Are you ready to hit the beach in an ethical suit? We've gathered together some of our favorite sustainable choices for swim season 2019. Our list includes a variety of price points, styles, and selections for men, women, and children. Each one was chosen for that company's emphasis on sustainable materials and fair production practices.
We are impressed by the number of companies who are choosing to use "real" women in their marketing, and portraying them in their natural beauty rather than retouching and filtering the photos. This is a great advance from having to treat women as sexual objects to sell products. We vote yes for female dignity!

Love this list! I am so over fast fashion, and this is a great addition to my list of ethical companies.
Thank you for sharing the guide for 2018 for sustainable swimwear. https://robertandson.co.uk
Love this post! We at Beefcake Swimwear use recycled fabrics from Carvico in Italy, print in small batches (lowering waste and avoiding harmful dye processes) and sew our suits in Portland, Oregon, where folks are paid fair wages. None of our photography is re-touched and we try to show a diverse range of people in our unisex suits. Thanks!
