Nothing screams east coast summer style more than anything lobster or fish themed. It may seem kitschy but there are a ton of stylish and chic options that you can add to your summer wardrobe to enjoy the trend. I rounded up my favorite picks from clothing, accessories and even pajamas!

East Coast Summer Style

J.Crew Sadie Beach Dress

The lobster print is so subtle on this so you hardly notice it. It’s such a chic scarf-like beach dress perfect for summer evenings.

Staud Port Tote

A great canvas tote to lug around whatever you need but I love that it’s not super deep. It’s wider rather than longer which is different from so many other tote shapes.

Baublebar Fish Out of Water Necklace

Turquoise is my favorite summer stone to wear. The added fish charm is the perfect summer accessory.

Tuckernuck Go Fish Crochet Pauline Top and Skirt

While they do show this set worn together, you can purchase each item separately if you feel you will wear one more than the other.

Mignonne Gavigan Josefina Earrings

These are a stunner!! So chic yet still whimsical.

Staud Tommy Beaded Bag Summer Lobster

Staud is known for their beaded bags. They have a themed one for just about everything so the lobster one is perfect for an east coast summer.

Staud Fish Flops

Very kitschy but I honestly love these! You wouldn’t even notice these are fish shaped until you take them off but still so quirky and fun.

Staud Cleo Fish Bag

Fish shaped bags are everywhere right now. This is one of my favorites that I’ve seen because of the structured shape with minimal details or hardware.

Printfresh Lobster Landing Pajamas

If you aren’t ready to wear lobster print in your day to day clothing, these pajamas are the perfect solution!

J.Crew Embroidered Lobster Tote Bag

A great price point. Easy to throw on with a cute tee and denim shorts for a trip to the farmer’s market.

By Adina Eden Sun Disc Fish Earrings

Fish shaped earrings are trending this summer but not all are styles I would wear. I love the red/blue/gold combination of these and think they would look great with a white sundress.

J.Crew Rollneck Sweater

This sweater has gone viral so many times over the fall/winter. It’s only natural they would make a summer lobster version!

J.Crew Factory Lobster Sweater

A bit less expensive than the J.Crew rollneck version but still has the same vibe.

I have always been a jeans lover. They are my most worn style of bottoms to wear so I have quite a large selection in my closet. I haven’t acquired them all recently but over the past 10+ years I like to add a new style each season. Even though I have a ton of jeans in my closet, there are a handful of styles that I reach for over and over. They fit the best, are easy to style and feel incredibly comfortable. I realize I haven’t done a post sharing my exact favorite pairs of jeans so I thought I would make a post that I can update over time if my selection of favorites change.

For reference, I am 5’4″ but have very short legs and a long torso. How that translates into fit details is I need a high waisted style but with a short inseam. If I can’t find a short enough inseam, I will cut my jeans to make them a better length. I am fine with an undone hem but if you are not, just know that many of these jeans in my list are way too long for me in their natural form. Another fit detail is I prefer a wide leg or straight leg fit as I find them to be the most classic and timeless. And for size reference, I wear a 25 in my jeans and all the styles in this post run TTS for me.

My Favorite Pairs of Jeans

GAP High Rise Stride Wide-Leg Jeans

I haven’t purchased any GAP denim in a long time but after this pair, I think I need to! Compared to all the other styles in this list, these are the least high waisted style and fit closer to a mid rise on me because I have a longer torso. If you have a shorter torso, these will fit like a true high waisted jean. I love that there are various lengths to choose from and went with the petite option. These are stretchy and comfortable with a subtle wide leg fit. And the price point is very affordable especially if you can snag them on sale!

Grlfrnd Sara High Rise Straight Jeans

I call these my trouser jeans because they have a perfectly straight leg fit that gives the effect of a trouser. Once again they run long so I cut off a ton at the bottom and really prefer the frayed edge. These are a great classic style jean and one that will look timeless in your closet. This pair fits much slimmer throughout the hips so I still took my regular size but it definitely is tighter than some of the other washes. But because of this, they don’t stretch out as much and hold their shape really well.

Paige Anessa Jeans

I already own a pair of cropped Paige Anessa jeans that I’ve been wearing for the past few years because the fit is perfection. This pair is full length so I did have to cut them but the fit is still perfection. High waisted, wide leg but not too wide and there is amazing stretch to this particular pair. I have the Duke of York wash which is out of stock but there are a ton of other similar washes to choose from.

Aritzia Denim Forum Arlo Jeans

I have never tried any jeans from Aritzia before but the first pair I did became one of favorite styles of all time. This style is a simple high-waisted straight leg shape that fits like a dream. The length is perfect especially as someone who always has to get their jeans hemmed – no hemming was required with these.

Grlfrnd Brooklyn High Rise Jeans

The Brooklyn style by Grlfrnd tends to vary between wide leg and wider straight leg. I own this style in many washes as it is one of my all time favorite fits. All of the washes run VERY long so I had to cut off almost 4-5  inches on these so if you are tall, these will be perfect.

DL1961 Karmine Refined Wide Leg High Rise Jeans

Finding the right pair of white jeans is always a struggle so when I do, I have to share!! The white on these is perfect and not transparent which is always a challenge. The fit is a slimmer wide leg that looks classic and timeless.
