Of all the summers this particular one has been special to me. A big reason was because after 4 years living in New York this summer was the first that really felt like a true East Coast summer. My family lives on the west coast and I often escape to Los Angeles during the summer; but this time around I spent basically all of July escaping the city for the Hamptons every weekend.
I wore striped sweaters, ate lobster rolls, and stayed at the beautiful Topping Rose House hotel (which has been one of my bucket list hotels for the longest time, and trust me the property is worth the hype) All of my Hamptons fantasies came true, and now that I’ve had my first true east coast summer I plan on making this an annual thing. While spending my weekends out east you can definitely see the shift from NYC-chic to Hamptons classic, and there were tons of trends I kept seeing over and over. From beach days at Gurneys to cocktails at Showfish, the same 5 trends kept popping up at every turn.
Keep scrolling to see the five chic trends that the Hamptons crowd is wearing on repeat.
When it comes to a classic New England-chic look you can really never go wrong with a white midi dress. The quiet luxury crowd really loves this one. This is also the perfect opportunity to show off statement accessories since this dress is simple yet still sophisticated. There’s nothing more summery and chic than a good white midi dress look.
When it comes to an all black outfit most of us tend to associate those looks with fall or winter but lately I’ve been seeing more and more black on black looks out east. There is nothing more NYC than an all Black outfit, so it makes sense that when packing for a Hamptons weekend tons of black pieces make their way into the suitcases of the stylish New Yorkers escaping the city for the weekend. I’m personally a huge fan of the dramatic all black look above, it looks so pretty with the background of the Hamptons.
I am declaring this the summer of statement earrings. From the teardrop Bottega Earrings that everyone can’t get enough of to the obsession with under-the-sea inspired jewelry every stylish person I know has started to grow their statement earring collection. I wore these seashell earrings out my first weekend in the hamptons this summer and received so many compliments.
I know everyone can’t stop obsessing about all things quiet luxury but bold maxi dresses we’re still on display everywhere in the Hamptons this summer. It’s something about the warm weather and days in the sun that just make you want to add a little bit of color to the mix. I’m personally a huge fan, I wear bold maxi dresses any chance I get.
Move over mini skirts and fitted skirts, voluminous A-line skirts are here to stay. I have been seeing skirts like these all over my Instagram feed and sure enough, the Hamptons crowd was also loving the trend. Fashion person and over all stylish New Yorker Cortne Bornilla wore this look to an intimate dinner out east and I can’t get enough of this look.
