10 Sustainable Swimsuit Brands To Shop This Summer

Ana Cahill • February 15, 2021

So, we're snowed in in Nashville today, and I'm really over being cold, so I'm spending the day dreaming of all the warm places I'd like to be. Even in the winter, I get ads almost every day for swimsuits from brands like SheIn and NastyGal, and I won't pretend like I'm not tempted by all their cute styles, but nothing annoys me more than cheap suits that pill and stretch after a few wears or washes. Not to mention, I want to know my money is going towards businesses with ethical practices who take care of their employees and the environment.


So many incredible sustainable swimwear brands have emerged over the last few years, and I put together a list of my favorites for you to shop as you prepare for spring break or summer.


1.Londre

"Keep your mind dirty and the ocean clean" - my kind of people. Londre has collected over 100,000 plastic bottles from the beaches and streets of Taiwan and used them to create their swimwear, with a minimum of 6 recycled plastic bottles in every swimsuit. I just got The Multiway and it's probably the most versatile, flattering suit I've ever worn!


2. Swoon

These suits are handmade in the US - and most of them are reversible! I have one of their suits I've been wearing for years, and it still looks and feels like the day I got it.


3. Swell Obsessed

All of Swell Obsessed's cute suits are made to order and they offer such a variety of styles and sizes! The Rope Kini is my personal favorite of theirs.


4. L Space

L Space has one of the widest collections of sustainably-made suits that I've found - and they're all made with up-cycled nylon or plastic bottles.


5. Toast

Toast offers some of the cutest, minimal basic pieces that will last in your wardrobe for years!


6. Honey Lemon

These suits are ethically made in Bali from Oeko-tek certified Econyl fabric. Post-consumer materials like fishnets and plastic water bottles are collected from ocean waste, cleaned, and regenerated into small pellets into fibers and eventually into fabric for their swimwear. This saves 70k barrels of crude oil and avoids 57.1k tons of CO2 emissions compared to virgin nylon (what many other suits are made of).


7. Coco Kini

I've been following the founder of Coco Kini for years on Instagram, and love the heart and soul she puts into all these suits she makes! The sizing is super customizable, along with the styles and prints!


8.
Inbodi

Inbodi offers swimwear in a range of fabrics including recycled and sustainable ECONYL, and offer super affordable, great quality suits!


9.
ARO

Flattering fits, recycled textiles, sustainably produced and ethically made - what more could you ask for?


10. Reformation

Reformation is basically the sustainable alternative to all your major fast fashion brands - think H&M meets Zara, but with a mission to educate people on sustainable fashion, and make it accessible to all. They offer a ton of great resources on their site - as well as some super cute swimwear options!

One thing about me is I'm always looking for a cozy retreat, an excuse to slow down, and a bathtub. When I stumbled across Honeytree on Instagram, I knew I had to add it to my list for my next trip to Texas. A few weeks ago I was there to celebrate Peter's birthday, and wanted to do something relaxing that wasn't just a typical stay-cation, and I knew Honeytree would be the perfect spot. It ended up being everything I wanted and more, and I thought I'd share a little bit more about the property, the cabins, and experience so you can book the perfect retreat for yourself, a gift, or honestly any occasion you just want to unwind. The Properties: Blue Sage & The Meadow HoneyTree actually has two separate locations in Fredericksburg: The Meadow and Blue Sage . Both feel thoughtfully removed from the noise of everyday life but each has its own energy. The Meadow is a bit closer to town and home to five original treehouses, all perched among old-growth trees with views of Palo Alto Creek. These cabins are a bit more tucked away and wooded if you want to feel like you're glamping in the trees. Blue Sage , where we stayed, is a newer property about 10 minutes from downtown, with 12 uniquely designed cabins with views of wide open Hill Country land. This spot is a little more spacious and less wooded, and has a common space with grills and a fire pit. They're in the process of adding some fun wellness perks that I can't wait to go back and enjoy like a sauna, cold plunge, hot tub, and more. Each cabin is privately tucked into its own space for privacy, and the only noises we heard our whole stay were the neighbors roosters which in my opinion really authenticated the Texas Hill Country experience. The Cabins One of the things I loved most about HoneyTree is that every single cabin feels intentional and unique. The husband-and-wife founders, Jacob and Katie, designed the cabins by alternating creative lead, with one designing the even numbers and the other designing the odd numbers. You can feel the balance of perspectives and care in every detail. It was honestly so hard to choose which one to stay in, but you know I'm a sucker for a good bathtub, and Peter had one on his roof growing up and I love nostalgia, so I landed on Cabin No. 7 , aka, The Rooftop Soak Tub. We woke up to the sunrise through our giant window with a view of the hills, tanned on the roof, and of course took advance of the soak tub as much as we could. The views were wide open and uninterrupted, but the cabin still felt secluded and peaceful. It was equipped with everything we needed - towels, robes, cooking supplies, games, bug spray, blankets, all the essentials and more.
