Summer style is all about dressing down, getting comfortable, and enjoying the warm weather that seemed like a lifetime to wait for. I'm finally fighting off the darker hues and going for a much lighter tone... Which came just in time for last week's beach escape.

If you're following on Insta [@trendstyled], then you definitely caught my latest trip out of the city to the newly renovated Gurney's property in Montauk. If you've been out to Montauk before, then you know just how much fun it is but going mid-week is more of my kinda attitude. It's a lot more laid back, less crowded, and less pressure to drink til you drop. The pressure of style is still a big focus though.

Like any other beach spot, the colors stay on the lighter hues of browns, whites, and grays while the pattern of the locale is a no brainer - nautical stripes! I love any moment I get a chance to wear white denim but these wheat selvedge jeans from J. Crew are some of my summer favorites. No matter the beach occasion, they're the perfect base to start any outfit. Not to mention the perfect, almost white, introduction to lighter shades of jeans most guys are scared to sport. I paired them up with some not so basic slip-ons from Vince Camuto... who doesn't love a good tassel?! 😁

While this trip was short-lived, it's only the first beach escape of many. I'll be heading South - South Beach to be exact - for a fun project with the W South Beach tomorrow so make sure you're following along over on Instagram and the Snap for all the latest!
