Even in the early days of SEASIDE®, Robert and Daryl Davis, the town founders, believed in a community centered on the American Dream, creating a place that feels like coming home. The town still celebrates sunsets, traditions, fireworks, and that classic vintage Americana feeling.
For The Seaside Style 2026 Americana collection, we have created pieces that make you feel like you're sipping on a milkshake at Pickle’s after a day at the beach, maybe you’re strolling your dog through Central Square while the kids run freely through the Amphitheater. The goal of this collection was to make you think of a traditional American Summer, surrounded by a warm breeze, laughter, and community, in SEASIDE®.
Our 2026 Americana collection features timeless pieces reminiscent of vintage American culture, with each product produced in America and designed here in Seaside, Florida. This year’s Fourth of July Tee is designed and printed by our long-time local partner, Dallas Strickland. He has been collaborating with our Chief Creative Officer, Makenzie Carter, for over a decade to create graphics that you know and love.
This year’s Fourth of July Tee showcases a special 45th-anniversary design inspired by the streets, architecture, and memories that have shaped SEASIDE® since 1981. Our team felt inspired by past tees, featuring the townscape, Bud the Dachshund, and iconic street names. This artwork ties together the people, places, and traditions, and we hope it transports you back to a Summer in SEASIDE® each time you wear it.
New this year is our cropped Americana Tee and Tank top, showcasing intricate embroidery in their American flags, leaning towards the classic red, white, and blue in darker shades to preserve the vintage feel, perfect to be paired with the high-waisted shorts, chunky sunglasses, and accessories to complete the classic Americana look.
Accessories are an extremely important part of this look, such as our limited edition red, white, and blue Enewton collection that celebrates America’s 250th anniversary, and our totes, handwoven from natural palm leaf straw, embroidered with an American flag.
To complete the American look, we brought back a top-selling favorite: our Harding Lane needlepoint baseball hats, featuring a needlepoint flag on the front and SEASIDE® on the back, perfectly capturing the desire for simplicity and a traditional look.
Vintage Americana fashion draws from a nostalgic view of American culture, a yearning for a simpler time. Each piece in this collection can be brought together to create a look that represents this mindset and was designed to remind the wearer of a classic SEASIDE® Summer.
To us, this is not just an aesthetic; it reflects our love for tradition and a life that allows us to slow down and appreciate the little things. For our 45th anniversary, we would like to do just that, take a moment to enjoy the day and show our love for SEASIDE® American tradition. This ideology shines through what we have created for our SEASIDE® Americana collection, combining that vintage American feel with our classic coastal fashion.
