When it comes to planning the perfect way to spend your days in the Hamptons, each summer GRAZIA USA brings you the best in dining, shopping, recreation, parties and more happening out East with GRAZIA Gazette: Hamptons. In the latest issue, we’re delivering everything you need to make the most of the summer season.

First, the most important topic — shopping. A slew of brands are opening their doors, including the return of the Chanel ephemeral boutique. After opening last year, the brand returned to its Hamptons location on Main Street offering the latest from the Coco Beach and Métiers d’art 2023/24 collections — perfect pieces for summer and beyond.

In other shopping news, Givenchy is planning a pop-up at Topping Rose House from July 1 through July 14 and Gucci is filling its Newtown Lane store with Hamptons-themed exclusives that can’t be missed.

If you want to break up your retail therapy, sign up for a workout from the area’s top trainers including Tracy Anderson, Isaac Boots and more. And for a cultural fix, learn more about the Hamptons institution, Guild Hall, which has been a destination for artistic expression and community for nearly 100 years.

Summer’s not slowing down, so it’s time to crank up the tunes (you can find the best playlist for days in the sun courtesy DJ Lanz) and kick back with the latest issue.
