Swimwear That’s A Little More… Considered

Committed to the community and the environment? These boardies are made for you.

Dreaming of sandy beaches and frothy waves? These Considered swim shorts will take you there.

Have peace of mind with brands like Yvon Chouinard's Patagonia, for their more mindful approach to business. Not only have they pledged 1% of profits to preserving the environment since 1985, but they're a certified B Corporation, meaning they have an explicit environmental mission which benefits their staff, the community and the environment. Find these saturated boardies complete with generous stretch (and more) with the 'Community Engagement' Considered tag on site.

Brands like Outerknown, Quiksilver and The Rocks Push help make your summer lighter on the environment. Some of their aquatic trunks are made with lower-impact materials like recycled polyester and nylon (yep, Quiksilver uses recycled plastic bottles for theirs!). Plus, they’re easy-on-the-eye, dry quickly and feel great. Another progressive label is Afends, with these boardies made from naturally derived fabrics: 55% hemp and 45% tencel, which have a lower environmental footprint compared to conventional alternatives.

Choose a pair you love & rotate for summers to come.
