Universal Standard, a direct-to-consumer (DTC) apparel brand renowned for its commitment to inclusivity, recently unveiled its foray into the swimwear category with the introduction of Swim with US. Since its establishment in 2015, the brand has garnered acclaim for offering an inclusive shopping experience to consumers, and continues to do so with its new line of clothing.
“Swim With Us is a true culmination of our obsession with technical design and fit,” Universal Standard Chief Design Officer Ramon Martin said in a statement. “The customer no longer has to choose between support, style, size availability, or comfort in swimwear … We’ve expertly crafted suits that feel like they are custom-made for you.”
The line includes one-pieces, bikinis, a swim dress, a swim bodysuit, rashguards, and swim shorts, offering a comprehensive selection to suit various style preferences and needs.
