Are you ready to hit the beach in an ethical suit? We've gathered together some of our favorite sustainable choices for swim season 2020. 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!
Company Spotlight
Hülya Swim is dedicated to creating the highest quality swimwear products made from eco-friendly, sustainable and recycled materials including ghost nets, carpet fibers, and tulle, which are all found in the ocean.
We love that their suits make a statement both is style and for a better earth. One of our faves is in this summery combo- the Merkai Top and highwaisted Ramé Bottom. Comfort and fashion!
Check out the new Barrier Collection from Hülya Swim. Not only are their pieces eco-friendly, but their bathing suit fabric is curated from recycled ocean debris. Take a look at the Epiphany Bikini, a suit made with great attention to detail.

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!
You should check out Pakaloha Bikinis for sustainability. They are a Hawaii-based store.
