The Universally Flattering, Sustainable Swimsuit You Need This Summer

The Bora...

... one-piece from Reformation has been my favorite summer essential on my trip to Austin over Spring Break. The color and shape is universal for any skin color, body type, or age. Red — flattering on all skin tones. A high-cut one-piece. How much more classic can it get?

I've definitely over-worn this over the past couple of days, but with the knowledge that the Bora saves 70 gallons of water compared to the industry standard of a one-piece, I justify my obsession. 

See below for some ever-so-realistic places to show off the Bora Swimsuit:

1. at a natural pool

TIP: Throw on some shorts or jeans to turn the one-piece into a bodysuit.

2. Lifeguarding

Channel some major Baywatch vibes.
No, I can't swim (very well).

3. Paddleboarding

Pairs well with: a life-jacket for an added layer (I'm kidding). As you can see on the right, this lake was not the cleanest. Was disheartened to see Dorito bags and water bottles in the lake where turtles, ducks, and geese lived.
