Would you like to make a splash at the beach this summer?
Then it’s probably time to invest in a hot, new bathing suit.
If you looking for the perfect, ecofriendly swimwear to meet your needs,
then you’ve come to the right place.
Beyond color, style and fit, there are other key factors to keep in mind when
choosing the best swimwear for yourself.
Ideally, a well-functioning swimsuit should:
*be stretchy while also maintaining shape
*dry quickly
*resist harsh chemicals such as chlorine and elements like salt
*block harmful UV rays
Now, couple these factors with the need to be enviromentally-friendly, and
shopping can get a little more complicated.

Fortunately for us, many eco-swimwear companies have developed high-performance,
recycled fabrics that can stand up to the elements while being better for the environment.
Many ecofriendly swimsuits are made from organic and recycled cotton, recycled nylon
or polyester.
For example, a number of  fabric brands like Repreve are produced from a variety of recycled
materials.
The good news is that more and more stylish, well-constructed, ecofriendly swimsuits–made
from natural, organic or recycled materials–are conveniently-available for purchase.

How to be a green beach babe: 20 fabulous ecofriendly swimsuits
Green certifications provide quick clues for the ecoconscious swimwear shopper.
Oeko-Tex, GOTS, and Ecocert are common certifications for green apparel and are often
found on garment tags or labels.

 “Confidence in Textiles” is the Oeko-Tex slogan that has become a

synonym worldwide for responsible production, from the sourcing of

raw materials to the sale of “clean” and high-quality products.

Certifications like these provide green consumers with key insights into the garment’s
textile creation process, such as:
*the sourcing of the raw materials
*the chemicals used in the cleaning and dying process
*the types of dyes used
*the distribution process
