5 Sustainable Swimwear Brands You Need to Check Out This Summer
Many of us are seeking to make more sustainable fashion choices this year - buying less, buying second hand and trying to steer clear of fast fashion. Buying swimwear for the summer can be a daunting and overwhelming task. “Will that fit?” “Can you see my nipples through this when it's wet?” “Is this actually worth it?” “Does this look cute on me?”. We’ve all been there, and wanting your pieces to be sustainable just makes the whole process a bit harder. So, we’ve made it just a tad easier for you. Here are 5 sustainable swimwear brands for you to check out this summer season:
