Reviewing SheIn Swimsuits Under $15

It was right around this time last year that I launched my first ever SheIn bikini try-on haul to YouTube. My growth across my platforms spiraled almost immediately and to this day those videos have racked up millions of views. Although it feels a little early to be sharing swimwear with you, I’ve noticed that my swim content is currently going re-viral and is ranking at the top of my searched content.

I assume this is thanks to spring break being just a few weeks away for many. Regardless, I too am eager to get back into bikini content so today I’m reviewing over 30 different SheIn bikinis under $15.

Just like last year, I have decided to dedicate a whole blog post to the swimsuits in addition to the video. I want you to be able to see each swimsuit on as well as have a place that you can refer back to for links, sizing information, and all that jazz. I’m sharing every style possible so whatever your preference is, I’ve got you covered!

THE HAUL

Talking through all of the suits pictured below in this video. Not only am I discussing sizing, fit, and prices but I’m trying each suit on so you can see how they fit. Be sure to give this video a big thumbs up if you enjoyed so I know to do more of these in the future.

SIZING

The number one question I get regarding SheIn swimwear is sizing. For those of you wondering I am wearing the smallest size available in each of the suits. That means if they offer an XS, I am wearing an XS. If the smallest size offered in that suit is a Small then I am wearing a Small.

Want to find a swimsuit that fits you best? Here’s how to do so successfully. 

1. Take your own measurements. Take out a measuring tape and actually measure yourself. Your bust, waist, hips, and length of the torso are among the most important measurements to have on hand. For those wondering, I am a 34B in the chest, 25-inch waist, and 27-inch length for one-pieces.
2. Check the measurements for each swimsuit. Although SheIn has one standard size chart, the measurements are different for each suit. Hover over the size and it will give you all sorts of dimensions. My number one spot of reference is the waist. If the waist measurement is above a 26 I know it’s going to be far too large on me.
3. Remember that size does not equal coverage. So many people receive a cheeky suit and say it’s too small. Sizing up will not change how much your suit covers, it will simply change how large the actual item is in circumference. Do not be fooled; if the suit looks too tiny for your liking, sizing up will not instantly make the swimsuit cover as much as you would like!

LOW RISE

As I said, I am covering every suit style possible. I’ve broken them up into a few different categories for you: starting off with low-waisted suits then moving to high-waisted suits and then one-pieces. I’ve tried my best to cover all the options so some of these are full coverage, cheeky, strapless, no clasps, plunging, etc.

I’m obsessed with this color. This top is crazy flattering and surprisingly supportive thanks to the underwire. It’s pretty cheeky in the back but it comes with a cute ruffled sarong to cover-up with.

I ordered this suit in the black last month and was blown away by the quality and fit. I’ve never been one for string suits but am dabbling into them this year. This top is crazy flattering and I love the little rings along the sides.

This suit gives you the best of both worlds—it’s trendy and yet still family-friendly with a fuller coverage bottom and supportive top. Ring details are my current favorite accent. You’ll be seeing a lot of them throughout today’s haul.

This suit wasn’t my favorite. The top is rather short making underboob or a nip slip bound to happen and the bottoms run a little short in the back.

This style grew in popularity towards the end of summer 2020 and is coming back hot this season. I have to admit, this style swimsuit is incredibly impractical for both tanning and swimming since it offers little support and minimal coverage. Although it is cute as heck and looks amazing in photos!

I’m obsessed with the dainty ruffles on this suit! The top is a super safe option with adjustable straps and a small clasp along the back. The bottoms are rather tiny and tie along the sides.

Grabbed a second version of this style and I like this one a little bit more. The bottoms come up a bit higher on the hips elongating the legs like crazy. I highly recommend string-style suits if you are on the shorter side–they flatter petite figures so much!

This was easily one of my favorite suits. This top fits very similarly to your standard tee shirt bra with a little bit of underwire and adjustable straps. The bottoms have got a basic cut to them and are family-friendly in coverage. This comes in a ton of colors too!

This asymmetrical top is so unique and incredibly trendy this summer. These tops offer minimal support so if you’re bustier, I recommend skipping out. The bottoms have a moderate coverage and this yellow makes your tan pop big time!

I loved everything about this suit! The bottoms are super high cut, hitting you at the smallest point on your waist. Although they are rather cheeky. The top has got that classic bandeau style and ties along the neck. I always recommend double knotting your suit just to be safe.

I’m warning you now this suit runs very tiny in coverage but it is super cute. I love this top because it has no self-ties or clasps so there’s no chance of this one flying off!

This was hands down one of my favorite suits of the bunch. It crisscrosses a few times around the stomach leaving your waist looking as tiny as ever. The bottoms are a standard string style. Definitely not a swimsuit I recommend for a super active day in the water but it’s adorable.

This top is so supportive! If you have a larger chest I highly recommend this baby. It’s adjustable throughout so it’s super easy to cater this to your chest size. These bottoms have a little more coverage in the butt but are still a cheekier style.

I’m obsessed with this little color-blocking moment. This top is one of my favorites. It leaves a very simple tan line and is practical for swimming/diving under waves. These bottoms have a cute little cut out along the sides to spice things up.

This is easily the most popular swimsuit style of the season! There are a gazillion ways to style this kind of top so if you are looking for something versatile this is the way to go. These bottoms are fuller coverage and fit like a glove!

As you can tell, I cannot get enough of this ring-linked swimsuit style. I find them to be so flattering and there’s no chance of any knots coming undone which makes me feel a bit more secure in my suit. This top has a very standard fit that offers support while still being flattering.

Here we’ve got another ring linked top. This one has cups that are a little wider and offer some more support. There’s also a chain-linked strap that’s super cute. Bottoms are a bit wider along the sides and are full coverage in the butt.

We love a little two-toned moment. This triangle top is the cutest paired with these crises cross bottoms. These ones are super flattering and have a fun little tie along the side. This is probably my favorite kind of suit to tan in as it leaves a very basic line!

This underwire style was crazy popular last season and it’s back again this year. Thankfully, SheIn has widened the cups a bit this year so the chances of a nip slip are significantly less, lol. This one came with string bottoms and a cute little sarong that is not pictured here.

I absolutely hate the bottoms that came with this suit. They are practically a thong and the cheapest quality. Thankfully this suit came with a cute little skirt to throw over. This is actually a swimsuit material and can be worn in the water too!

I’m back and better than ever with the animal print. This suit has a very classic fit and comes with an adorable sarong to tie around the waist. I love suits that come with these as they are crazy practical.

Here we’ve got another version of that criss-cross top that’s so popular! I’m obsessed with chocolate brown; such a flattering hue once you have a tan. These bottoms are also a string style and run super tiny in coverage. A cow print sarong came with the suit as well.

HIGH RISE

High-waisted suits are trending big time! I love high-waisted suits for covering up the mid-drift area, a more full coverage fit, and for photoshoots. They can be a bit tricky in sizing but I’ve got you covered!

This crisscross style suit is so unique and different from everything I own already. I love the color blocking and think this is a fun take on a high-rise suit. I can’t say it’s a tan line I’d be thrilled to have though, lol.

If you’re looking for a supportive top that’s still flattering, this is the suit for you. This top has some underwire to it holding your boobs in place. The bottoms are a bit thinner than I would have liked but they are full coverage all around.

Hands down the best suit for water activities is this guy right here. There are no self-ties, clasps, or chances that this suit will fall off. It’s incredibly supportive and is very family-friendly. It’s got a super soft material too and this sage green is right on-trend.

This patterned suit is so unique! The top fits just like a strapless bra and has cupping making it extremely supportive if you have a larger chest. The bottoms are full coverage in the front and the back, completely concealing that mid-drift area. This too comes with a sarong!

The sizing of these bottoms was just a little off for me. I found them to be a bit big in the waist but still appreciated a full coverage fit. This top is very similar to that hot pink one, fitting more like a bra with the underwire.

How stinking cute is this?! I am obsessed with this one-shoulder, ruffled top despite it running just a tad short. I think this would be the perfect option for a bachelorette weekend. The bottoms are full coverage all around and come up right to the belly-button for a slimming look.

If you want to rock a triangle suit but have a larger chest, this is the kind you need to reach for! These cups don’t move along a string meaning this suit is going to stay in place all day. It’s got adjustable straps and a silver clasp along the back. High-waisted bottoms that look just like the last suit.

In all honesty, the bottoms of this swimsuit look like you’re wearing a diaper but the polka-dot skirt that comes with is to die for. I am obsessed! This top is just a classic strapless bandeau— great for no tan lines but now of my least favorite styles to swim in.

Loving the lace on this beauty! Such cute detailing along the high waisted bottoms and cups of this string top. This is double lined too so no see through issues either.

ONE PIECE

I didn’t forget about all my one-piece lovers out there! I’ve got just a couple today!

This is the coolest suit ever. It’s a bit tricky to put on but once you’ve got it figured out you’ll look like an hourglass in no time. It’s super high cut along the sides so you definitely have to be okay with having a little more on display. Such a fun option though and perfect for photos.

In all honesty, this was my least favorite swimsuit of the day. I didn’t fill out the cups at all and it was awkwardly long on me. It photographed decently but it’s definitely one that you need to double-check the size charts on.

SHOP THE SUITS 

Like I mentioned earlier, each one of these suits is under $15 for the top and bottom. That is such a steal already but you can grab an additional 15% off your entire SheIn purchase when you use my code Q4mckenz15 at checkout. SheIn has hundreds of other styles available so if you weren’t sold on one of these suits, you can browse through more by clicking here.

While there were definitely a few duds throughout this haul, I was pleasantly surprised by a majority of these suits and cannot wait to rock them this summer. Let me know what style swimsuits you want me to review next. Until then…

With love, McKenz
