Meet the 2025 Winner

Elizabeth Brown won the 2025 Swoveralls Design Contest with two prints that are unmistakably her: Trash Pandas and Otter Romp. She dreamed them up during a hard, life-changing chapter and wore her Swoveralls through every step of recovery, pockets full and hands free. In her words, they are comfortable, ridiculous in the best possible way, they have actual pockets, and they make strangers happy. As she put it, that is a pretty good resume for a pair of pants. Her winning designs launch as a limited edition later this year.

Elizabeth has had a helluva year, and you can learn more and support her here.

Did you know? Elizabeth has over ONE HUNDRED PAIRS OF SWOVERALLS
