Timeless Sophistication

The overall fashion vibe? Elegance to the point of timelessness. From flowing, yet fitting fabrics, to tasteful color palettes, the women of Newport know how to dress.—Women's Wear Daily

Women’s Fashion

Fashion isn’t just about how great you look, it’s about how it makes you feel. Take that fashion leap and mix colors, patterns and textures you normally wouldn’t. Pair sequins and leather. A bathing suit and a silk kimono. Fur and embroidered floral fabrics. Don’t be afraid to set a new trend.

White linen jumpsuits and summer dresses with feminine frills give off perfect effortlessly-chic vibes for a day in Newport Beach. Nothing says shopping, brunch and mimosas like a sophisticated jumpsuit—breathable and breezy, with tailored lines that complement the lines of the body. You’ll stay on trend as you shop til you drop.

Nothing looks better on the backdrop of blue waves and sandy beaches than bright colors with bold patterns. Not only is this style perfectly Newport Beach, it’s instaperfect. Sip on some lemonade, rest those chunky heels and take that selfie. It’s worth it to indulge a little.

Style tip: Complete your look with a floppy hat and a pair of oversized shades. Add a colorful pop with a large bag that can double as a beach tote.

Texture

Newport locals add an extra dimension to their looks by mismatching pieces made of different textures, and elevating their beachside looks with accents like fringe, scalloping and patterns.—Women's Wear Daily

Swimwear

Each year when spring rolls around, women start making plans for the perfect beach body. But getting that beach chic look doesn’t need to involve lemon juice and cayenne or countless hours at the gym. Finding the right suit is all that’s required to be a sophisticated beach bum.

This navy and white striped suit is a perfect example. The design was crafted to flatter and slim, the pattern shaping the body to create the illusion of a smaller waist. Built in cups make sure that you are comfortable and secure—whether you are diving into the surf or perfecting your tan.

Style tip: Live those beach vibes by throwing on a pair of large shades and a silk robe.

Where to shop the look For shoes that beat the trends and provide quality, uniqueness and wearability, Piajeh is the place to shop.

Shoes

Nothing says sophistication like a pair of heels. Shoes are one of those pieces that can really make an outfit. These suede coral and blush heels are paired with a rose-gold metallic leather accent that makes them the perfect transition piece. They’ll pair well with a summer dress while you shop at Fashion Island, but also will give just the right amount of glitz and glam needed for your dinner plans.

Style tip: Pair these heels with a white crepe jumpsuit to highlight your all-natural tan. Getting that perfect summer glow isn’t easy—show it off.

Structured Class

Despite the warm, ideal temperatures, the fashionistas of Newport know the power of perfect tailoring and suiting, especially for professional nights out.—Women's Wear Daily

Where to shop the look Bonobos boasts better-fitting, better-looking men’s clothes while Faherty designs clothes with moments in mind to keep you well dressed for every adventure.


Men’s wear

It’s not all about the ladies! Light cotton, collared shirts with small, quirky prints are all the rage. Tucked into a pair of khakis, or untucked if you’re feeling breezy, and paired with a straw fedora on perfectly coiffed hair is the ideal outfit for relaxing on a yacht or strolling around Fashion Island.
