As summer unfolds and the sun-kissed shores of the Hamptons beckon, well, do you know what that means, ladies?!
Yup, party time!
And when it comes to the Hamptons party attire, think effortlessly elegant, preppy looks with a sprinkle of coastal charm.
Whether you’re sipping rosé by the pool or having a carefree picnic under the sun, picking the right outfit is just part of the big fun!
In this post, I’ve gathered 18 real-life Hamptons party looks, including some must-have elements and style tips.
Enjoy and feel free to pin some of these looks for later reference! ( I update all my blog posts once every three weeks :p )
1. The All-White Hamptons party outfit
First things first, let’s talk about the classic all-white party look, shall we?
Seriously, nothing represents the Hamptons’ summer better than a crisp, all-white fit!
Just aesthetic.
That being said, if you want to introduce some layers to the all-white look – try mixing all shades of white from the cool-tone ivory to warm-tone cream white.
It’s the details that matter, my love.
When in doubt, just go for the espadrille wedges with the white dress – they work wonders.
If you want to embrace the vibe to the fullest, go for the lace-up version.
Besides looking sleek and refreshing, white is the ideal color for keeping cool under the sun.
So yes people, keep it sleek, keep it breezy.
2. Nautical Stripes
When it comes to the quintessential Hampton theme, nautical stripes are your best bet.
For an extra polished look, this striped tube dress with gold buttons gives off the best vibe.
For a slightly dressier look, an off-shoulder blue and white knit dress looks absolutely darling.
Does anyone know where this bag is from? I am obsessed.
Oh, and here’s a slightly controversial opinion to share—people tend to think vertical stripes make you look slimmer than horizontal stripes. I personally disagree.
I own both horizontal and vertical striped tops, and from what I see in the mirror, horizontal stripes definitely look more flattering.
I also did some research and found scientific proof to support my standpoint.

To pull off a busy print like stripes in a polished way, keep the rest of your outfit sleek and stick to solid hues.
3. Preppy look with wrapped cardigan
Another cute and simple look for a Hampton party—a lovely dress with a cardigan wrapped around!
I love how she pairs the dress with ribbon-adorned white flats—so elegant, so delicate!
And guess what? By matching the same hue from head to toe, it elongates your figure and makes you appear taller.
Sporty and cute!

4. Embrace gingham
Speaking of the perennial preppy classic, how could we possibly skip gingham?
Some people might think gingham looks childish, but definitely not when it’s a form-fitting blue gingham dress like this!
I personally love wearing refreshing prints like gingham—it’s such a mood booster!
Not gingham, but too cute not to include.
It somehow gives off a retro Americana vibe that perfectly fits a Hampton party.
5. The preppy co-ord set
When in doubt, go for a co-ord set.
This set from Tommy Hilfiger looks absolutely gorgeous.
It’s not from this season, so I believe it’s no longer available.
But this outfit is so good so I thought I’d share anyways!
6. Colorful resort dress
And of course, you NEED a cute, preppy and colorful resort dress for Hampton!
Trust me, it’s the perfect vibe – throw on something flowy in a bright coral or that gorgeous turquoise that makes your eyes pop.
You can literally wear it everywhere from a perfect high tea with your girlies to fancy sunset drinks where everyone’s trying to look casual but nobody actually is.
Just make sure it’s something comfy like linen so you’re not sweating to death but still look put-together. You know how Hampton gets!
And when it comes to one of my favorite summer dress brand, I’d say Lilly Pulitzer!
Just so preppy and figure flattering – and the pricing is actually quite reasonable as well <3
7. Make it aesthetic
For the fashion babes who wanna take some aesthetic shots, go for a headscarf just instantly level up the whole fit.
This is giving IT girl energy to the fullest – obsessed.
