Clothing brand Girlfriend Collective has released a striking [size-inclusive swimwear collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloud-cups) just in time for summer. There are full coverage one-piece swimsuits, string tops, and eccentric bikinis. Lovers of neutral tones can’t go wrong with the ‘Black’ swimsuits, while others who love a pop of color can opt for shades like ‘Sea,’ ‘Provence,’ ‘Banana,’ or ‘Marina.’

Girlfriend Collective joins the list of brands that have made significant efforts toward [sustainable production](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aventura-swimwear). Items in the swimwear collection are sustainably sourced from recycled fishing nets and post-industrial waste from the ocean. Each piece boasts thick fabric, a built-in bra and cups, and a swimsuit liner.

Girlfriend Collective’s new swimwear line is now available on its dedicated website.
