Best of Boston

It may be chaotic in downtown Nantucket on a typical summer day, but inside the apparel and home-goods store Nomad, all is calm. Set in soothing coastal tones, the store offers a place to rest your eyes on a neutral palette of sophisticated home accessories, including throws, pillows, and glassware. Worldly sourced loungewear, jewelry, and sandals, meanwhile, epitomize what we’d call Nantucket barefoot elegance.
