20 Crazy Expensive Swimsuits

Tiny scraps of fabric, sewn into bikinis and one piece swimsuits can cost as much as a mortgage payment!

-PJ Gach

Personally, I could never understand how a bathing suit; be it a bikini or a once piece, could cost so much money. After all, the fabric used is less than a yard. A yard of lycra can’t cost more than $10 on a good day, right? That’s always been my thinking. Every year, I’d struggle with the idea of buying a new suit. Other than the fact I loathe swimsuit weather, I’m a miser when it comes to spending money.

When I found out that there are swimsuits that cost $1000, I knew I had to share the insanity. I doubt that any of the bikinis or one pieces on this list will ever meet chlorine or the sea.
