In a season filled with three-day weekends and social feeds of satellite friends living it up in increasingly far-flung locales, a fabulous outdoor lounge chair offers a very necessary sense of escapism.
Outdoor furniture styles like Business & Pleasure Co.’s Al Fresco Sun Lounger bring home the whimsical Provençal glamour of St. Tropez with a sneaky spritz-ready side table (yacht views spiritually included), while woven options – surprisingly luxe-looking from names like Walmart – tap the tropical air of Bali and the Riviera Maya with all-weather wicker and patio-warming terracotta cushions, costing considerably less than seat 52E.
No, you don’t need to keep up with the Joneses, nor do you necessarily need another flight confirmation email clogging your inbox. But you probably do need an appropriately envy-inducing place to sit, so every time vacation FOMO hits, your backyard can remind you it’s already the best boutique stay in town.
The Cut is all about Homes & Gardens helping you invest in pieces that feel current now, but won’t date as trends shift. Finds that elevate a room today and still feel right years from now. Whether it’s a sculptural accent chair or a chic pendant light, our editors will curate an edit that balances style, longevity, and quality. Consider this your shortcut to smart, beautiful shopping.
