Founded in devotion to a ratty old T-shirt, a classic ’69 VW bus and a quirky group of friends who think life should be more playful than stressful, Marine Layer is a clothing boutique for those who know how to chill. The super-soft tees certainly take the edge off dressing. The brand created twenty-five fabrics that mesh with its values: sustainable, eco-friendly and stylish in a beachy way. Searching for tees, shirts, pants, skirts, scarves, dresses, ponchos and more is not unlike beachcombing. Stores are countrywide, but you’ll find Connecticut’s at 135 Main St., Westport; marinelayer.com
