Everlane Swim

I don’t know about you, but I can go along time between bathing suit shopping!  It’s not my favorite experience and I don’t wear one very often.   I think the last time I bought swimwear was for our Hawaii trip … hmmm 8 years ago?!  So … anyway, let’s just say I was WAY overdue for a brand new swimsuit!  Everlane unveiling their new eco-friendly swim collection was just the motivation I needed to take the plunge (pun intended)!

Why I LOVE Everlane Swim

Everlane’s new swim collection is made of high-quality Italian fabric created from recycled plastic!  Gorgeous fabric, affordable, and good for the environment? Yes, yes, & yes!  Also the simple silhouettes are timeless and flattering, including one pieces, as well as mix and match tops and bottoms.

I love the simple one pieces, but they are just about impossible to fit on me.  I always do better with separate sizes for the top and the bottom. I went with the Triangle Bikini Top  (size Small) and the High-Rise Hipster Bottom (size Large).  I followed the swim collection size chart and the fit is just right on me, so you can be confident in the sizing chart.  I would’ve liked to pick more of a tankini style top .. (note to Everlane – please add a tankini!). I do feel pretty modest in this set though since the hipster bottoms have a lot of coverage.

Here’s my exact set on this lovely model …

 

Another reminder of Everlane’s mission statement (and why I find it such an easy brand to support as I get more environmentally conscious):

On the blog lately, new ways to wear joggers and the return of the bodysuit.
