Walking into a swimsuit department can be a daunting task on the best body-image day. Rack after rack of tiny bits of fabric handing there staring at you... Bikini or one-piece? Brief or boy-short bottom? Sexy or retro-inspired? There are so many options it can be hard to know where to start. In the interest of making quicker work of the process for you, here are nine of our favorite swimsuits from all across the Web-each one less than $105!

Polka-dot Swimsuit from Shabby Apple
You might fear the bold red sash that encircles this retro-inspired one-piece will draw unwanted attention to the tummy area, but the angle of the sash set against the polka-dotted background will actually deflect the eye from lingering over the area. The sash combined with thick cross-back straps and a full-coverage bust make this suit is perfect for every figure. ($88 from shabbyapple.com)

Skeleton One-piece from Black Milk
If you're looking to make a splash by the pool this summer, pick up Black Milk's skeleton-print swimsuit. Best of all, not only will it make you the center of attention this season, it can work as part of a Halloween costume in the fall! ($89 at blackmilkclothing.com)

Tankini and Skirt Bottom from Target
Letting it all hang out isn't for everyone, so if you're looking for a little more coverage from your suit, opt for a tankini top and skirted bottom, like this set from Target's Merona brand. And, even though the look is modest, the bright color selection (both top and bottom are available in your choice of purple, royal blue, teal, and hot pink) will ensure you still look modern. ($16.99, each piece, at target.com)
