Live Action Getup: Fall Weekend in Montauk

Where to Stay in Montauk

I was excited to head to the Hamptons this weekend. It was my first time venturing that far east in New York; Montauk being the eastern most stop on Long Island. Generally thought of as a summer escape for New Yorkers, Montauk is also a magical destination once the mercury drops. I was honored to be invited to come out to the famous Gurney's Resort with some of the web's best grooming editors and influencers to learn about the new hair and skincare products from brands like Axe, Dove Men+Care, and Suave. There are some surprisingly cool new innovations that will become new standards for men's grooming. More on that to come!

Gurney's has that perfect mix of beach resort and modern hotels like The Parker in Palm Springs or Downtown LA's Ace, with a warm aesthetic that's equally true to its Hamptons heritage as it is minimal and modern.

Just two hours from the city, Gurney's is the perfect, relaxing weekend at the end of a week's stay in New York. Fly in, experience the best of the city. Then on Friday, rent a car and head to Montauk for a quiet, intimate time in this small New England-style town.

Our Getup is casual and comfortable but also clearly put-together. What do you think? Do you have a favorite casual sweater or winter destination? Chat with me in the comments!
