The Hamptons consist of the towns of Southampton and East Hampton and can be found in the South Fork on Long Island. Typically, the Hamptons are associated with the elite. This is where New York’s wealthiest people usually spend their vacations. Still, it’s not uncommon to find rich folks from all over the United States and even the world going there.
If you’re planning a trip to the East Side of Long Island, you need to dress to impress. Here’s what to wear during your visit to the Hamptons :
wear jewelry
When you visit the Hamptons, you’ll meet some of the wealthiest and most elite families in America. One of the things you’ll notice when you look at them is that they’re not flashy. In other words, they didn’t show their wealth. Wearing gold chains and jewelry will make you stand out for all the wrong reasons. However, you can still wear jewelry to complement your outfit. Wearing a birthstone necklace can be a great way to look stylish without coming across as arrogant. Birthstone necklaces look cool.
OCD and Khakis
A lot of guys you see in the Hamptons will be wearing OCBD (oxford button-down shirts) and khakis. Anyone who has been to the Hamptons will know it’s “Uniform”. Women there also sometimes wear khakis and OCD, although this is rare. It is far more common to find women dressed as if they are going to play tennis or in shorts and a navy blue jumper. However, whether you’re a man or a woman, wearing OCBD, khakis, and navy jumpers will stop you from standing out and help you blend in.
modern preppy
The way young people in the Hamptons dress can only be described as ” modern preppy .” This style isn’t as popular among today’s youth (who tend to lean more towards urban chic), but it’s the style you’ll find in the Hamptons. If you’re planning to visit, it’s a good idea to research the style so you can buy clothing that matches it. Double-breasted navy blazers with large gold buttons are common, as are white khakis and penny loafers. If you’re on a budget, you can buy these second-hand things online.
casual intelligence
The first thing you’ll notice when visiting the Hamptons is that everyone is “casually smart”. In other words, no one is trying too hard. Everyone is very relaxed. People wear suits without ties and loafers without socks. If you look too formal, then you will stand out. That said, the only time people dress formally is when they go out to eat. If you’re going to a dinner party, make sure you bring evening attire, such as a tuxedo or cocktail dress, with you.
The Hamptons are fun. If you’ve never been before, you might enjoy visiting. So that you don’t stand out or look like you don’t belong there, follow the instructions in this article. The more comfortable you are, the easier it will be to make friends and network.
