Hamptons summer dressing is about so much more than where you physically are—it’s a state of mind. So whether or not you’re actually making your way out to Eastern Long Island between now and Labor Day, you can achieve the look if you want to. It entails a perfect balance of laid-back and put-together outfits that are indescribably chic, and most importantly, it's all in on the season at hand. That means linen, lace, sandals, dresses, and separates, all of which allude to a state of vacation, even on a Monday.
As I mentioned, it’s a way of dressing anyone can achieve, and today I’m here to prove it with 38 pieces that perfectly encapsulate the vibe, all under $100 and all from our beloved Nordstrom. From Topshop and Reformation finds to the new-to-me brand I’m kind of obsessing over and so much more, consider the below a best-of edit of Nordstrom’s many, many summer-ready options right now. Heard enough? Simply keep scrolling to get started and shop my picks.
