Packing for a Hamptons Weekend: The 7 Essentials Our Closet Swears By
A Hamptons weekend calls for more than just a change of scenery—it calls for a carefully curated travel wardrobe that reflects the ease and elegance of coastal living. Whether you’re hopping on the Jitney or pulling into a Southampton driveway, arriving with effortless style is part of the experience.
So, what do you pack for 72 hours of clambakes, beach strolls, farm stands, and cocktail parties? Here are the seven pieces our closets swear by:
1. Annabelle Maxi Dress by Bell by Alicia Bell
Nothing says laid-back luxury like a floral maxi dress. The Annabelle is perfect for everything from late lunches in East Hampton to barefoot beach photos at golden hour. Lightweight, wrinkle-friendly, and eye-catching, this is your one-and-done hero piece.
2. Strap-Its Bra with Interchangeable Straps
Because packing a full lineup of bras is unrealistic. Strap-Its delivers comfort and style with straps you can switch based on your outfit—silver chain for glam, denim for casual daywear. Looks great under tank tops or breezy cover-ups.
3. Margo Maxi Skirt in Green Pink Bird Print
We love a piece that multitasks. Pair this with a white bikini top and open button-down for the beach, or dress it up with a knit tank and leather slides for dinner at Crow's Nest.
4. Lightweight Knit Pullover
Throw this over your shoulders or layer it for breezy evenings. Choose a neutral like ivory or taupe so it pairs with everything.
5. Raffia Tote Bag
A Hamptons essential. Big enough for sunscreen, a paperback, and your farmer’s market haul. Bonus points if it has leather handles and an interior zip pouch.
6. Slide Sandals
Flat, chic, and slip-on—ideal for everything from boat rides to boutique shopping. We recommend one neutral pair and one fun color pop.
7. Oversized Sunglasses
Style and sun protection rolled into one. Go bold with tortoise shell or stick with minimalist black frames.
With these seven pieces in your weekender, you’re ready for just about anything the Hamptons throws your way—from oyster tastings to impromptu tennis matches. Keep it chic, light, and versatile.
