AVENTURIST BEACHING IT
IN THE SWIM
GET SUMMER-READY IN SWIMWEAR BY MIAMI-BASED BRANDS THAT KEEP SUSTAINABILITY AT THE CORE OF THEIR ETHOS
Le Club
CABANA LIFE
With roots dug deep in the rhythm of Miami, men’s and children’s swimwear label Le Club was created with the conviction that the perfect shorts can (and should) exist. Its latest capsule collection is a catchy collab with architect William Lane, known for his vibrantly colored South Beach lifeguard stands. Committed to sustainability, Le Club’s entire collection is manufactured from polyester sourced from recycled plastic bottles. “We set out to create a capsule collection that not only encapsulated Miami’s spirit but also brought awareness to the global plastic waste issue that we face,” says Billy Little, Le Club’s VP of operations and design.

Sunseeking, but make it fashion: the Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood has partnered with fashion giant Trina Turk to create four custom cabanas bedecked in the brand’s poppy prints and patterns. Reserve a cabana and gather a group of friends (each cabana can house four people) for an Instaworthy day. Be sure to coordinate for maximum photo ops; cabanas come in varying colorways, including turquoise and orange, bright yellow and deep purple, and shades of blue. Throw back the draperies to show your crew off to the world—and enjoy the views of the ocean beyond the recently renovated resort’s pair of pools—or pull them closed for privacy.

A Miami-born swimwear brand seen on the likes of both Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, Rielli is the brainchild of founder, designer, and creative director Arielle Barit. Her ribbed bikinis and daringly cut one-pieces are “deeply inspired by vintage feels, romance, nature, and nostalgia,” Barit says. Harnessing her love of swimwear (and her training in international business), Barit launched Rielli in 2019. Since then, celebs, fitness gurus, and models aplenty have sported her suits. Still, Barit is committed to keeping Rielli “real.” She contracts with a small team of local women who work in the comfort of their own homes to handcraft each order—which arrives at your doorstep in 100 percent compostable packaging.
