What They Wear: Hot Summer Day
If there were a word to sum up summer, it would have to be carefree. Since we were little, we have always looked forward to these three golden months where our biggest worry was when the ice cream truck would come around, and what would we get (decisions, decisions!). However, nowadays, the warm weather brings with it a whole new set of problems that make us long for the days when picking between a Sno Cone or Otter Pop was our biggest dilemma; specifically, how to dress appropriately for a sizzling summer day, while also looking put-together and stylish. Though we could labor over this question for the remainder of August, we have decided, instead, to take some dressing direction from six of our favorite fashion frontrunners. Whether it’s a printed halter dress (à la Rachel Bilson) or a voluminous pair of satiny shorts (like Leighton Meester), we think today's sextet will provide you, dear readers, with a little end-of-summer inspiration to keep you looking hot and feeling cool!
Alexa Chung
Self-proclaimed tomboy, Alexa Chung, wore a playful overall cut-off denim dress while hailing a cab in Manhattan earlier this summer. The
It's On With Alexa Chung host's short selection looked wonderful with one of our favorite summer top trends, the
boyfriend shirt. Though both of her pieces are vintage finds, we can recommend Current/Elliott's
Overalls ($298) layered over Forever 21's
Classic LS Button Down Shirt ($10) for more contemporary alternatives. The It-Brit finished her look with a long shoulder-strap bag and Salvatore Ferragamo
Vara Heels ($395), a shoe style so classic that it’s only rivaled by Chanel ballet flats. If you are in the market for a lower-priced bow-embellished sole selection, try Topshop's
Minnie Bow Ballet Flat ($55)!
