The Best Eco-Friendly Swimwear - Colour Sorted for You






1. Teal Triangle Bikini - Anna Cohen
made in oregon / surplus fabric
The surplus fabric from this beautifully hued blue bikini actually comes from fabric used to make Olympic speed skater uniforms. Very cool indeed!
BTC Elements - $98

2. Aqua Blue Halter Swimsuit - Kelly B

made in usa / bamboo + organic cotton + spandex
Another beautiful blue that would flatter most girls. The halterneck provides a little bust definition and the back is equally pretty with a cool tie detail.
Fashion Conscience - £112.50

3. Blue Sirena Swimsuit - Machja
made in india (World Fair Trade Organisation)
organic cotton + lycra (5%)
A cute bandeau top and boy style bottoms for those with willowy and lanky frames. Again this top would look great with little denim cut off shorts.
Machja - 22 Euros

4. Lulu Bikini - Deux FM

made in canada / soy + recycled linen + organic cotton
Similar to the Mystique bikini, but this time in a dark 'Denim Rinse' colour.
Planet Threads - $60 (on sale)

5. Sky Mystique String Bikini - Deux FM
made in canada
surplus fabric (stretch jersey + rayon/spandex)
If you haven't yet found the right blue for you perhaps this soft sky blue string bikini will catch your eye. It would look especially fabulous on olive and dark skin.

Green Clothing Organic Cotton - $78







Yellow
Cut Out Swim Suit - Kelly B
made in usa
bamboo (65%) + organic cotton (27%) + spandex (8%)
A sunshine yellow one piece with edge! It has a removable neck strap and would look stunning for swimming and also with little shorts or a skirt for dashing about from pool to beach to cafe.
Nimli - $130

Fire Red Mystique String Bikini - Deux FM
made in canada
surplus fabric (stretch jersey + rayon/spandex)
Deux FM's little string bikinis feature heavily in today's best swimwear picks due to the extensive colour range and impressive eco credentials.
Add a bit more heat to whatever beach you're on by wearing this fire red bikini!
Econscious Market - $82








Chocolate Bikini - Machja
made in india (World Fair Trade Organisation) / organic cotton
I only found one truly eco swimsuit in a chocolate brown shade (thanks Machja). The shape of this suit will highlight curves well and the colour will be warmer and less harsh than black for those pale of skin, like moi.
Machja - 21 Euros or By Nature - £32






1. Nadia Ring Bikini - Kelly B
made in usa
bamboo (65%) + organic cotton (27%) + spandex (8%)
Time for some pretty pattens to inject a little fun and personality into your beach attire. This sweet Kelly B bikini has a youthful pink and yellow colour combination and removable neck tie with metal rings on either side of the bikini bottoms.
Nimli - $118 or Fashion Conscience - £97.50

2. Black and White Halter Bikini - Mociun

handmade nyc / organic cotton + soy + lycra
Mociun certainly have some divine swimwear pieces. There is another bikini similar to this on their website or you can opt for the one piece detailed below.
Mociun - $168 or
Devidoll - £120

3. Black and White One Piece Swimsuit - Mociun
handmade nyc / soy + organic cotton + spandex
I am loving this unusual print. Mociun's quirky one piece is perfect for sporty girls who still want a bit of glamour when they're doing laps of the pool or catching waves at the beach.
Beklina - $164 or Mociun - $168

4. Blue Zig Zag Swimsuit - Mociun
handmade in nyc / organic cotton lycra
This picture doesn't detail the print and style as much as I'd like (see better images at Devidoll) but I think this is another great pick for athletic girls or girls just looking for a sleek and stylish one piece swimsuit.
Devidoll - £70.40






White Ruffled Wrap Bikini - Kelly B
made in california / organic cotton + spandex
This little white bikini is girly and glam with its cute ruffled top. Would definitely look chic on any Cote d'Azur beach.
BTC Elements - $124

Cream Mystique String Bikini - Deux FM
made in canada
surplus fabric (stretch jersey + rayon/spandex)
Deux FM deliver again, this time with a cream coloured bikini. If you want to mix and match bikinis, why not pick up two Deux FM Mystiques and be the belle of the beach!
Green Clothing Organic Cotton - $78






1. Lady Tica One Piece - Eco Chic
made in miami / bamboo
There weren't many eco swimsuits to be found at Etsy but Eco Chic certainly made up for that. This Lady Tica suit offers a different cut for women wanting a low neckline and low cut legs. It has a lovely wrap tie at the back and is also available in gray.
Etsy - $112

2. Black Mystique String Bikini - Deux FM

surplus fabric (stretch jersey + rayon/spandex)
For any green girl that can work a black swimsuit, you'll probably want a basic black bikini with a great eco factor. Deux FM is the label du jour!

I can see why this Amanda swimsuit is a bestseller. It looks ultra flattering and features a removable tie and 'new faster drying fabric'. Love it!

Another great glamorous bikini, this time in black. Love the silver ring detail at the hips and top. Classic and classy.

Eco Chic thankfully do a bikini swimsuit too. This Punta is definitely a 'ready for Copacabana beach bikini' if ever I saw one. Also available in dark smoke gray.
