While the vast majority of bathing suits out there are synthetic (and therefore shed microplastics into the water as you swim), this one from eco brand Natasha Tonic is made from microfiber-free materials like hemp and cotton. Its natural fibers mean you can feel good about wearing it into the pool or ocean, and its supportive design means it can double as an athleisure top. If a swim-trunk wearer in your life is looking for a sustainable suit, too, check out these wool board shorts from Outerknown.
