I Love The Seaside

I Love The Seaside at Behind The Pines Amsterdam

I Love The Seaside at Behind The Pines Amsterdam is a collection for coastal travel, surf trips and everyday wear with a technical edge. It brings together relaxed pieces that work for the road, the beach and city use, with a focus on durable fabrics, easy layering and a clean fit. If you are building a kit for weekend escapes or longer trips along the coast, this is a practical place to start.

Coastal clothing and travel essentials with a purpose

The strength of I Love The Seaside lies in how wearable it is. These pieces are not built to look good only on holiday. They are made to move between changing weather, long days outside and the daily pace of Amsterdam. Expect lightweight layers, warm mid layers, weather-ready outerwear and accessories that pack well. For a versatile base, it pairs naturally with our streetwear, outdoor and surf collections.

Materials that work on the road

Travel clothing needs to handle repeated wear, quick changes in weather and limited packing space. In this collection you will often find breathable cotton, recycled fibres, responsible wool blends and functional synthetics. These materials are chosen for comfort, easy care and reliable performance. If you are comparing layers for colder mornings and milder afternoons, our layering guide is a useful place to start.

Fit and function

The fit is usually relaxed but considered. That matters when you want room for movement without ending up in oversized pieces that feel sloppy. For travel, a good fit also means better layering and less bulk in your bag. Shirts, knits and jackets from this kind of collection should sit comfortably over tees or base layers, while still keeping a clean silhouette. For weather protection, look at our rainproof jackets and jackets if you need more structure.

How to choose the right pieces

Start with where you will actually wear the items. For city weekends and coastal walks, focus on breathable tops, a mid layer and a light outer layer. For surf trips, choose pieces that dry quickly, layer easily and fit over swimwear or technical base layers. If the trip includes colder conditions, add warmer pieces from our sweaters, hoodies and bodywarmers collections.

Footwear matters just as much. Coastal ground can be wet, uneven and sandy, so choose shoes that are comfortable for walking and easy to clean. Depending on the trip, that could mean something from our waterproof shoes, hiking shoes or sneakers selections.

Travel light, layer well

The best travel wardrobe is one that can do more than one job. A good overshirt can work as a light jacket. A knit can act as a mid layer on the coast and a standalone piece in the city. Accessories should be compact and functional, not just decorative. That is where items from our bags, accessories and caps & hats collections fit in well.

Made for coast, city and everything between

I Love The Seaside suits the way many of our customers move through the season. In Amsterdam, that often means a bike ride to the train, a weekend trip to the coast and the same jacket or bag being used in all three situations. The appeal is simple: useful clothing that feels calm, looks considered and does not need replacing every season.

If you are planning a longer road trip, combine these pieces with travel-ready items from our travel bags and duffel bags collections. For more packing and gear ideas, have a look at our Scotland road trip gear review.
