What You Wear to the Beach
Episode notes
Episode 1: What You Wear to the Beach
In this episode of Market Day, we explore how swimwear is evolving beyond a seasonal purchase into something more integrated with everyday life in San Diego.
Set at the La Jolla Open Aire Market, this episode looks at how local brands like Alohaw, Cali Girl Beachwear, and Ameyalli Swim reflect a broader shift in how people think about what they wear. Rather than focusing solely on style, these pieces are designed for movement throughout the day, personal expression, and long-term use.
From lifestyle-driven design to small-scale production and sustainable materials made from recycled ocean waste, the episode considers how swimwear can reflect larger values around identity, intention, and environmental awareness.
Ultimately, this episode asks a simple question: What does it mean to choose something not just because of how it looks—but because of how it fits into the way you live?
