November 2019 :: A little plastic microfiber update here.  :)  

I came across a wonderfully fair swimsuit the other day + it sparked the idea for this post! Personally, I don't wear a swimsuit too often...so the one I've had for a few years still works (I think...maybe I should try it on).  :) That swimsuit in the closet is the most ethical one...but if a new one is on your list...here are a few fair brands to check out. 

Stretchy synthetic fabrics might be just the thing for swimwear...but I am intrigued by the idea of a little organic cotton Pansy or Arq working in this category. It might be best for beachwear...and not in-the-water wear... but ah, minimalism!  :) I'm also intrigued by the idea of using a Girlfriend Collective sports bra as swimwear with either a pair of their short gym shorts or a bottom from a different brand. This multi-use concept is making me all kinds of excited!  :)

This post will be linked on the ethical brands page for easy access. All beautiful photos via links. 

Hope sunny days are in your present + are plentiful in your future!

Love,
Jane
