My Style On The Lamb: Hampton Bays Beach, NY
Every summer I venture homeward to one of my favorite coastal haunts – New York’s iconic Hamptons. With its pebbly beaches and shiny blue bay, it’s an idyllic retreat from the city. This year was no exception as I headed to eastern Long Island for a little R&R.
While my primary vacation goal is always relaxing on the beach with a cold beer in hand, it’s never without a little healthy dose of fitness. I don’t feel right if I don’t stretch and move my body, most recently into a series of yogic inversions from headstand to handstand. Turning myself upside down is as inebriating as alcohol, only much better for your belly. It strengthens your core muscles and improves digestion.
However, dressing for inversions is risky business. I want style and comfort, without the fear of a wardrobe malfunction. So this trip I recruited some tried and true beach sport favorites: a navy polka dot bikini top with adjustable ties at the neck and back and a pair of blue patterned athletic shorts with full coverage. Behold east coast prep meets beach sport chic.
Being sun sensitive, I paired my fitness fashions with a mesh “maritime surf” trucker hat, mirrored lilac aviator sunglasses, and a white gauze tunic top. Perfect for post practice.
