A new collaboration between swimwear brand Solid & Striped and accessories designer Lele Sadoughi provides the perfect retro accent to your wardrobe.

It has been rumored that spring/summer fashions are simply not as versatile as fall/winter. But, particularly in always-sunny Palm Beach, spring/summer reigns supreme. There is something special about the bright colors and renewed sense of energy they bring along—their motifs are ones to be celebrated. And that’s exactly what we can expect from the collection between two powerhouses of style, Lele Sadoughi and Solid & Striped—a celebration of sunshine and good weather.
Sarah Landman, CEO of Solid & Striped, and Lisa “Lele” Sadoughi have actually been friends for awhile prior to the collaboration, testifying that through their friendship and respective brands, the new pieces came together quite naturally. “We both strive to design products that make women feel good. Further, when Lisa started designing visors and bucket hats (the best complement to our swim and resortwear), it truly felt like a natural fit,” says Landman. Sadoughi continues, “Both our brands celebrate a colorful and joyful spirit. In the past year, we have gone beyond headbands and jewelry, and Solid & Striped, known for its summer fashion, was the perfect brand to co-design a collaboration.”

Along with bucket hats and visors, the collection features Sadoughi’s iconic knot headbands, carryall totes, scrunchies and newly developed “swim” headbands (ones that can be worn in the water) outfitted in all of Solid & Striped’s spring 2021 prints and fabrics. Inspired a time period that has been ingrained in pop culture zeitgeist, the 1990s, the collaboration is full of ’90s motifs and trends. Think pink textured zebra, oversize gingham, pastel patterns and the like.
Sadoughi, who’s background includes J.Crew and Tory Burch prior to launching her eponymous brand, and Landman, who was named CEO of Solid & Striped in 2019, have developed a fruitful partnership. “Lisa has an exceptional understanding of what women want and has been able to evolve from a small jewelry brand into a widely recognizable and coveted complete accessory brand,” says Landman. “While she has continued to evolve into new categories within the accessory space, Solid & Striped has evolved into a leading leisure and vacation brand.” It seems the two entities were destined to collaborate.
When it comes to favorite pieces, Sadoughi opts for the head-to-toe matching look with the Solid & Striped gingham swimsuit, postcard pint cabana shirt and her brand’s matching sun visor and beach tote, while Landman loves the rainbow embroidered striped bucket hat and colorblock visor. Whatever you add to your cart—or snag from Solid & Stripe’s recently opened Rosemary Square location— this collection will complete your spring and summer pool- and beachside looks. 700 S.
