Real Style in 90 Degree Weather

I could tell you to wear this:

I want to tell you to wear this:

But here’s the thing of it: as far as Apple Weather will predict (eight days if I’m being precise-as-fuq), there’s a neat wave of hot weather permeating this side of Poland (what?) and as such, it’s not really about what you wear, it’s about what you don’t. In an ideal world, yes, you’re putting on a jumpsuit. They’re so g-dang trendy. You’re wearing it with a belt and a neck scarf and maybe a pair of boots but probably a pair of sandals. Or maybe not. You could very well have transformed into the coolest human ever overnight and thus when you woke up, you thought to rip slits into your brother’s jeans, wear them with a pair of dainty shoes and his button down x a scarf that will both nurture and hurt you if you don’t treat it properly.

But, again, it’s 91 and sunny (sure beats 22 and snowy) and if you’re thinking about how to look cool while it’s hot, why not look to the de facto women of lower Manhattan. We sent Krista out to capture the real street style permeating the streets of Nolita-and-beyond and the fundamental takeaways are these:

1. Culottes have eclipsed shorts.

2. Lady, you twisted if you’re trying to wear more than two garments.

3. White and black still reign as most reliable colors to conceal and reveal in tandem.

4. If you’re thinking about boots, just wear them with a little dress.

5. Iced coffee and H2O will be your saving grace.

Happy melt day! See you on the other side!
