…and look good doing it with these swimsuits…
We’ll keep this brief. No matter the type of swimsuit you prefer, briefs, board shorts, trunks – summer is here and it’s time to dress the part! Whether the days are balmy, overcast or unseasonably cool, you’ll be the big man on the beach with these options. As an added bonus, you’ll not only look good, but you’ll be doing good, as well.
Fair Harbor
In 2015, brother and sister Jake and Caroline Danehy, in an effort to preserve the shoreline for future generations, founded Fair Harbor, a sustainable fashion company that produces swimsuits from upcycled plastic bottles and other ocean plastic collected from all over the world.
The Sextant trunk is made from 11 recycled plastic bottles and comes in a variety of styles and colors.
J. Crew
J. Crew’s 6" stretch swim trunk is an updated classic with a modern slim fit, that keeps its old-school drawstring waist and a mesh lining to keep you comfortable in the water (and when you're lounging poolside or on the beach). This lightweight stretch swimsuit is crafted from environmentally friendly fabric made with recycled nylon that has a water-repellent finish made without fluorocarbons or PFCs. It also has UPF 50 protection, so this already hardworking fabric protects you from 98 percent of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays.
South End crewneck sweatshirt available from Sault New England.
Walden Outdoor Athletic
Walden Outdoor Athletic is a brand dedicated to sustainability and protecting wild places. In 2017, the brand introduced swimsuits using textiles produced from recycled plastics. Their goal is to divert plastic waste from polluting waterways and use this material to produce durable and meaningful goods. They donate a percentage of all sales to environmental causes.
The Club Sunga Palo Santo trunk is made from premium recycled nylon and sewn in Oakland, California. Brazilian in style the Sunga features an elasticized waistband and drawstring. It’s designed to fit more loosely than competition style swim briefs.
