I’ve spent most of my summer galavanting along the east coast. Taking weekend trips to Nantucket, Montauk, South Hampton, and Sag Harbor every chance I got. This led me to have a pretty picturesque east coast summer if I do say so myself. While on my weekend journeys this summer I kept my fashion editor hat on, clocking trends everywhere I went. There we’re 6 that stand out from the other trends I saw this summer. Some are more predictable than others, but all are equally chic.
Keep scrolling to look at the 6 trends I saw all over the East Coast this summer.
Stripes on Stripes on Stripes
When you look up “summer east coast trends” the first thing you’ll find is a slew of striped pieces. I for one always keep a striped sweater in my bag for the Hamptons.
Sea Inspired Jewelry
Nothing says “beach vacation” like under the sea inspired jewelry. I wore this jenny bird pendant to a dinner in East Hampton and it totally elevated my outfit.
Black + White Looks
Our editor Kristen Nichols just got back from Nantucket and wore this stunning black and white look for summer. I had to save it to recreate.
Babaton
Vault Poplin Dress
White Swim
The summer hue that is just screaming to be worn on a Nantucket beach day. I opted for several white swimsuits to wear all along the East coast this summer.
Monday Swimwear
St. Barth’s One Piece – True White
Everything Eyelet
It doesn’t get more New England Summer than pretty eyelet pieces. From dresses, to matching sets, to shorts, the more eyelet the better.
