Tree Hugger has rounded up a collection of swimsuits for the environmentally conscientious fashionista. The sustainable swimwear is made of materials like bamboo and organic cotton though some are made from fabric remnants.
Sustainable swimwear styles range from provocative bikinis to retro one-piece bathing suits that carry price tags similar to the non-eco garments. The EMOBI purple print slider halter cutaway swimsuit (lead photo) is a daring one-piece design made in Australia. It's printed with water-based dyes and is a sassy answer to anyone who thinks sustainability has to be boring.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Sustainable Swimwear
- Making eco-friendly swimsuits by using materials like bamboo and organic cotton is a significant trend in the fashion industry.
- Water-based Dyes
- The usage of water-based dyes in printing designs on swimwear or clothes looks like the future trend in eco-friendly fashion.
- Fabric Remnants
- Another trend in sustainable fashion is to use fabric remnants for creating newer fabrics, for example, making swimwear from them.
Industries Being Reshaped
