I Played Dress Up in Prada's New Boutique: Check Out the Looks I Still Fantasize About

Ask 10 fashion editors which pieces make up their dream summer wardrobe, and they'll all include at least one item from Prada. Whether it's a statement raffia tote bag or a pair of logo slides, the label's accessories are on everyone's wish list. But as Who What Wear editor Kristen Nichols will tell you, Prada's accessories are just the start, which is why I knew she'd jump at the chance to visit the brand new location in the Hamptons to try on all of her dreamy summer looks. .

"Located on the corner of Newtown Lane in East Hampton—the place for designer shopping—the new store is the perfect blend of cool minimalism and of beachy Hamptons style," Nichols explains. "The store's Americana-meets-Milan energy is fueled by green and white striped interiors, neon Prada signs and accessories galore." Keep scrolling to enter Nichols' dream day in the Hamptons for the store opening, which included dressing up in the iconic Italian brand's summer collection and a stop at Amber Waves, a non-profit farm where Prada hosted a booth chic lemonade and personalized floral bouquet activation.

"Prada is the ultimate take on cool, minimalist fashion, which fits perfectly with my fashion aesthetic. I've been eyeing this denim bralette since it came out, and it's even better in person if you can imagine. Finished with a Prada triangle pattern to the front, this is the exact piece I want in my Hamptons wardrobe. I styled it with matching white jeans and added a white raffia tote (a piece that has quickly established itself as a new cult classic) and bucket hat for a clean, monochromatic look."
