10 Eco-friendly Swimsuits From Brands We Can’t Get Enough Of
You’ve probably noticed a rise in sustainable swimwear from brands you already know and love. As far as trends go, this is easily one of our favorites–and we hope it sticks around forever. You may be thinking: Why should I buy eco-friendly swimwear? If not for the incredible styles (see for yourself below), you’d also be taking part in limiting the negative impact of swimwear on the environment. Seems like a win-win, right?
Many brands are working towards sustainability: whether that’s through the use of recycled plastic bottles or fishing nets recovered from the ocean for their fabrics, or consciously focusing on sustainable practices within their manufacturing and packaging. We applaud the dedication and consideration, so we want to do our part by supporting these amazing brands who are creating products we’re excited to wear.
Toast Signature Crop Top (Spruce) $60, Toast Signature High Waist Bottom (Spruce) $55
Toast Swim
We’re total suckers for a bikini with sleeves, and this one comes in the most beautiful colors. If you weren’t already convinced solely based on the style, the fact that the fabric is eco-friendly might help seal the deal. The brand, which we fell in love with right after discovering, gives off ~zen~ vibes and is dedicated to sustainability, using recycled materials for all of their swiwmear and even eco-friendly packagaing. So, even if this style or color isn’t for you, it’s worth checking out their website to find something that is. Follow Toast on Instagram
Araks Quinn Bikini Top (Pitaya) $180, Araks Veronica Bikini Bottom (Pitaya) $100
Araks
We were drawn to this swimsuit based on it’s unique color, but the style isn’t something to scoff at either—overall, this is a staple set. You can feel less guilty on this splurge since you’re helping the environment–thank you, recycled nylon fabric! P.s. this swimsuit was also made in the USA, so if you like to support small businesses (that are also environmentally conscious), look no further. Follow Araks on Instagram
SIE Swim Logan One Piece (Eco Rose Garden) $178
SIE Swim
Warning: if receiving compliments from everyone on your next vacation is something you’d like to avoid, this is not the swimwear for you. We think we’ve hit the jackpot on one piece styles… As if it couldn’t get better, this one piece can be worn 7 different ways—so you’d basically be losing money by not buying it. Who knew recycled water bottles could turn into something so effortlessly chic? Eco-friendly swimwear is clearly not a trend you want to sleep on. Follow SIE Swim on Instagram

Love at first sight. Honestly, we’re wondering where this bikini has been our entire lives.

Not to worry, every single swimsuit they create is made from recycled and sustainable fabrics, even the linings. Follow Peony Swimwear on Instagram
Akoya Ellanora One Piece (Black) $178

We truly have no words for this one piece—if the photo doesn’t convince you, we don’t know what will. There are several reasons why we featured this swimsuit, besides the obvious. It comes in 8 different sizes (plus sizes included), it’s Italian fabric is made from regenerated Nylon called ECONYL and you can wear the straps two ways to flatter your bust. Yup, we’re sold.
