Summer is so close, you guys! It’s my favorite time of year, and I always try to make the most of it. Even though it’s looking a little different this time around, I’m still excited about what this season has to offer. As summer is nearing, I’ve been looking forward to providing a full list of sustainable swimwear brands pioneering efforts towards ethical and sustainable practices.
As soon as I started making money in my first full-time job, I wanted to make the commitment to align my purchases with my values. Though I’ve featured swimwear here before, I wanted to make sure I had a comprehensive guide available to support protecting our beautiful surroundings and ethical working facilities, starting with swimwear.
