Layered Lace

Lace is both attractive and elegant. This young woman takes advantage of its design to create a layered, yet airy top. The copper halter bra stands out perfectly between the two cap sleeves of the black, cropped shirt. The designs of both items are so similar they look as though they are a single entity. The scalloped edges of the garments also create a pleasant design when contrasting with her skin tone. The wide waistband of her khaki shorts leaves a sliver of midriff and is adorned with a fabric belt tied in a bow. The black, chunk heel booties have a bit of an edgy look, while helping to tone her legs.

Summer Accessorizing

When dressing for the Summer, keeping it simple is a great way to beat the heat, but that doesn’t mean you can’t accessorize. This young lady wears an attention-grabbing gold maxi dress, with tied spaghetti straps. To help create a more form-fitting look, she employs the aid of a wide python print belt, which helps to accentuate her waist. Her straw fedora helps to shade her face from the sun, and her large, dark sunglasses help to keep the rays out of her eyes. Her beaded thong sandals keep her pink pedicure in view, showing that they match her bold choice in lipstick.

Loungin’ In Union Square

You don’t need to dress to the nines when sitting out in the sun, but it is always a good idea to not look like a slob. This young woman finds a stylish, yet relaxed, middle ground, while catching some rays on the steps of Union Square. She wears a simple faded black graphic tee above a pair of white shorts. On her feet is a pair of t strap sandals, with an elastic cuff around the ankle. The full headscarf and layered hair hanging from it, frame her face perfectly, while creating a casually chic look.

A Holy Dress

This young lady has paired together three distinct items to create a stunning outfit. The white, open crochet dress is a chic take on an iconic style of the 1960’s. The solid white slip underneath keeps her covered while allowing airflow through the large circular openings. The white patchwork bag has a unique variety of textures, and the blue python print adds a bit of color to the white outfit. The black leather sandals, with their glass wedge heels, hold their own in this ensemble of unique pieces. This is a great outfit for any day or night in the heat of Summer.

Distressed & Wrinkled

The heat of Summer is the perfect excuse to show off your legs. This young lady’s distressed jean shorts, with their high waist and cut off bottoms, leave a lot of “leg room” when paired with a low cut, wingtip heel. The loose fitting, light weight, wrinkled blouse tucked into the shorts’ studded waistband has a Renaissance feel, but is brought back to the contemporary with the addition of her dark wayfarer sunglasses and leather messenger bag.

Country Chic

This young woman channels her inner cowgirl on 14th St at Union Square. Her distressed, high-waisted, white jean shorts are hip and perfect for the Summer heat. The pairing of the shorts and her tan, suede cowgirl boots creates a very stylish, southern look. The black tank, topped with a navy scarf, provides a strong contrast to the shorts it’s tucked into. To top off the look she uses a silver and turquoise belt buckle emblazoned with none other than a Texas Longhorn.

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.

Double Denim Jackets

You usually don’t see anyone wearing two jean jackets in the late Spring, but this guy pulls it off. The white collar is flared over the red Opening Ceremony jean jacket. The rolled up striped denim sleeves help to show off the big gold watch dangling around his left wrist. His blue, white and grey striped shirt hangs down below the bottom of the jean jackets, creating a patterned waistline. The black skinny jeans are worn over the top of white high-top Comme des Garcons sneakers. The black pork pie hat provides a unique way to top off this outfit.

Simple Contrast

The black dress is a staple in every woman’s closet. This young lady has paired her’s with a crisp, white blazer. The contrast between the two pieces creates nice swooping lines, and a depth to the outfit. The large necklace, combines both colors, bring the whole outfit together.
