A Year in Cycling
One of the most lasting and unexpected impacts of the pandemic on New York City may be the transformation of our city streets. In the first few months of the shutdown, when subways were reserved for essential workers, New Yorkers took to cycling and many of them never stopped. Bikes whizzed by where trucks once idled, and even now that car traffic has returned, cyclists and outdoor diners have not relinquished their claim on public space.
Cycling also influenced what we wear, the key question being, can you pedal in it? Whatever that is, be it a dress or a pantsuit or bike shorts, it’s probably your best option for daytime dressing.
Monochrome Shift: Summer to Fall
During another unusually hot summer, women dressed in white from head to toe. Lightweight, all-white clothing was the only way to beat the heat when the city felt like a kiln.
Then, in the NYC version of crows appearing at the onset of fall, all-black outfits started popping up in mid to late August. And another summer comes to an end.
