I'm Having an East Coast Summer—5 Trends I Spotted on My Trip to Nantucket
I'm having quite the East Coast summer. With trips to the Hamptons practically every weekend and a two-day excursion to Nantucket, it's safe to say I'm in my New England chic era. While on my latest trip to Nantucket, I took note of every stylish trend I saw and bookmarked some as inspiration for the rest of the summer.
Keep scrolling to see the five chic summer trends I spotted in Nantucket.
All-Linen Everything
Nothing says laid-back, summertime chic like linen. Whether I was heading to Cisco Brewery or walking around town, linen pieces were at every turn.
Overalls
I'm a little shocked, too, but there is something to this whole overall trend. I saw people wear them over T-shirts and swimwear while biking to the beach.
Pop of Powder Blue
Powder blue is having its moment this season. That perfect pastel blue just feels elevated and summery.
The More Gingham, the Better
Nothing says East Coast summer like gingham print. I spotted gingham dresses, shorts, and tops at almost every outing I went on.
Red Swimwear
This summer is all about a good red swimsuit. One-piece or bikini, dealer's choice.
