Clothing Shopping in the Hamptons


This summer, or in fact any weekend, a place I would love to suggest to travel to is the Hamptons. This small area on the eastern end of Long Island is little known. If you are familiar with the Hamptons, you may have heard that it is a getaway area for celebrities. This is true, many celebrities do live out their and on some days, you can spot quite a number of them, whether it be on a street corner, in the post office, or in a club.You may have heard that many of the shops are very expensive to shop in. This is true, however there are many shops that have great, unique items for a very affordable price. There are some stores, like LF in Southampton and East Hampton that have excellent sales at the end of the summer and fall season. The clothes can range anywhere from 60-80% off the original price!
There is also a shop called Scoop in East Hampton. This store also has locations in NYC and in Nassau County. This store has trendy pieces from top designers for men, women, and children. They have an excellent selection of blue jeans from brands such as Citizens of Humanity and 7 for all Mankind. I would suggest checking their website, because many of their sales are sporadic throughout the year. The final store is a cute boutique called Back from Bali. The store is located in a town called Sag Harbor, about ten minutes from East Hampton. They offer a wide selection of affordable shirts, pants skirts. They also children's novelty toys, soaps and other bath products, shoes, incents, body oils, and other similar items. The soaps are all created locally and smell terrific. The scents include lemon, orange, and nectarine! This store also sells penny candy! Other popular shops in the Hamptons include: Ralph Lauren, Rugby, Calypso, and J Crew.
If you are interested in purchasing "Hamptons" apparel, there are various shops you can visit, depending on which town you would like the label to be. For example, if you want a t-shirt that says "Sag Harbor" on it you can visit the variety store or a shop called Kites of the Harbor. There are also various shops in East Hampton and Southampton on Main Street that sell such apparel.
