1. What we like: Flared cap sleeves and a pale yellow hue give Dokotoo’s midi dress pure Nantucket vibes. The length runs from brunch to dinner.
2. More Preppy: The crisp collar and eye-catching color scheme elevate this t-shirt outfit from basic to country club. A simple synthetic dress that you will wear all summer long.
3. Eye Style: Wear this romantic eyelet dress to an outdoor wedding with woven sandals and gold hoops. It captures as much as three times the price.
4. Flower Girl: This delicate floral dress has that boutiquey feel you’d find on Newbury Street, minus the $300 price tag. Art-like prints read very loudly.

9. Zimmermann Vibes: Zimmermann blouses run several hundred dollars, but PrettyGarden’s frilly cap-sleeve top has the same dreamy silhouette for just $20.
10. The Best: Short puff sleeves and a button front give this striped shirt a Hamptons-meets-Hermès look. Classic lines work with any bottoms.
11. Silky Satin: If you want to look socialite-rich, a satin blouse with long sleeves is the answer. This one has the drape you would expect at 10 times the price.
12. Royal Vibes: Kate Middleton she wears blouses with ties, so naturally, we’re snapping up this short-sleeved blouse that gives her a regal polish. It gives you an instant clean look, but won’t leave you sweating in the heat.

16. Boho Twist: This boho-meets-preppy floral midi skirt was probably made this morning at the farmer’s market. A curved hemline adds dimension that flat cuts can’t match.
17. MVP of Clothing: The linen-blend fabric ensures that these basic black pants are cool on days when other options feel suffocating. Under $10 makes them an obvious addition.
New England-Style Shoes
