What better way to pay homage to our beautiful oceans than by enjoying a day at the beach decked out in sustainable clothes? While filling your suitcase, focus on natural fibers and avoid synthetic materials made from new plastics — a third of plastic ends up in the ocean that you're about to swim in!
From your sunnies down to your shoes, we can all make fashion choices that ensure lounging by the beach remains a treasured pastime for future generations.
