Sugar & Cloth x Olivia + Ocean: A Collection for Every Body

Our collaboration with Olivia + Ocean goes beyond creating beautiful swimsuits; it’s about aligning with a brand that champions comfort, confidence, and community. Olivia + Ocean stands out for its commitment to being family-owned, Momma-oriented, and passionately body-positive. Every swimsuit is proudly American-made, ensuring meticulous craftsmanship and ethical production standards.

Design Inspiration and the Creative Process

The vision for this collection was to merge Sugar & Cloth’s playful, vibrant aesthetic with Olivia + Ocean’s unparalleled commitment to fit and quality. The result is a stunning array of four distinct styles, each available in a palette of coordinating colors that beautifully complement one another. Our aim was to create versatile pieces that allow for both identical mommy-and-me pairings and delightful mix-and-match combinations, giving every family the freedom to express their unique style. From whimsical confetti prints to timeless stripes and bold color blocks, each design was conceptualized to evoke joy, confidence, and a sense of effortless summer fun. The fabrics chosen are of the highest quality, ensuring durability and comfort whether you’re building sandcastles or lounging poolside.

Find Your Perfect Fit: Sizing and Style Tips

Personal Sizing Insights

When selecting your size, consider these personal experiences for guidance. For the bikini, I’m currently wearing a size large in both the top and bottom to comfortably accommodate my 17-week pregnancy bump, allowing ample room for growth. Normally, I would opt for a medium in both pieces, as I typically wear a size 8. For the one-piece swimsuit, I chose an extra-large, whereas without a bump, I would typically wear a large. Both the bikini and one-piece styles offer full coverage bottoms, providing confidence and comfort. For my daughter, Gwen, who is 19 months old but consistently wears a 2T in everyday clothing, the 2T size in all the girls’ swimsuits provides a true-to-size and perfect fit.

I am absolutely enamored with the confetti girls one-piece Laguna swimsuit! The vibrant confetti print combined with the delicate pink ruffle detail is simply adorable. This was the very first suit I envisioned during the design process, and it has truly exceeded all my expectations, bringing that vision to life perfectly.

I was absolutely determined to have a matching Mom suit in the confetti print. There was much deliberation between making it a bikini or a one-piece, but ultimately, the ruffled bikini style won my heart. I adore that the “Fiji” mom color provides a sophisticated, darker base, which is incredibly flattering, yet still maintains that vibrant, fun summer feel. The ruffle detail on the bikini top is truly a standout feature – it’s adjustable, which is a rare and fantastic design element, making it my absolute dream top!

Instead of adapting the confetti print for a mom bod one-piece, we decided to feature it prominently in the Malibu girls one-piece. I absolutely adore how the ties turned out in the back – they add such a sweet and charming touch! And of course, Gwen’s adorable “chub” makes it even more irresistibly cute, truly embodying the joy of childhood.

Everyone appreciates a classic stripe, which served as the inspiration for this elegant striped mom one-piece. Its design not only offers timeless appeal but also beautifully complements the vibrant confetti print of the girls’ collection, allowing for sophisticated coordinated looks.

Every mom knows the invaluable benefit of having a matching rash guard to provide essential protection against the sun’s intense heat! This thoughtful addition to our collection ensures both style and safety for your little ones during their sunny adventures.

I confess, I’m an absolute sucker for a beautiful red and pink color combination, and if you add a ruffle to it, I’m completely sold! The color block mom bikini paired with the matching high-waisted girls bikini is beyond cute – it’s seriously charming! I also adore the delightful retro feel infused into this color combination for the mom bod one-piece, making it a truly timeless and stylish choice.

I’m unashamedly stocking up on these adorable suit sets in various sizes so that Gwen and I can continue to match for as many summers as possible – and honestly, can you blame me when they’re this cute and well-made?!
