You've stocked up on sunblock, picked out some shades, and even got yourself the beginnings of a tan. Still need to get suited? We've found everything from boy shorts to barely-there bikinis -- at prices so low, you don't have to choose between them.

Whether your idea of fun in the sun is hanging ten at the beach or hanging out by the pool, you'll be proud to hit the deck . . .

in H&M's sporty shorts-style swimsuit ($21) . . .
or Old Navy's striped brief-bikini ($21.50).
For a sexier look, try rajman's bright tropical-print style ($64 at Macy's) . . .
or Urban Outfitters' beaded version ($56).
The best pool party suit ever? Tommy Hilfiger's bold flag-inspired bikini ($82).
