Seashore Styles Collection: Wearable Art Inspired by Coastal Life
There is something about the coast that makes us breathe a little deeper.
Perhaps it is the salty air, the openness of the horizon, the steady movement of the water, or the brightness of sunlight against sand. The ocean seems to soften the noise of everyday life, surrounding us with what can feel like a natural Faraday cage—a vast, grounding environment that helps us disconnect from the constant hum of screens, schedules, and stimulation.
Salt water has long been associated with healing and renewal. Floating in the ocean supports the body with natural buoyancy, while the movement of the water, mineral-rich salt, fresh air, and sunlight can create a deeply restorative sensory experience. It can feel cleansing, soothing, and rejuvenating, helping the body release tension and the mind settle into a slower rhythm.
Waves create their own cadence. The tide moves in and out without hurry. Wind carries the scent of salt and sea plants, while the horizon gives the eyes—and the mind—somewhere spacious to rest. Even the simplest moments feel more vivid: bare feet on warm sand, gulls circling overhead, and the cool edge of water reaching the shore.
life carries a rhythm of its own—relaxed but never still, familiar yet always changing. It invites us to slow down, return to our senses, and remember that we are part of something much larger than the demands of the day.
That spirit is at the heart of the Seashore Styles Collection.
This growing SingleTree Lane collection was created to capture the many moods of life near the water, from polished yacht club traditions and colorful regatta stripes to coral gardens, shells, octopuses, and the mysteries of the deep. Rather than defining coastal style through one predictable look, Seashore explores the shoreline, the harbor, and the underwater world through expressive prints, coordinated color stories, and comfortable wearable-art silhouettes.
Coastal Style Beyond Navy and White
Traditional coastal clothing often relies on a familiar combination of navy, white, anchors, and narrow stripes. Those elements can feel timeless, but the coast offers far more visual inspiration than a single nautical formula.
There are the soft colors of weathered boardwalks and white sand beaches. There are brightly painted boats, signal flags, lifeguard stations, seashells, coral reefs, sea plants, and the shifting blues of water at different depths. There are quiet mornings along the shore, busy marinas, tropical coves, dramatic storms, and entire ecosystems hidden beneath the surface.
The Seashore Styles Collection brings those varied influences together.
Some pieces feel polished and preppy. Others are whimsical, fantastical, or boldly graphic. Rugby stripes appear beside checkerboards, windowpane plaids, seashell sketches, reef illustrations, sailboats, and oversized colorblocking. The result is coastal fashion that feels recognizable without becoming conventional.
The Sail Away Coastal Collection
Within the larger Seashore Styles Collection, the Sail Away Coastal Collection explores the world above the water.
Its inspiration comes from regattas, yacht clubs, harbor towns, striped sails, marina flags, and the relaxed confidence of classic nautical dressing. Rugby stripes, seashells, sailboats, dots, checks, and mixed-pattern borders appear in shades of navy, cream, aqua, coral, green, pink, and ocean blue.
The familiar elements of coastal prep are present, but they are interpreted through SingleTree Lane’s layered approach to color and pattern.
A traditional stripe may become wider, brighter, or interrupted by contrasting trim. A sweatshirt may combine several related patterns instead of repeating one motif across the entire garment. Coordinating pants may echo the same palette without exactly matching the top.
Sail Away is polished, but it is not restrained. It is yacht club style with more color, more movement, and more personality.

The Coral Reef Seaside Collection
The Coral Reef Seaside Collection moves below the surface—and, of all the stories within the Seashore Styles Collection, this is the one that speaks to me most deeply.
This collection came from genuine personal fascination. I have always been drawn to the hidden world beneath the water: the creatures we rarely see, the shifting landscapes of the deep sea, and the mystery of what may be moving far below the reach of sunlight. The Kraken, the octopus, coral gardens, shells, starfish, sea plants, and unfamiliar deep-sea life all feed my imagination.
Octopuses especially fascinate me. They are intelligent, graceful, adaptable, and almost otherworldly. In the central Coral Reef Secret Society print, cream octopuses drift across a moody ocean-blue background among coral branches and other sea life, appearing almost as though they are gathering within a hidden underwater society with its own rituals, relationships, and secrets.
I also love moon jellies and make a point of visiting them whenever I have the opportunity to go to an aquarium. Their translucent bodies, slow movement, and quiet glow feel both peaceful and mysterious. They seem to belong to another realm entirely—a world that exists alongside ours but follows its own rhythm.
That is what fascinates me most about the deep sea. It is not simply the individual creatures, but everything that may be happening beyond our view. Entire ecosystems live in darkness. Unusual forms of life move through underwater canyons, reefs, and open water. There are behaviors, relationships, and environments we are still discovering. The ocean holds beauty, intelligence, danger, stillness, and mystery all at once.
Those ideas continue to shape the collection’s expanding visual language. Oversized colorblock checks, vertical coastal stripes, coral windowpane plaids, retro waves, geometric borders, and detailed under-the-sea artwork share a palette of coral orange, cream, slate blue, pale blue, and deep navy. Each print can stand alone, but together they create a layered underwater world.
Coral Reef has become the largest collection within the Seashore Styles Collection, and it is not finished yet. New pieces will continue to expand the story, including a fleece cardigan and quarter-zip designed to bring the collection’s deep-sea imagery and coordinating patterns into warmer, more substantial silhouettes.
More than a coastal clothing story, the Coral Reef Seaside Collection is an expression of curiosity. It is an invitation to look beneath the obvious, imagine what is hidden from view, and remain fascinated by the mysteries still waiting in the deep.

A Collection Built Around Coordinating Stories
One of the defining ideas behind the Seashore Styles Collection is that coordination does not have to mean exact matching.
Instead of placing one identical print on every piece, the collection develops families of related patterns. A statement sweatshirt may feature detailed artwork, while the coordinating pants use a simpler stripe, plaid, or colorblock drawn from the same colors.
This approach gives the wearer more freedom.
Someone who loves a complete print story can mix a patterned top with coordinating wide-leg pants. Someone who prefers a quieter outfit can pair one statement piece with denim, cream, navy, or another solid neutral. Pieces from the same subcollection work naturally together, while many can also be mixed across the broader Seashore Styles Collection.
The shared coastal inspiration connects them, but each piece retains its own identity.
The Role of Pattern Mixing
Pattern mixing is central to the SingleTree Lane design language. It is one of the clearest ways the brand expresses freedom, individuality, and the belief that clothing should tell a story rather than simply follow a formula.
Stripes may meet checks. Windowpane plaid may be framed by retro waves. Checkerboard cuffs may sit beside marine illustrations. Animal prints may collide with camouflage. Florals, geometrics, rugby stripes, harlequin blocks, and unexpected borders may all appear within the same design. Contrasting collars, cuffs, waistbands, hems, and sleeves add structure while creating another opportunity to introduce color and pattern.
Patchwork is part of that language too. Sometimes it is literal, with multiple prints pieced together into one visual story. Other times it is created through bands, panels, borders, and blocks that give the garment the feeling of something collected, layered, and assembled over time. There is a hobo-boho spirit in that approach: expressive, resourceful, a little rebellious, and completely uninterested in looking overly polished or predictable.
That is the hippie in me.
I have always loved the freedom of mixing things that are not supposed to go together. A floral can live beside camouflage. Leopard can meet plaid. A retro wave can frame an octopus print. A structured check can be interrupted by something organic, strange, or fantastical. The contrast is what gives the design energy.
These combinations are not random, even when they feel spontaneous.
Repeated colors help the eye move across the garment, while shifts in scale keep the patterns from feeling flat. A large central print may be balanced by smaller checks or narrow stripes. A busy patchwork may be grounded by a strong navy border. A quieter all-over pattern may be energized by a multicolor waistband, a checkerboard cuff, or an unexpected animal-print accent.
The goal is to create clothing that rewards a closer look.
From a distance, the colors and silhouette make an immediate impression. Up close, more details begin to appear: a hidden pattern, a contrasting edge, a small crest, a shift in scale, or a combination that should not work but somehow does.
SingleTree Lane is not about dressing quietly or disappearing into the background. It is about embracing the bright colors, the unrestrained energy, the hippie spirit, and the full personality within you.
Instead of dancing like nobody is watching, dress like you are the only person in the world.
Wear the pattern that excites you. Mix the prints that make you smile. Choose the color everyone else told you was too much. Let your clothing reflect the freedom, curiosity, humor, and imagination that make you who you are.
Comfort at the Heart of Wearable Art
Expression matters, but the clothing must also work in real life.
The Seashore Styles Collection includes relaxed unisex sweatshirts, short-sleeve cropped pullovers, and Eco-Poly wide-leg pants designed for movement and everyday comfort. The wide-leg pants feature elastic drawstring waistbands, hidden side-seam pockets, and smooth two-way stretch fabric with the substantial feel of thick athleticwear or swimsuit material.
These silhouettes make the collection adaptable, but the easy-care construction is just as important. The Eco-Poly pieces are machine washable and designed for women who do not have the time, energy, or desire to dry-clean, hand-wash, or treat everyday garments as though they belong behind glass.
That makes them especially practical for busy mothers, caregivers, business owners, travelers, and anyone whose clothing needs to keep up with a full life. Coordinated separates take much of the decision-making out of getting dressed. The colors and patterns already speak to one another, so creating an expressive outfit can be as simple as choosing a top and its coordinating pants.
These are garments you can genuinely live in. You can work in them, travel in them, lounge in them, nap in them, and even fall asleep without feeling trapped in stiff or delicate clothing. The Eco-Poly styles are substantial, stretchy, and comfortable enough to move through long days while still looking intentional.
The Eco-Poly pieces are also pool-safe and can handle an impulsive jump into the water, although repeated exposure to chlorine can damage the fabric and affect the colors over time. The fleece cardigans and quarter-zips are definite exceptions. Keep those out of the pool.
The pieces can be worn for travel days, waterfront outings, school runs, casual lunches, resort stays, creative events, relaxed weekends, or simply adding more color to an ordinary day. A statement sweatshirt can be styled with jeans and boots. Wide-leg pants can be paired with a simple tee, knit top, or coordinating pullover. A complete patterned set creates an expressive head-to-toe look without sacrificing ease.
Wearable art should not have to remain in the closet waiting for a special occasion.
It should be washable, wearable, comfortable, and ready to become part of the life you are already living.
Coastal Life as a State of Mind
You do not need to live beside the ocean to connect with coastal style.
The coast can represent freedom, openness, movement, discovery, and the possibility of reinvention. It may remind someone of childhood vacations, a favorite seaside town, mornings spent walking near the water, or a place they hope to visit someday. It may bring back the scent of salty air, the feel of warm sand beneath bare feet, gulls circling overhead, or the sound of waves creating a steady rhythm that seems to quiet everything else.
For others, the appeal may be less literal.
The horizon creates a sense of possibility. Tides remind us that life moves in cycles. Shells and coral reveal how much beauty can be created slowly over time. Salt water has long been associated with cleansing, renewal, and restoration, while the vastness of the ocean can feel grounding—almost like a natural Faraday cage that helps soften the constant noise, stimulation, and demands of everyday life.
The deep ocean adds another layer to that feeling. It reminds us that much of the world remains unknown. Beneath the surface are coral gardens, moon jellies, octopuses, strange creatures, and entire ecosystems moving through darkness beyond ordinary view. That hidden world invites curiosity. It asks us to look deeper, imagine more, and remain open to what we have not yet discovered.
That same spirit runs through the Seashore Styles Collection.
The collection is not simply about dressing for the beach. It is about carrying the energy of coastal life into everyday spaces. The yacht club stripes and harbor references of Sail Away reflect movement toward the horizon, while Coral Reef turns inward and downward, exploring mystery, imagination, and the secret life beneath the waves.
It is also about freedom of self-expression.
Coastal style does not have to mean quiet navy and white. It can include coral orange, sea-glass blue, checkerboards, patchwork, windowpane plaid, animal prints, camouflage, reef illustrations, and unexpected combinations that feel alive with personality. The collection invites you to embrace color, mix what is not supposed to match, and dress with the same freedom the ocean represents.
More than a destination, coastal life is a way of feeling: open, grounded, curious, unrestrained, and connected to something larger.
The Seashore Styles Collection brings that state of mind into clothing you can actually live in—easy-care pieces for travel, work, school runs, weekends, naps, creative outings, and spontaneous adventures. It is coastal energy made wearable, wherever you happen to be.
What Is at the Heart of the Seashore Styles Collection?
At the heart of the collection is a sense of freedom.
Freedom from the idea that coastal clothing must always be quiet, minimal, or traditional. Freedom to combine stripes with checks, nautical references with underwater fantasy, and polished silhouettes with playful artwork.
It is also about curiosity.
The Sail Away Coastal Collection looks toward the horizon, the boats, yacht clubs, regattas, and the harbor. The Coral Reef Seaside Collection looks beneath the water into coral gardens, octopus worlds, and the mysteries of the deep. The Rock Lobster Tidal Treasures Collection explores the colorful life found between those worlds, where lobsters, sea fans, coral, underwater gardens, and coastal stripes become playful treasures waiting to be discovered.
Together, these subcollections reflect different kinds of exploration: the desire to travel outward, the curiosity to look deeper, and the delight of discovering unexpected beauty along the shore and beneath the waves.
Most of all, the collection is about individuality.
Clothing can be practical and still communicate something meaningful. It can reveal humor, imagination, confidence, nostalgia, or a sense of adventure. It can help someone feel more visible rather than encouraging them to disappear into the background.
The Seashore Styles Collection invites you to wear the interesting thing.
Wear the octopus. Wear the lobster. Wear the rugby stripe. Mix coral checks with ocean-blue prints, underwater gardens with regatta stripes, or nautical tradition with something fantastical and unexpected. Choose the piece that reminds you of open water, warm sand, tidal treasures, or the mystery waiting below the waves.
A Growing Coastal World
The Seashore Styles Collection is designed to keep growing.
New subcollections, silhouettes, prints, and coordinated pieces can continue to explore the many interpretations of coastal life. Future designs may draw from additional shorelines, seaside architecture, marine creatures, tropical landscapes, weathered textures, resort traditions, or the changing colors of the sea.
The collection is not limited to one destination or one version of coastal style.
It can be polished or relaxed, nostalgic or modern, whimsical or refined. It can live at the yacht club, beneath the waves, along a white sand beach, or hundreds of miles inland.
Wherever it is worn, its purpose remains the same: to carry the color, freedom, movement, and mystery of the coast into everyday life.
The Seashore Styles Collection is an invitation to dress with curiosity, embrace expressive color, and take a little of the ocean with you wherever you go.
