Jimi Hendrix Reincarnate

This musician has an artistically retro look, reminiscent of a young Jimi Hendrix. Around the collar of his white button down, he wears a uniquely tied, brown cravat. Atop the dress shirt is a bold, red vest from The Brooklyn Circus. His black dress pants have clean lines and sit just above his patent leather shoes, leaving room for his red socks to show through. Underneath his crushed trilby hat resides a well-manicured Afro and a scruffy goatee. Over his shoulder rests a soft bodied guitar case, in which he keeps his instrument of choice.

A Refined Statement Of Luxury

Hermés handbags are a world-renowned sign of luxury. In 1935 this style, later named the Kelly bag, after the actress Grace Kelly, was introduced and has remained a statement of wealth to this day. This elegant woman has paired her Kelly bag with a pristine, white outfit. Her white slim fitted pants, with a dotted texture, sit atop a pair of open-toed leopard pumps. She wears a white lace blouse, with frayed edges tucked into her wide leather belt with white detailing. Over the lace she wears a plush, off white wrap, flowing around her legs. Her gold jewelry matches, perfectly, the hardware on the bag and accentuates her already refined look.

Confidence Personified

This young lady is a star, walking the streets like she owns them. Her style just screams confidence. She has a lot going on in this outfit, starting with the growling mouth on her cutoff tee. The tee is bloused over the waistband of her grey mullet skirt, with an overlapping, swooping waterfall design. The skirt, maxi length in back, still allows for her black, platform ankle booties to standout. She is decked out in accessories, most notably the leopard shoulder bag, hanging at her side. Her left wrist and hand are covered in large, eye-catching statement pieces, which go really well with the medallion around her neck. The bold, red lipstick is the perfect way to finish off a confident look like this, allowing her to dominate the streets.

A Hot Halter Top

This is a show-stopping top. From bebe, this silk halter with a paisley pattern and contrast trim is truly stunning. This young lady pairs it with a pair of pink pastel shorts, which go extremely well with the coloring of the top. Her black Valentino thong sandals, with big black bows are fun and perfect for the heat of summer. Her matching lilac manicure and pedicure are an added pop of color that goes with the colors of the top as well.

Cool Mint

Mint is a very popular shade right now. This young lady wears a mint, sleeveless dress with a deep v neckline. The black sash tied in a bow around her waist really helps to make the dress look superb. Her minimalist necklace is the perfect accessory for this open neckline, without looking too overdone. The two-tone heels are very fashionable, but their neutral colors don’t take away from the power of the dress. The black messenger bag works well with the sash, and breaks up the solid dress just a tiny bit more.

Chic From Head To Toe

This young lady has a very unique, yet extremely appealing style. Her white button up blouse has a decoration of black triangles around the collar and pocket. She wears her sleeves rolled up above her elbows, and leaves the top button buttoned. The wide diameter necklace, with the large medallion, is a great accent to the collar. Her ruffled, blue shorts are mostly concealed by the bottom of the blouse, but create a strong accent where they do show through. The Dior wedge sandals are another statement piece in this outfit, and are simply magnificent. The way she wears her headscarf, with the big bow in front, has a retro look and pulls together all the colors of the ensemble.

Bright Colored Tube Top Maxi

Bright days, like today, are a perfect time to show off your brightest colors. This young woman wears a tube top maxi dress covered in a horizontal stripe pattern. The two tones of orange and white stripes help to separate the dress into, what looks like two different items. The jersey material is lightweight, allowing for breathability especially when paired with the beige t-strap sandals.

Beach Cruisin’ The NYC Streets

For those who could withstand the heat, today was a beautiful day to be outside. This young woman stops to check her phone, while hitting the streets on her baby blue beach cruiser. She has knotted her colorful, floral, maxi skirt at knee-length to allow for comfortable pedaling. Her sandals are not only airy and stylish, but match the colors of her skirt, creating a unified look. The sleeveless white shirt, with a faint stripe pattern, has extra large armholes, allowing air to circulate throughout the garment, helping to keep her cool on this scorching summer day.

Formal Athletic Wear

Today is the official start of Summer. Meteorologists have pegged this Summer Solstice as the hottest day of the year so far. While dressing to combat this scorcher you should show as much skin as is appropriate for your environment. As this man shows, you do not need to stick to the norm, and can invent an outfit that is both weather appropriate and stylish. His short, dress shorts and vest are not something you see paired with athletic socks and shoes, but allow him to remain comfortable in this extreme heat.

Fashion Forward Business Woman

This young woman has a new, fashion forward take on business casual dress. She incorporates a colorblocking scheme using muted colors to help maintain unity within the outfit. Her forest green, ankle length pants are cuffed above a pair of nude, high-heeled sandals. Her sheer mauve, button down blouse is embellished by a faint, yet detailed, python print, over which is a navy blazer with puff shoulders. She has pushed up the blazer’s sleeves to her elbow, allowing the blouse sleeves to show through the forearm. The wooden necklace adds a bit of unconventional design to the outfit, yet matches her sandals perfectly.
