Reformation Finally Launched Swimwear, and the Collection Is Pure Elegance
Real Reformation fans will remember the brand's foray into swimwear back in 2019, but if you thought that small drop was good, prepare to be amazed by the full-fledged collection that arrived at both Ref and Shopbop this week. This time around, in addition to a larger selection of more elevated swimsuit styles—including both bikinis and maillots—the new swim curation from Reformation takes sustainability a step further.
Originally, the brand had made its swimwear out of Econyl, regenerated nylon made out of trash. But according to a press release, it wasn't sustainable enough for Reformation. So with this second chance, it's introduced a new, non-synthetic fabric called EVO by Fulgar, which is a renewable bio-based fiber that it used in conjunction with Econyl leftovers in order to combat waste.
In terms of aesthetics, Reformation went with an elegant, vintage look for its official swimwear debut, with a mix of solid colors, like Diana blue, burgundy, and olive green, and patterns, from polka dots to florals. There are high-waisted bottoms and skimpy, side-tie ones, and full-coverage one-pieces and cutout ones. Basically, the selection runs the gamut, but every suit has one thing in common: You'll want to buy it—immediately. With some styles already selling out on Reformation's website, I don't suggest dillydallying just because the weather isn't quite warm enough yet for a pool day.
Get ahead of swimsuit season by shopping Reformation's brand-new swimwear line, which ranges in price from $68 to $168 and comes in sizes XS to XL.
