When the heat rises in New York, things can get ugly quite quickly. The streets and subways are stifling. Your makeup undoubtedly melts before arriving at your destination, and if your hair is fine like mine, any sort of styling is a total wash as soon as you step outside. But you know what they say—when the going gets tough, the tough get going in their breeziest #ootd’s to date.
My go-to look for beating the heat is a lightweight frock, like this floral slip dress, with a simple silhouette and forgiving fit. God forbid fabric touches me at at time like this. Usually from there, I’ll add a piece of statement jewelry—like this versatile necklace by Kendra Scott that can be worn as a choker or backwards as a lariat—and a sandal made for walking. I tend to keep my beauty look quite minimal and finish the look with a bright, summer-approved lipstick. What’s your favorite look for hitting the hot, hot streets?
