One of the many benefits of living in the greatest city in the world \u2014 New York, obviously \u2014 is its proximity to one of the most traveled-to<\/a> summer vacation destinations: The Hamptons<\/a>. Go a little bit further East until you reach The End, and you\u2019ll find yourself in a little beach town called Montauk \u2014 ever heard of it? According to the New York Heritage Collection<\/a>, the fishing town first became a popular summer escape for city dwellers in 1895, when the Long Island Rail Road extended its tracks to the area. Over the years, Montauk became a go-to for New York families, thanks to its quiet, laid-back culture that offers Manhattanites a break from a life of concrete and fast-paced hustling.<\/p>\n

Now, ask any local or lifelong New Yorker, and they\u2019ll tell you just how much the town has evolved. With flashy new boutiques (The Row, Chanel, and Loewe have all opened storefronts out East over the last few seasons) and buzzy restaurants (like Alba Spiaggia at Montauk Yacht Club<\/a> and Barlume Beach from LDV Hospitality) opening left and right, the once IYKYK spot has quickly become a luxury-filled top-tier stay for the glitterati. Fashion brands have also been hosting more and more pop-ups and events in the area, including Pandora<\/a>, which celebrated the launch of its new Wonders collection with a splashy Ciara Miller-hosted pool party <\/a>at Montauk Beach House last week. <\/p>\n

Aside from raved-about hotel hotspots<\/a>, there\u2019s also plenty of fun nightlife \u2014\u00a0such as Montauk Project and The Montauket. But just because the town has changed a bit doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s no longer enjoyable for a casual getaway.<\/p>\n

As a born-and-raised New Yorker who grew up going out to Montauk with family in a very easygoing, low-key way, there\u2019s so much more to The End than the scene-y reputation it’s recently developed. My perfect Montauk day? Wake up, throw on denim shorts and a tank to head to Bird On A Roof (my favorite breakfast plate ever and the most incredible French Toast latt\u00e9) before hitting the beach for a few hours; a relaxed lunch at 668 The Gig Shack on the main road (hot take, they have the best lobster roll), lounging at the Sol\u00e9 East pool for a bit before dinner, then heading out for a night on the town with some friends (be prepared to hit a few spots over a few hours) \u2014 then do it all again the next day.<\/p>\n

Now the looming question: What do you wear for all of that? The secret is to embrace the beach town vibes. Don\u2019t overthink your looks \u2014 wear what feels comfortable to you and what best suits the agenda for your trip. But don\u2019t worry, there\u2019s plenty of ways to keep things fashionable while still maintaining that breezy, easy aesthetic. See all the outfit formulas I turn to during the summer below.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t go wrong with a billowy poncho-top-hybrid for the summer. I borrowed this beautiful printed Roberto Cavalli blouse from The NY Archive<\/a>, and it was absolutely perfect for the warm weekend. I particularly loved the giant pink butterfly across the front and the wing-like sleeves that made me feel like I was floating through the salty air. I took out the attached scarf detail and used it as a belt around my Levi\u2019s denim mini skirt, pairing it all with my many pieces of adorable Pandora jewelry, Dolce Vita black flip-flop heels, and Vogue Eyewear oval sunglasses.<\/p>\n
