The most beautiful summer is the conscious one
1. Introduction: Not just beachwear
When we think of women's swimwear , we think of the sea, the sun, and summer. But today, a swimsuit is much more than a seasonal item. It's a choice of style, identity, and... responsibility. If you're here, you're probably not satisfied with just any swimsuit, but are looking for something that makes you feel good —inside and out.
And we at Altramoda know it well: dressing sustainably means choosing consciously, without sacrificing style.
2. Why it's important to choose sustainable women's swimwear
Did you know that most swimwear on the market is made from new, highly polluting, and often untraceable synthetic materials? The swimwear industry contributes to the dispersion of microplastics and the accumulation of non-recyclable waste.
Sustainable women's swimwear instead:
- use recycled polyester and nylon (e.g. from bottles or fishing nets)
- drastically reduce CO₂ emissions
- they are often certified (GRS, OEKO-TEX®)
- they last over time, resist washing and sun
- they respect those who produce them
And the best part? They're beautiful. Really.
3. Women's one-piece swimsuits: timeless elegance
The women's one-piece swimsuit is more than just a classic: it's an icon of sophistication, an ally for those seeking a comfortable fit and an impeccable look even out of the water.
Perfect for all ages, it is ideal for:
- who loves swimming
- who wants to feel covered but feminine
- those looking for versatility (many models can be transformed into bodysuits!)
In the selection of women's one-piece swimsuits on Altramoda, you'll find minimal, colorful styles with thin or wide straps, designed to last season after season.
4. Women's bikinis and two-piece swimsuits: freedom, style, and comfort
The bikini is synonymous with freedom, sunshine, and carefree fun. Every woman should have the opportunity to wear the two-piece that best suits her.
Choose between:
- Classic or padded triangle
- Band with or without shoulder straps
- High-waisted briefs or culottes
The advantage of sustainable two-piece swimsuits? You can mix and match tops and bottoms of different sizes, choose unique combinations, and above all, rely on breathable, non-toxic, and sea-friendly fabrics.
5. Women's swimsuits with bandeau tops, shorts, thongs: every silhouette deserves its own
Every body is unique, and every desire deserves to be heard. Whether you're looking for maximum coverage or absolute freedom, the perfect swimsuit exists.
- Bandeau swimsuits highlight the shoulders and are perfect for tanning without leaving any marks.
- Swim shorts are comfortable, sporty and also ideal for walking or doing yoga on the beach
- The thongs are minimal but never banal: freedom of movement, zero constraints
Choose based on your style and what makes you feel good. Always.
6. Curvy Women's Swimwear: Inclusivity, Beauty, and Support
There's no right size for the beach. The curvy swimsuits selected by Altramoda are designed to enhance your figure and curves without constricting.
What do we offer?
- Supportive bras with underwire or wide band
