Packing for Nantucket in the summer means finding that easy balance between refined and relaxed. The island’s style is unfussy but polished—natural fibers, coastal palettes, and silhouettes that work just as well for a seaside lunch as they do for a late-afternoon walk to the lighthouse. While the weather is generally warm, ocean breezes and cool evenings mean layers still matter.
In this seasonal style guide, you’ll find outfit ideas that feel true to the island’s rhythm: linen sets, easy sundresses, practical sandals, and lightweight outerwear you can toss on after sunset. Whether you’re planning a weeklong stay or just a weekend escape, these pieces are designed for days that move slowly—and for a destination where thoughtful style never tries too hard.
