It’s summer, which means it’s also time for a highly anticipated annual update to our swimsuit collections. I like living in my swimsuit for the summer -- whether I’m at the beach, poolside, in a park or tanning on the fire escape -- so this year, I’m looking for timeless, comfortable and sustainable pieces that will hold up forever.
Here are a couple of my favorite picks through a few different price ranges (students deserve cute swimsuits too). :)
LANNI STUDIOS
Lanni Studios uses sustainable fabrics and lets you customize the colors of your Tutti Frutti collection bikini (and its strings). There are 10 colors which leaves 10,000 possibilities if you get a top and a bottom.
CUUP
Cuup has grown popular for their flattering and comfy bras, but they also make swimwear basics. Grab a set (top and bottoms sold separately) in one of three tried and true styles and a solid color of your choice.
triffid.
triffid. makes ethically made bikinis and one pieces that come in several clean silhouettes and cute prints. A personal favorite is their Salvador Rouge/Red One Piece, an elegant addition to your collection.
TROPIC OF C
Tropic of C’s fashionable, sustainable styles come in several fun prints to elevate your outfit for a day in the sun. Made with high quality materials, these make perfect investment pieces.
