. While saving money is smart, you don't want to throw money away on a swimsuit that won't make it through one beach vacation. Shop wisely, look for deals and that cheap suit you scored may be the favorite of the season.
