Reformation Finally Launched Swimwear, and the Collection Is Pure Elegance

Real Reformation fans will remember the brand’s first 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 at Reformation is a step further when it comes to sustainability.

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, they’ve introduced a new, non-synthetic fabric called EVO by Fulgar, which is a renewable bio-based fiber that they 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, tie-side ones, and full-coverage one-pieces and cut-out 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 dilly-dallying 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.
