These 30 Chic Items Are the Essence of "Summer in the Hamptons" Style

Every year, New Yorkers patiently wait for the summer to arrive for a plethora of reasons. Dining outside in the city reopens, summer Fridays are back in session, days in the park become a part of everyone's weekly routine, and most exciting of all, Hamptons season arrives. All fall, winter, and spring long, New Yorkers wait patiently to escape far to the east to the land of hydrangeas, lobster rolls, and white linen pants to drink too much rosé and relax on the beach with friends. Luckily for me, I am going to be one of those New Yorkers this summer. As I have more Hamptons weekends on my calendar this summer than ever before, it looks like my manifesting has been working. 

Of course, the first thought that popped into my head once I had finalized my plans to head to the Hamptons was, What am I going to wear? I have to bring my A game. After all, summering in the Hamptons is not the time to drop the ball when it comes to outfits. I'm on a mission to have jaw-droppingly great looks. I want outfits that turn heads and prompt people to stop and ask, "Where did you get that?" With all of this in mind, I headed to Shopbop, Mango, and H&M on a mission for the best Hamptons-ready clothing that didn't break the bank, and I found 30 items that are exactly what I was looking for.
