Newport has a way of sticking with you. Maybe it’s the sailboats gliding through the harbor, the historic homes lined up like a postcard, or the soft clink of glasses at a waterfront lunch. It’s the kind of place that turns a weekend into a memory. It literally makes you want to bottle up that feeling for the rest of the season.
That’s the spirit behind this summer edit. Think timeless stripes, cozy knits, and crisp cotton made for salt air and slow mornings on Bellevue Avenue. These pieces capture the charm of Newport. Think sun-bleached docks, breezy lunches at the Clarke Cooke House, and golden hour strolls along Ocean Drive. Whether you’re packing for a coastal weekend or just dressing the part, this collection carries the mood.
Here’s a clean, curated list of style staples that reflect that timeless Newport summer feel.
