The Hamptons is the place to be this summer. For native New Yorkers to East Coast families, places such as Southampton, East Hampton, Main Beach and Montauk become summer hotspots and are packed with tourists and locals alike. What makes The Hamptons so special is its chic and sophisticated nature, bringing with it a wide range of fashions and unique styles. From casual day dresses to evening gowns, the crowd in The Hamptons know how to dress and have certainly inspired this article which hones in on the classic and timeless elegance of summer garden party style.
Linen Styles For Outdoor Events
Linen styles epitomise garden party fashion. Providing a breathable yet timeless look that is perfect for events spent in the summer sun. The sophisticated fit and look of a simple linen dress or linen jumpsuit is enough to feel put together at even the most regal of garden parties. From cocktails in the garden at a big charity gala to watching friends play tennis in a local tournament, a classic linen style will not do you wrong. Paired with simple accessories and a wedge heel or block sandal for manoeuvring on grass, and of course a classic pair of sunglasses, your look will be complete.
Floral Midi Dresses
The ideal look for elegant garden parties, a floral midi dress is the perfect in-between option when a maxi dress is too formal but a mini dress may be considered too risqué. A popular choice for cocktail parties and afternoon social events, add a floral print and you’ll blend into the natural beauty of your surroundings. With additional detailing such as ruffled hems and shoulders, pleats or perhaps a waist belt, there are many ways in which to style a floral midi dress for any summer occasion.
Formal Maxi Dresses
Not all garden parties are casual, and some may require a more formal attire. Enter the maxi dress, perfect for an evening dinner party or gala in The Hamptons. Floor length dresses embrace timeless fashion with a touch of glamour that is sure to turn heads. Opt for a maxi dress in lightweight fabrics such as chiffon or silk, to stay comfortable and cool while dancing or socialising your way around the event. With endless colour options, prints and styles to choose from, there is a maxi dress suitable for every garden party occasion.
The Classic White Dress
A staple piece in any summer wardrobe, the classic white dress is a must-have for any garden party event. Whether it’s a simple cotton sundress or an elegant lace number, choosing a white dress will add that extra touch of sophistication to your look.
The Afterparty Dress
For those garden parties that go on into the night, you may prefer to opt for something a bit more party appropriate. For example a simple mini dress with floral detailing. A good example may be the Millie White Dress by NADINE MERABI, which perfectly encompasses both the daytime, floral detailing of a garden party dress, with the shorter hemline of an afterparty look. And with some additional sheer detailing the look can go from day to night with just a simple change of shoes or accessories.
