Exploring Life & Business with Kristin Haushalter, M.D. of BelaSol Clothing

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristin Haushalter, M.D.

Hi Kristin, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
We believe the best ideas are born by the ocean, and that’s exactly how BelaSol was conceived. During a day of lounging by the water in the Florida Keys (there may have been prosecco involved), two friends struck upon an idea: to create a line of sun-protective clothing specifically designed for women who do not want to compromise on style.

These doctors were tired of settling for frumpy, unflattering sun-protective clothing that made them feel anything but beautiful and empowered. And so, BelaSol was created. Our mission is to design flattering yet functional, chic yet comfortable, and sexy yet sun-safe clothing. Combining cutting-edge design with advanced and sustainable fabrics offering the best protection against UV damage, we’re here to make sure you can enjoy the sun in style without worrying about its harmful rays.

No matter what your body type or where your adventures take you, make the most of every beautiful day with BelaSol. Remember, YOU are worth protecting!

We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has NOT been smooth.

We had to work very hard to find the best designers and team! We worked with some people who had different visions or timelines. But, we finally found an amazing design team at The Notch Project, here in Miami!

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I am a medical dermatologist who loves playing outside in the sun with my family and friends. I wanted to create a line of clothing that makes women feel beautiful while they protect their skin from sun damage. I was tired of frumpy, loose-fitting sun-protective clothing that looked like my husband’s fishing shirt!

I wanted to feel sexy while also doing something good for my body! At BelaSol Clothing, we focus on bold patterns and sexy designs. We also carry more swimwear that is meant to get wet as opposed to activewear. But, we do have long, elegant coverups that match any swimsuit and we have matching kids’ swimwear in production now!!!

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting?
NEVER give up! I was determined to create clothing like this for years. I finally found a partner who wanted to pursue this dream with me and we kept trying to find the right team!!!! It is paying off!!!
