If summer style has a formal rich mom uniform, you will probably start with a linen dress. The relaxed fabric, simple silhouettes and quietly polished feel somehow make everything look super high-end – even if you throw it on and do a little before going to brunch, the farmer’s market or a beachside dinner. That’s the kind of effortless Hamptons power that fashionistas chase every single summer.
This year, the selection of linen clothes is very good. Think striped beach midis, flowy maxis and shirt dresses that look more expensive than they really are. Whether you lean more towards beachy, nautical or casual style, these 13 linen dresses capture a rich Hamptons look that’s as expensive as it sounds — and some start at just $10.
13 Most Expensive Hamptons Linen Dresses Rich Mom Style
1. What we like: Spaghetti straps and contrast trim give this linen dress a tailored look without being stiff. The flowy cut skims instead of clinging, making it perfect for humid summer days.
2. Coastal Classic: Soft ruffle sleeves, classic stripes and original pockets set this striped linen midi a notch above the average beach dress. Midi lengths often reach above the ankle, ensuring they are timeless and flattering.
3. Throw-and-Go: A round neck, loose drape and hidden pockets make this cotton linen dress a dress you grab when you’re not thinking. A sleeveless cut keeps it cool in August.
4. Chilling at the Beach: A sun-kissed straw bag, a bunch of bangles and this square neck midi is an effortless look for a pre-beach lunch. Linen fabric does the heavy lifting – without the heavy weight.
5. Halter Warrior: Halter necklines tend to snag or pull the neck, but the adjustable tie back on this halter maxi dress solves that. That means you can dial up the support without fighting the bra.
6. Figure-Flattering: The tie-waist on this V-neck linen dress shrinks where you want it to, and the 100% linen construction means it gets softer with each wash.
7. Deal Warning: Throw this $10 linen maxi in a beach bag without worrying about sunscreen stains. At this price, it’s a dress you really wear rather than save.
8. Quiet Comfort: The collar, button front and belt on this linen shirt give it a structured look, less than the quiet luxury labels that charge four figures.
9. Endlessly Polished: The 100% linen V-neck tank cut makes this sleeveless mini the kind of dress you’ll be reaching for every July for the next decade.
10. Very Good: Long sleeves and a scoop neck make this linen shirt a rare maxi dress that you can wear to a cool restaurant without freezing in the AC.
11. Navy Stripes: Blue and white stripes, short sleeves and a cinched waist give this striped maxi dress a nautical look that’s perfect for beach days and vacations.
12. Brunch Ready: Block heels, tiny earrings and this midi shirt dress is the perfect uniform for a Sunday dinner that turns into a 3pm wine party. Linen fabric is durable and comfortable to wear.
13. Madewell Must-Haves: The pale blue wash on this Madewell shirt makes it look like a vintage piece you’d find at a thrift store in Sag Harbor. With 100% linen and a relaxed cut, it’s a great everyday option.
