It’s that time of year where flags fly high and the Americana style goes into full gear. If you’re looking to bring a coastal spin to classic Americana style this summer look no further. This look is surprisingly easy to pull off and endlessly versatile. You can mix, match, and layer without overthinking it. Start with a foundation of crisp whites, soft reds, and nautical navy, and then just add timeless pieces that feel fresh but familiar. One standout? The iconic Ralph Lauren flag sweater. It’s preppy and looks just as good over a swimsuit as it does with denim.
For daytime, go with high-rise denim shorts, a chambray button-down, and canvas sneakers. For something breezier, try a blue and white striped dress with a woven straw tote and gold hoop earrings. A red scarf in your hair (this one is fabulous!), aviator sunglasses, or a classic baseball cap adds charm and just enough polish. Whether you’re heading to a beach bonfire, a weekend in Nantucket, or a backyard cookout, this easy coastal Americana look works across it all, and you can find nearly every piece at Tuckernut, L.L.Bean, or Ralph Lauren at Macy’s.
