Baggie Stretch-Recycled Nylon Swim Shorts

While California-based Patagonia encourages you to only buy what you need, the list of reasons to purchase its creations seems endless. Take the Baggie swim shorts, for example. First of all they’re crafted in recycled nylon; secondly, they’re detailed with a brand patch at the hem; and thirdly, the elasticated waistband and stretch-fabric means this pair will take you from beach-bod to post-brunch-bod. Oh, and it’s getting warmer. If that isn’t that justification enough, what is?

• 100% recycled nylon; lining 100% polyester

Patagonia started small, making tools for climbers. Now, it makes clothes for outdoor adventures from trail-running to skiing and uses its voice to campaign for the protection of nature. Patagonia itself has taken impressive steps to reduce its environmental impact and set a goal for complete carbon neutrality by 2025.
