STYLE

Summer means beach days and trips to your local pool. Whether you're spending your summer laying out in the sun or body surfing on the beach, we have the scoop on sustainable swimwear that you need this summer. 

When shopping for swimsuits, remember to consider the ethics and sustainability of the brands you're buying. Brands like Shein and Zaful might tempt you with low prices and trendy styles, but the quality might disappoint you. Fast fashion brands often encourage overconsumption with crazy low prices. Mass-producing cheap and lower-quality clothing to keep up with ever-changing microtrends encourages shoppers to overconsume rather than invest in high-quality pieces that will last years. 

This summer, why not invest in some sustainable swimsuit brands? We made a list of some of some of our faves...

Do Good Swimwear

Do Good Swimwear, $62

Do Good Swimwear is eco-friendly and made to last. Each swimsuit is made out of regenerated yarn from pre and post-consumer waste. These suits are perfect for the girl who loves to hit the surf.

Summersalt

Summersalt, $50

Summersalt has everything you need, from timeless basics to more daring pieces. The brand's signature color block patterns make for the perfect fun summer look. The brand uses recycled material to create fabrics and product packaging that are earth-friendly. Plus, we heart their inclusive size range. 

Wolven

Wolven, $72

Wolven is the go-to place for the girl who loves bold eye-catching patterns. The brand is committed to sustainability, donating portions of its profit to environmental efforts in order to offset its carbon emissions.
