Coastal Garden Style: How to Dress Like You Belong at the Beach Club

There’s a particular kind of fashion magic that happens when beachy ease meets garden-party elegance. It’s that coastal garden style—unfussy but refined, playful yet tailored. And if you’ve ever been to a Hamptons luncheon or a summer soirée in Scarsdale, you know exactly what we mean.

At the core of this aesthetic is effortless sophistication. Lightweight materials, whimsical prints, and timeless silhouettes are the cornerstones of your summer wardrobe if you want to look like you belong on the terrace of a private beach club.

The Annabelle Maxi Dress by Bell by Alicia Bell captures this perfectly. With its green and pink bird print and breezy drape, it moves beautifully with every step. Whether you're mingling under white tents or sipping a spritz by the water, it’s the dress that whispers elegance without shouting.

Not a dress girl? No problem. The Margo Maxi Skirt, in the same fresh print, gives you the freedom to mix and match. Pair it with a white linen button-down for a crisp garden look or a pastel knit tank for seaside brunches. Add espadrilles and a woven clutch, and you’re beach club ready.

Finish the look with low-maintenance accessories: gold hoops, a silk hair scarf, or oversized sunglasses. When in doubt, keep your palette soft—blushes, creams, seafoam, and sand tones.

This look works best when it doesn’t feel forced. It’s about dressing up without dressing up too much. So skip the stiff silhouettes and lean into movement, texture, and ease.

Whether you're heading to a beach wedding or simply want to bring the Hamptons vibe inland, these pieces will transport your look—and your mood.
