If you're looking to soak up every bit of Fairhope's charm this season, we've put together our top five favorite ways to enjoy a summer day here – and, of course, where to find just the right outfit for each one!
At Chatsworth, we believe that feeling comfortable and chic goes hand-in-hand with enjoying life's simple pleasures. Our collections are all about timeless style that works for whatever your day demands, especially those beautiful Fairhope summer days.
Morning Stroll on the Bluff & Pier
There's nothing quite like a peaceful morning walk along the Fairhope Bluff. With stunning views of Mobile Bay, it's the perfect way to start your day, clear your head, and maybe even spot a dolphin or two. Continue your walk out onto the Fairhope Municipal Pier – it’s a local gem and a fantastic spot for a leisurely pace.
The Outfit: For this, think comfort meets chic. Our breathable t-shirts for men and breezy, light-colored tops or a simple sundress from our collection are ideal. Pair with comfortable yet stylish sandals or espadrilles. Our "Throw on & Go Collection" has pieces perfect for this effortless start to your day.
Browse Downtown Boutiques & Galleries
After a refreshing walk, head into downtown Fairhope! Our streets are lined with charming independent boutiques, art galleries filled with local talent, and inviting cafes. It’s a joy to simply wander, discover unique treasures, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere.
The Outfit: This calls for something stylish but easy to move in, as you'll be popping in and out of shops. For women, a versatile midi dress or a chic skirt paired with one of our elevated cotton tees works beautifully. Men can opt for smart shorts and one of our comfortable polo shirts. Don’t forget a stylish tote bag for all your finds!
A Leisurely Lunch with a View
Fairhope offers so many wonderful spots to grab a bite. Whether you're craving fresh seafood or a delightful sandwich, finding a restaurant with a view of the bay is always a summer treat. It’s the perfect midday pause to relax and enjoy the culinary delights of our town.
The Outfit: Elevate your casual look for lunch. For women, a patterned summer dress or a crisp blouse paired with tailored shorts. For men, a linen short-sleeve shirt with chinos. You might also find something in our "Red, White, & Blue Collection" that's perfect for a classic summer lunch look.
Afternoon at the Fairhope Beach or Local Parks
When the sun is shining bright, there’s nothing better than enjoying Fairhope's small, charming beach area at the Grand, or finding yourself out on a boat. It’s a wonderful way to relax, read a book, or simply enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
The Outfit: This is where our comfortable yet stylish swimwear for both men and women comes in handy! Layer it with one of our breezy cover-ups or a light linen shirt. Don't forget a wide-brimmed hat and stylish sunglasses for sun protection – we have great options in our accessories.
Sunset Watching Over Mobile Bay
Fairhope sunsets are legendary for a reason. As the day cools and the sky turns vibrant shades of orange, pink, and purple over Mobile Bay, finding a spot on the pier or along the bluff to watch the sun dip below the horizon is a truly magical way to end your day.
The Outfit: For sunset, you might want a touch more polish. A flowy maxi dress or a pretty top with elegant trousers for women. For men, a sophisticated button-down shirt (sleeves rolled up, of course!) with smart shorts or lightweight pants. A light jacket or wrap is often a good idea as the evening breeze picks up.
However you choose to enjoy your summer day in Fairhope, we're here at Chatsworth to help you find the perfect outfit that blends comfort, quality, and timeless style. Come visit us in downtown Fairhope or explore our collections online!
