When you picture summer outfits, chances are you’re imagining some variation of East Coast summer style. The laid-back, slightly nautical-inspired vibe comes from some of the East Coast’s hottest summer spots, like the Hamptons, Nantucket or Cape Cod. It always comes across as effortlessly chic, relaxed and expensive-looking.
As someone from the East Coast, I can tell you that you don’t always need to invest in pricey designer items to fit into this style aesthetic. In fact, Amazon’s newest arrivals are full of excellent picks, including striped pants, gingham tanks, sporty chic dresses and preppy matching sets. Oh, and some of these fresh finds are priced as low as $10. Shop our favorites below to snag the stylish look before summer ends.
17 New Amazon Arrivals to Get East Coast Summer Style
