“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
F Scott Fitzgerald
With NYC reopening just in time for the summer social season, here are 9 ways to style a chic lingerie-inspired look that will take you from day to night in 90 degree heat.
- Layer your outfit with an item made of sheer fabric. This will shroud you in an air of mystery and elevate your biker shorts to be Sunday brunch formal.
2. Skip the top altogether and let your bra speak for itself. Talk about beach ready.
3. Roll straight out of bed and into the pub with a pajama-chic cami and loose-fitting pants set. Maybe even bring your bathrobe for those air conditioning chills.
4. Accent your classic summer dress with lace details – like a peekaboo midriff for a picnic in the park.
5. Skip the underwear. Numquam ubi sub ubi.
6. Jazz up your basics by ditching the underwire for a lacey triangle bralette.
7. Layer your tee-shirt and jean shorts with a vintage granny slip. Cue No Doubt’s “Underneath It All.”
8. Buy a 6-pack of Hanes tank tops and accessorize with fresh flowers from the farmers market.
9. Toss on a structured crop top to awaken your inner Coachella bella.
