Inside Kyle Langan’s fun-filled, sun-soaked Los Angeles summer
These basics will elevate any wardrobe.
Say goodbye to mismatched socks. Say hi to looking sexy.
We’re always on the prowl for fashion that’s preppy, classic, but offers a little bit of edge to provide our readers with. And guess what? We found some! We’re super excited for a potential new menswear brand that blends laid back California style with East Coast tradition. Seersucker jackets? Pique outerwear with anchor lining? SIGN. US. UP. Teddy Hampton is the name of the brand that’s currently running a stellar Kickstarter campaign just itching to roll out full production. The campaign explains all about the vision of the company, the founder’s story, and the type of clothes men who like quality can expect. From hidden button collared shirts to stylish, yet comfortable cotton shorts (perfect for brunch or the beach), to shirts that are designed to match with each pair of shorts – which takes the guesswork out of matching – it’s perfect for stylish guys who want to look…
When we find brands that have actually been from the Hamptons to Hollywood, just like us, we’re stoked. Obviously it can be hard to find as not many people make the cross country journey, but when we do, we know they’re the real deal. And when they make killer boardshorts, well, that’s just an even bigger plus. Old Bull Lee, a Manhattan Beach-based retailer, has the swimwear and summerwear game locked down. Originally hailing from East Hampton, Founder Lee Johnson, created Old Bull Lee with the intention to create high quality boardshorts that reflect the rich history of the style (did you know boardshorts, in some form or another, have been around since the forties?!) and also give guys exceptional high quality garments that ooze the casual luxury that is the Hamptons to Hollywood mantra. At Hamptons to Hollywood, we’re huge fans of a well done boardshort – we’ve seen…
When springtime is budding, at Hamptons to Hollywood, we think green. Green leaves on the trees, luscious lawns in both the Hamptons and Los Angeles, and yes, even green apparel as well. For gentlemen, joggers are the perfect springtime trouser choice. Not only do they evoke the casual luxury Hamptons to Hollywood prides itself on, but they also show ever the slightest bit of ankle, almost acting as pregame for your legs before summer comes around. These green joggers styled by Founder, Kyle Langan, are ultra affordable (H&M) and also give us cheery warm vibes for the new season. Easy to move in, they are the perfect pant to wear on-the-go – either to run errands or to run to your friend’s house to plan your next summer getaway. Always busy, Kyle was running a few errands, with a Soupure Soup in hand, before heading off to an afternoon of…

We’re throwing shade in style this season. While it rarely rains in Southern California – save for today ironically, as I’m writing an editorial about sunglasses – these shades are a MUST HAVE to protect your eyeballs from harmful UV rays. Rainforest Sunglasses, recently featured in GQ, are not only a stylish eyewear option, but is also a company with philanthropic values. For each pair purchased, a portion of proceeds are donated to Rainforest Trust, a nonprofit conservation organization that helps to purchase, protect and safeguard tropical habitats to save endangered species by working with local organizations and communities throughout Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The spectacles are constructed from high-quality sustainable wood that offers a sturdy structure, polarized lenses, and amazingly flexible hinges so they won’t break as easily as that cheap pair of sunnies you picked up from your local drugstore. Another cool feature? The luxe lenses also…
How cool is this? I’m loving Jaspreet’s rendition of the below photo during a recent outfit photoshoot in Beverly Hills. She NAILED it. I was so impressed with her portfolio, I had to find out more about the girl behind the art. Here’s our little Q&A. Keep your eye on this lady; she has Hollywood in her sights. AND Jaspreet is available to commission illustrations. Contact her via her awesome Instagram (@jsodhiillustrations) Jeans: 21Men | Shoes: Vans | Sweater: | H&M Why did you want to become an illustrator? It sounds predictable or corny but I’ve always drawn. When I was four years old I loved to draw, paint etc. and from what was an activity any child does at school I continued this on throughout my life so far. I find drawing and illustration to be relaxing and an escape mechanism to which I can use whenever I’m feeling…
There’s a trend we’re spotting! It’s fall and that means warmer colors are abound – even if they’re merely paired with a couple of classics like Black and White. Throwing on a layer of camel or light brown is a great way to achieve an Autumnal look without the fuss. Plus, it’s a great way to showcase a seasonal statement piece (like a warm jacket or trendy button-up)over and over again – just change out the subtler outfit underneath. While he’s rocking more of a cool, Hollywood look, hers is a bit more Hamptons-prep, which just shows that this brown layering option is perfect for each coast. And, thanks to online savings guru, VoucherBin, special savings can be used for British retailer, Matalan, which has some great options for outerwear at affordable prices that you’ll love. Thanks to our style inspirations this week, Daniel & Maria. How will you be…
Fall is known as the season that could possibly be the most romantic. Chilled nighttime walks force you to cozy up close to your partner as you stride down the street, the beauty of the colored foliage makes you smile, and there’s a crispness that brings a new set of feelings. Dressing for fall is one of the best parts about the season too. Replaced by tank tops and flip flops are starchy new chinos and finely pressed shirts, perfect for a new school year or quarter at the office. However, because Hamptons to Hollywood never leans completely west or east, there’s still a way to incorporate the casual luxury of the warm weather we love for all our favorite fall fashion trends. Cuffing up the ankles of a new pair of slacks is the perfect compromise of business-meets-casual; fine lines and great fabric, yet isn’t taken too seriously. A…
Maybe it’s the Santa Ana winds, maybe it has to do with sun positioning, or maybe it’s because Los Angeles is technically located in a desert – it is gonna be a HOT weekend. With temperatures rising into the mid-nineties today, it’s officially an Indian Summer and because of such, we have to dress appropriately. We could be biased, but our signature tank tops and tees are the the perfect way to beat the summer heat. Lightweight, but made of high-quality cotton blends, our Hamptons to Hollywood apparel has won our readers over and we couldn’t be happier. Our Founder, Kyle Langan, donned our classic “Hamptons to Hollywood” tank in black, and paired it with a pair of red, statement pants and a simple, yet sophisticated pair of Vans (another true American brand) for a casual, yet put-together weekend look. The best part about our casual-wear is that it’s versatile…
