@olette.co is like founder Carolyn Compres-Diaz’s second child — and, in fact, the clothing brand’s name is one she had saved in case she had another daughter. (“But Olette is my baby too,” she says. 💕) It’s also Carolyn’s attempt at bridging her life in New York and her upbringing in the Dominican Republic. “Here in New York, I want to dress well, but I don't want to overdo it,” she says. “Caribbean style is more airy and free; it gives you that feeling of the beach and warm weather.” The combination shines through in oversize button-downs, breezy dresses and slouchy, high-waisted pants, all sustainably and ethically made with cotton, linen and accents like buttons made from coconuts! 🥥🌴
