Ace Hamptons Summer Style Ahead of Labor Day Weekend 2024

Written by on August 12, 2024

The Hamptons, as you may know, is a posh area of Long Island that is a summer haven for the fabulous and affluent. From Martha Stewart to Beyoncé, Sarah Jessica Parker to Madonna, the seasonal residents read like an IMDB page for a blockbuster hit. 

Sure, it is lovely, but mention Long Island in any other context and you may receive a more reserved reaction. Regardless, there’s so much to love about the Atlantic shores, with the sparkling green, cool waters and fine sand beaches (in contrast to the more picturesque yet far rockier beaches of the Italian Riviera.) Personally, I’ve mostly camped south at Fire Island, but I’ve wondered what one would wear should one receive an invite to a summer rental bash or upscale soirée.

Dressing for the Hamptons combines American coastal prep and quiet luxury. There is never a logo in sight, designer or otherwise. As soon as you leave the metro area, the black garb of city dwellers is shed and, as if by portal rather than bridge or tunnel, transformed into a linen set or floral frock.

So, if you’d like to dress for the Hamptons (like a celebrity or otherwise), scroll on for the best pieces to shop now. The vibe is infinitely more wearable — and, thanks to Labor Day sales, affordable — than you’d expect, and people may assume you’re from old money. Your secret is safe with me.
