Our Story

Warm. Free. Unapologetically you.
Cálido por naturaleza.

CALI·DO is a lifestyle apparel brand inspired by warmth. The kind that comes from the sun, from culture, from how you move through the world. Our name comes from the Spanish word cálido, and it reflects the feeling we want our clothes to carry: ease, openness, and life.

Our pieces are made for days that don’t stay in one place. Days that move between workouts, city streets, and moments that feel like summer—even when they aren’t. CALI·DO is about dressing in a way that feels natural, not performative.

Born Between Sun and City

Nacido entre islas y asfalto.

CALI·DO was founded by a Dominican creative raised between Barahona and New York City. Two places, two rhythms. One teaches you to slow down and feel. The other teaches you to move fast and keep going.

For a long time, I felt caught in between. Eventually, I realized that space was home.

Our collections live there—where activewear, casual essentials, and beach pieces overlap. Designed for people who move through different worlds without needing to change who they are.

What We Make

Lo que vistes dice quién eres. Cómo lo usas, lo confirma.

We create a focused mix of:

  • Activewear that moves with you and feels good all day

  • Casual pieces that are easy, intentional, and lived-in

  • Beach and resort-inspired styles that bring the sun with you

We’re not here to chase trends. We make clothes you come back to—because they fit your life, not a moment.

Why We Exist

Para inspirar calidez.

CALI·DO exists to encourage freedom, self-expression, and connection. Not in theory—in everyday life. What you wear should support how you move, how you feel, and how you show up.

You don’t need palm trees to feel the sun.
No necesitas sol para sentir la calidez.

You bring the warmth. Tú la llevas contigo.

Welcome to CALI·DO.
Bienvenido al estilo de vida.
