Swimwear Brands to Watch
Vitamin A: A Favourite Since 2016
Vitamin A, a brand that has been close to my heart since 2016, showcases its durability with my original Vitamin A swimsuit still in use after seven years. Their sustainable approach to swimwear has made them a go-to choice for many eco-conscious fashion enthusiasts.
The Best of Sustainable Swimwear
- Nanushka offers minimalistic, timeless styles made from organic and recycled nylon, with a focus on garment longevity through initiatives like Repair, Rent, and Recycle.
- Vanessa Sposi creates European-crafted swimwear from Econyl® yarn, featuring OEKO-TEX® certified fabrics, natural antioxidants in linings, and biodegradable packaging.
- Duskii designs sustainable active swimwear from Repreve® fabric, prioritizing performance, comfort, and zero-waste packaging.
- SEPTEMBER crafts luxurious, durable swimwear from 100% recycled nylon sourced in Italy, ensuring quality that lasts seasons beyond typical fashion cycles.
- Reformation Swim recently launched a plastic-free collection made from plant-based fabric derived from castor plants, featuring vintage-inspired timeless aesthetics.
- Away That Day offers affordable, mix-and-match pieces with a recycling program that repurposes old swimwear into new collections.

Activewear Recommendations
For men, brands like prAna and Bather make sustainable swim trunks from recycled materials with thoughtful design and durability.
Standout Finds
- The Astrid Bralette Top from Vitamin A is a classic, sporty choice with minimalist hardware detail.
- The Athleta Transcend Stash Tights in Bali Green feature pockets and have caught my eye due to their deep and neutral green colour.
- The California High Leg Bottom from Vitamin A is now available in a full coverage option, making it suitable for city pool use.
Accessories and Essentials
- The Modern Citizen Knit Vest, a recent discovery, offers an understated and neutral piece with a knit texture, v-neck cut, and button detail. However, be quick, as it's getting low in stock.
- Negative Underwear offers breezy, breathable mesh bras, which could be suitable for hot weather. The Negative Sieve Cutout Bra, in particular, shows promise in alleviating boob sweat in hot weather.
