Style Q&A With Levi Sebree and Bailey Taylor
The Summer House best friends have wildly different approaches to fashion—and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Levi Sebree and Bailey Taylor might be partners in crime, but you won't catch them sharing a style uniform. Bailey gravitates toward romantic silhouettes, tailored pieces, and an effortless kind of chic. Levi, on the other hand, is all about unexpected combinations, bold colors, and the occasional outfit that makes people do a double take. And that's exactly how they like it.
The Summer House stars and fashion-loving creatives have built a friendship around their shared passion for style, even when their interpretations couldn't be more different. They know each other's closets well enough to spot a "Bailey top" or a "Levi look" from across the room, but neither is interested in turning the other into a carbon copy. Instead, they push each other to take risks, appreciate fashion as an art form, and wear what makes them feel most like themselves.
We caught up with the duo in New York to talk about their personal style, the trends they're ready to retire, dressing for the Hamptons, and why having a best friend who dresses nothing like you might be the best fashion inspiration of all.
Two Girls, Two Very Different Closets
Amanda: Can you walk me through your look today?
Levi: I'm wearing an oversized sci-fi T-shirt (one of my faves) paired with an IRO fringe skirt and studded belt—fringe is so back! The sunglasses I found from a street vendor in Saint-Tropez cost 10 euros, and the fabulous green pointed-toe heels are from a Tory Burch sample sale. Lately, I've really been into unexpected color combinations and leaning into texture. I find that adding texture, like the skirt, always makes a look feel more dynamic and FASHION!
Bailey: I am wearing Reformation and IRO. I am really in a phase where I want to be chic and comfortable. My green Gucci bag is my best friend. She goes with everything. If I am in SoHo, I am either shopping or working (or both), so I am always wearing something that can lend itself to both.
Amanda: You two are BFFs, but your personal styles are pretty different. How would you describe each other's style?
Levi: I actually love that we have different styles! It's so easy to say, "OMG, that's so Bailey," or "That is such a Levi top," and that's really fun. One thing we do have in common is our absolute love for fashion—it's our industry and passion, and we speak the same language.
BT's style in two words: chic and romantic. She loves delicate lace, tailored coats, and corset silhouettes. It gives model off-duty with a little romance, vintage vibes, and sometimes (very sometimes) grunge. She's from Seattle, after all!
Bailey: We have extremely different styles, and I love it. Levi is brave in ways I could never be. She gets fashion, and she just goes there. I would describe Levi as an alien that escaped from its spaceship so it could go to Burning Man, so it robbed the first clubwear store it could find. Iconic.
