What to Wear in the Hamptons — The Complete PP Wardrobe

What to wear in the Hamptons — Southampton, Sag Harbor, Montauk, and the Hamptons summer social wardrobe.

Pieter Petros July 2026 5 min read Destination

The Hamptons — Southampton, East Hampton, Bridgehampton, Sag Harbor, Montauk — is the summer social destination for New York's most prominent residents and visitors. The dress code that has evolved across the Hamptons summer social calendar is specific: relaxed but deliberately considered, outdoors but not casual, beach-adjacent but never only beach. Natural linen in the PP palette carries this register correctly.

Southampton and East Hampton. The estate communities of the traditional Hamptons — the summer homes, the tennis clubs, the charity galas, the farm stands and the boutiques of Main Street. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen shorts and leather loafers for the daytime social occasion; a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the evening. The Hamptons rewards considered natural fabric over fashionable synthetic alternatives.

“The Hamptons dress code has evolved over decades: relaxed but deliberately considered, outdoors but not casual, beach-adjacent but never only beach. Natural linen in the PP palette carries this register correctly.”

The beach clubs. Coopers Beach, Main Beach, the private beach clubs — white PP linen over natural swim shorts, leather sandals. The beach combination that transitions to the oceanfront lunch without adjustment.

Sag Harbor and Bridgehampton. The more considered, less obviously social quarters of the Hamptons — the galleries of Sag Harbor, the Rose family vineyard at Wolffer Estate, the farmers markets. A PP linen shirt in a warm earth tone or natural with linen shorts or trousers, leather shoes. The natural palette that belongs in the agricultural and creative Hamptons context.

Montauk. The easternmost and most relaxed quarter — the surf culture, the fishing village character that persists beneath the luxury additions. White PP linen over natural swim shorts, leather sandals. The most casual version of the Hamptons wardrobe.

For women in the Hamptons. A PP women's linen set in white or oyster for the daytime beach and social occasions; the Amelia dress shirt in a composed colourway for the evening. The Hamptons summer wardrobe for women rewards the same natural fabric commitment as the men's version.
