The Hampton Chic Edit: What We’re Wearing for the Last Days of Summer

There’s something about late summer that makes you want to hold onto it just a little longer.

Long lunches that somehow turn into dinner. A swimsuit still damp underneath your dress. Bare feet, oversized sunglasses, a really good tote, and absolutely nowhere you have to be.

That’s the feeling behind our Hampton Chic Edit.

Think classic East Coast summer, but in the Hermoza way: feminine, polished, comfortable, and never trying too hard. These are the pieces we’d pack for a long weekend by the water—and, more importantly, the ones we’d actually wear once we got there.

First, the swimsuit.

You know that swimsuit you put on in the morning and don’t think about again? That’s exactly what we want.

The Belted Marisa One-Piece in Powder Blue feels made for a Hamptons weekend. The soft blue is beautiful against sun-kissed skin, while the belted waist gives it that little extra something that makes a one-piece feel more like an outfit.

Throw on a pair of sunglasses and a pareo and you’re done. No overthinking required.

If you love something a little more romantic, the Magnolia One-Piece in Party on the Prairie is such a pretty option. The floral brings just enough personality while still feeling timeless—which is really the sweet spot when you want something you'll reach for summer after summer.

If you’re a two-piece girl…

We haven’t forgotten about you.

The Becca Tie Strap Bikini Top paired with the Vanessa Reversible High Waist Bottom is one of those combinations that feels feminine without feeling fussy.

And we love a high-waisted bottom for exactly the reason you think we do: you can actually move around, sit down, eat lunch, chase a child, walk the beach…and still feel comfortable.

Even better, Vanessa is reversible, so you’re essentially sneaking another look into your suitcase without taking up any extra room. We will always say yes to that.

The Ita Reversible Top is another favorite for the same reason. More ways to wear it, fewer things to pack.

Now throw something over it.

This might be our favorite part.

The Tiffany Midi Caftan in Party on the Prairie is the kind of cover-up that makes you look instantly put together—even when your hair is salty and you’ve been sitting by the pool all afternoon.

Wear it open over your swimsuit during the day, then add sandals and jewelry when everyone decides to go somewhere for an early dinner.

That is our favorite kind of resort wear: pieces that don't make you go back to the room and completely change.

For something a little more elevated, the Grace Maxi Dress in Powder Blue gives you that beautiful, breezy coastal feeling while still looking polished enough for lunch, cocktails, or dinner.

And yes, navy belongs in the Hamptons.

Always.

There is something about a beautiful navy swimsuit that just works with the whole East Coast summer mood.

The Natalie One-Piece in Midnight Navy is clean, classic, and incredibly easy to style. Add white linen, gold jewelry, a straw tote and you have basically mastered the entire Hampton Chic dress code.

The Lupe One-Piece in Midnight Navy gives you another take on the same idea: timeless color, beautiful silhouette, and a suit you can build an entire look around.

Because the best swimsuits aren't really just swimsuits anymore.

The piece we’d wear beyond the beach.

The Jaclyn Mini Dress in A Moment In Time is exactly the kind of dress we want in our suitcase.

You know the one—you put it on when you have no idea what everyone else is wearing and somehow it still works.

Lunch? Yes.

Walking through town? Yes.

Dinner outside? Add a little jewelry and absolutely.

And if you want something even easier, the Nora Pant in A Moment In Time gives you that relaxed resort look we love. Pair it with your swimsuit, a simple top, or an oversized button-down and suddenly you look like you planned the whole outfit.

You didn't.

We won't tell.

The Hampton Chic packing formula

If we were packing your bag for you, we'd keep it simple: one really good one-piece, one two-piece you can mix and match, a beautiful cover-up, an easy dress, a pair of resort pants, oversized sunglasses, flat sandals, and something woven.

That's it.

Because Hampton Chic isn't really about dressing up. It's about looking polished without looking like you spent an hour figuring out what to wear.

And that has always been very Hermoza.

See you by the water.

Besos,

Hermoza
