    Summer in the Hamptons of course comes with many fashion choices. When you absolutely must peel yourself off the beach and are forced to throw on some clothes, you got to make sure you're doing it right, guys. Here are some do's and don't's for not looking like a complete fool...

    2. Checkers: Now there is a fine line between plaid shirts and checkered ones.  Plaid is great.  Checkered is not.  Unless you're aspiring to look like a summer tablecloth, leave the checks at home!  If you lie down on the lawn for a minute, you might find someone start eating off of your chest.

    3.  Cowboy Hats: We're in the Hamptons, not Kentucky. Cowboys hats just don't leave much to be desired.  You look tacky and out of place.

    [via] Do you get the image these hats conjure up?

    Solution?  A cool straw hat!  Lifeguards rock 'em, so they have that whole beach vibe going for them.  Plus, they're fun and keep you cool.  I mean check out this guy, he's loving life!
