Sustainable Swimwear by Understatement - And Why Econyl® Makes All the Difference

Discover how Understatement Swimwear turns discarded ocean waste into timeless, high-quality pieces using Econyl® — proving that sustainability and style can go hand in hand.

Swimwear That Looks Good — and Does Good
Looking for a swimsuit that’s not only flattering but also environmentally conscious? Understatement Swimwear has you covered. Our designs blend clean lines and comfort with a commitment to sustainability — without compromising on style. But what exactly makes our swimwear sustainable?

What Is Econyl — and Why Should You Care?
Econyl is a regenerated nylon yarn made from waste like discarded fishing nets, fabric scraps, and industrial plastic. Unlike basic recycling, Econyl is chemically restored to its original quality — meaning it’s just as strong and durable as virgin nylon, but with a much smaller footprint.

How Econyl Helps the Planet (and Your Closet)
By using Econyl, we significantly reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills or oceans. Even better: Econyl production cuts the global warming impact of traditional nylon by up to 80%. So when you wear Understatement Swimwear, you’re not just making a fashion statement — you’re part of the solution.

For Style-Driven Humans Who Care
We believe fashion should feel as good as it looks. That’s why our swimwear is made for women who want high-quality, timeless designs made responsibly. Whether you're lounging poolside or taking a dip in the sea, Understatement lets you look good, feel confident, and support a more circular, less wasteful future.

More Than Just a Bikini
At Understatement, sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s a standard. So the next time you're shopping for swimwear, choose a piece that’s part of the bigger picture. Because real style doesn’t cost the Earth.
