Summer’s coming up, and I simply had to share this bikini set from the new Sauvage Été collection by Sueur Swim. The entire collection is stunning, but I was instantly drawn to the oversized, jewel-tipped hardware of this bikini.
Thinx recently settled a much-publicised class action lawsuit for not disclosing that its products contained PFAS, so you might be wondering if these period swimwear brands also contain toxic chemicals. For each brand, I’ve noted down whether they contain PFAS or what they say about the matter.
I’m slowly coming around to appreciating swimwear in its own right. It’s not just a water-appropriate bodysuit or bra set – it’s a whole other garment type, one that’s designed to be seen so why not have fun with it? Since it doesn’t have to fit sleekly under clothing, it’s the perfect opportunity to opt for big, 3D details.
In case you’re new around here and haven’t seen the numerous times I’ve gushed over this brand before, the ethically-made indie label Love & Swans is truly one of the most exciting lingerie brands to come out of the 2020s so far, and now it’s getting even better with the launch of swimwear.
This summer, the consensus seems to be that we only have one life to live – safely. Bikinis are definitely de rigueur and size ranges are expanding up to KK cups. Here are some of the full bust swimwear brands I recently discovered, or rediscovered, on social media this year.
These two bikinis are made from 88% recycled polyester, created from plastic bottles and textile waste. It’s a process that both finds a use for plastic waste, and saves water and energy compared to creating a similar fabric from virgin materials.
This seems a strange time to be writing about a swimwear brand. I think maybe I’m living vicariously through Deakin & Blue’s product imagery, because I’ve found myself repeatedly checking out their website since I discovered the brand just over a month ago.
Chromat’s Spring/Summer 2020 lookbook, for their collection SS20: Ten, is more than simply a preview of another season’s styles. The release of this collection marks the brand’s 10 year anniversary. It’s a birthday party, and Chromat is ready to celebrate!
After discovering how difficult it was for her plus-size niece to find stylish swimwear, Olga Caro was inspired to begin research into designing for plus-size bodies and eventually founded the company with young women like her niece as the target demographic.
As September winds down, I can’t help but feel sad that summer is basically over, and with it those seaside days that make the season so special. Then I realised: why let the beachy vibes fade with summer?
