I've spent enough summers out east to know exactly where to go, what to skip and what to wear when I get there. This summer we shot our collection in the Hamptons with Hannah Porter (@hannahlovey) and she styled our best-selling dresses in a way that honestly made me want to rewear every single one. Here's my guide, location by location:
What to Wear to Sunset Beach on Shelter Island, The Gili Dress in Light Blue Gingham
Shelter Island is worth the ferry. It always is. Sunset Beach is one of those places that feels a little removed from everything, in the best way. If you're planning a Shelter Island day trip this summer, the Gili Dress in Light Blue Gingham is exactly what to wear on the ferry over and keep on all day. Soft, easy and made for that kind of unhurried summer.

What to Wear to the Milk Pail, The Mini Gili in Red Gingham
The Milk Pail in Water Mill is always my first stop. The frozen coffee and lemon cookies are non-negotiable. I don't make the rules. It's casual, a little rustic and has the best snacks. I love the Mini Gili in Red Gingham here. It's playful without being overdressed and the red pops so well against the produce and flowers.

What to Wear to Jacks Stir Brew Coffee, The Gili Dress in Navy Gingham
Jack's is where I get my coffee when I'm out east. The Gili Dress in Navy Gingham is my go-to for a slow Hamptons morning, classic, easy and the kind of outfit you can wear straight from coffee to the beach without thinking twice.

What to Wear to Balsam Farm Stand, The Mini Gili in White Eyelet
I've stopped at Balsam more times than I can count. The sunflowers are incredible in the summer and I always end up buying more than I planned. The Mini Gili in White Eyelet is perfect here. It's light and easy and it photographs beautifully in that open field setting.

What to Wear to Crow's Nest, The Mini Gili in Black Gingham
Crow's Nest in Montauk is one of those dinners that always runs late and nobody minds. Waterfront, relaxed, genuinely good food. I always want to look like I made an effort without actually making too much effort. The Mini Gili in Black Gingham gets that balance exactly right and is the perfect Montauk dinner outfit.

What to Wear to Duryea's Montauk, The Waverly Dress in White
If you're going to Montauk, you're going to Duryea's. Lobster rolls on the water, the best sunset views and tables that are somehow always full but always worth the wait. The Waverly Dress in White is what I reach for here every time. Simple, clean and it moves beautifully in the breeze off the water.

These are the places I keep going back to and these are the pieces I keep packing. If you're heading out east this summer, I hope this helps!
