If June is the warm-up act, July is the headliner. The Hamptons are in full bloom -- beaches, boats, and rosé (preferably enjoyed in linen, à la our Coastal Dress, and by the water). The "hero" of the summer season, here are our tips for doing Independence Day right.

Stars, Stripes, & Fireworks

Stars Over Montauk | Friday, July 4
Montauk lights up the night with a spectacular fireworks show sponsored by the Montauk Chamber of Commerce. The celebration begins at 8PM on July 4th at Umbrella Beach. The best part? You can catch the show from nearly any beach or perch in Montauk. 

What We're Wearing: Ellie Sleeveless Mini Dress or the Playa Jumpsuit (layered with the Diana tee)

Sag Harbor Yacht Club Fireworks | Saturday, July 5 
Because of course our home base brings the drama. Best viewed from Long Wharf, Marine Park, or a friend’s boat. These are the most elegant bangs in town, and the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a new sundress from our latest launch.

What We're Wearing: Kelli Gauze Button Down & Thassos Pant

39th Annual Great Bonac Fireworks Show | Saturday, July 13
For over 30 years, the fireworks over Three Mile Harbor have lit up summer skies in East Hampton. For a front row seat, set-up shop at Maidstone Park or Sammy’s Beach...or take to the water and anchor in Three Mile Harbor for the ultimate view. The legendary Grucci family, fifth-generation fireworks artisans, is behind the magic.

What We're Wearing: Sol Mini Dress

A Classic Color Palette

In the summer, everyone looks good. Breathable fabrics, floaty silhouettes, and pieces that make you say, “Isn’t this the best time of year?” for the 400th time. If you need a wardrobe refresh and FAST, visit our Sag Harbor flagship or our Bridgehampton and  Amagansett stores. We'll have styling advice and the perfect Fourth-of-July-to-Farmers-Market capsule waiting for you. 

We're doing Independence differently with blush, white, and blue, because patriotism looks better in pink! Soft, feminine, and undeniably "summer", shop our Sol, Ellie, and Riviera dresses in blush. And the bestselling Beach Lane Cashmere Hoodie, spun from buttery soft cashmere, is a great layer for cool evenings.

Crisp, clean, and always chic, all-white is the unofficial uniform of summer. We adore the Cambria Eyelet collection, a suite of 3 100% cotton styles featuring all-over eyelet embroidery. Different, but equally cute and comfortable is a staple white tee like the Rosa or Chloe Slub (one can never own too many Chloes) paired with the Thassos Pant or Poppy Wide Leg Pant. If you own and love the Penny, Poppy's French Terry sister, trust us when we say this is a "necessary purchase."

Rosa V-Neck Tee & Thassos Pant

It's no secret we love blue. With this summer's collection, we introduced a brand new colorway, Arctic Blue, in core bestsellers like the Dune Crop Pant and Heidi Elbow Sleeve Sweatshirt. Chambray also came back to play in a coastal-inspired sleeveless dress and easy top + pant set.

Wishing all of our friends and customers a happy and safe Fourth of July. See you under the stars!
