Want to create a poolside scene worthy of an iconic Slim Aarons shot? Or take the fun of EMP Summer House's shaded backyard tables home? The most effective investment is a statement umbrella that’s scalloped, fringed or tasseled. Pull over at Wainscott's Serena & Lily. “We wanted to create a sophisticated and elegant umbrella and give it a playful twist,” says Chief Design Officer Kirsty Williams of the brand’s newest pagoda-style canopy. “We looked to a classic style for inspiration and updated it, making it relevant with the fluidity and contrasting color of the fringe. It’s a piece to have fun with!” Fringed umbrella, $988, Serena & Lily, 332 Montauk Highway, East Hampton
