Chiffon Chic: Halima Aden at Etro FW2020

Model Halima Aden arrived at the Etro show in flowy chiffon this February, and now there are more chiffon dresses and tops hitting the stores. The fall versions come in dark colors and paisley prints, often with puff sleeves – unstructured boho chic that feels right for the moment.

Color Play: Striped Dress and Red Heels, Astor Place, April 2018

Spotted in Astor Place: someone who obviously has an eye for color – even the coffee cup sleeve picks up on the red in the rest of her outfit. The Blick Art Supply bag may be the ultimate artsy accessory.

Long Story: Emily Mortimer at Chanel’s Tribeca Film Festival Dinner 2018

Emily Mortimer wore Chanel’s classic monochrome black and white to the Tribeca Film Festival dinner, including a floor-length pleated maxi skirt. We really did not see many midi-length skirts at this fashion event despite their popularity in previous seasons. It was either mini or maxi and hardly anything in between.

You *Can* Sit With Us: the “Mean Girls” Cast at Variety’s Power of Women

Cute looks all around on Taylor Louderman, Erika Henningsen, and Ashley Park of Broadway’s “Mean Girls” at Variety’s Power of Women luncheon. Seeing a lot of long chiffon floral dresses already this spring. The starlets were actually quite nice… as far as I know…

Cleo Wade at the 2017 Whitney Gala

The stars align at this time of year, when glittery spring benefit parties intersect with longer daylight hours, allowing us to see some eveningwear trends on the street. At the Whitney Gala and Studio party last night, which raised $5.1M for the museum, artist Cleo Wade wore a long slouchy, long sleeved dress with chunky white heels. The covered-up trend continues, even in eveningwear.

Lynn Yaeger at Chanel Couture FW2016

Lynn Yaeger at Chanel Couture FW2016

As we get deep into shorts and T-shirt weather, let us take inspiration from Lynn Yaeger, who has been known to say that she doesn’t own any “normal” clothes. Summer dressing is a lot less boring with a mix of bohemian prints and lace.

It’s been a pleasure to see the always-smartly-dressed fashion consultant Yasmin Sewell around town this New York fashion week. At the Thakoon show yesterday, she mixed summer and fall with a lace maxi dress and straw boater tempered with a belted black blazer.

Maryna Kovaltchuk at Dior Couture FW2015

Maryna Kovaltchuk at Dior Couture FW2015

The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in New York air conditioning. The solution: silk! A long silk dress like this one by Leonard Paris on Maryna Kovaltchuk moves beautifully from hot city streets to cold air conditioned spaces, keeping the wearer comfortable all the while.

Gaucho Hat and Ivory Silk Dress, Coachella 2015

Gaucho Hat and White Silk Dress, Coachella 2015 Day TwoThere’s nothing like spending a few days in the beautiful California desert to help you fast forward to summer. I just got back from Coachella, where I was shooting fashion for the New York Times Styles section Instagram – @nytimesfashion – check out the whole slideshow of Coachella style here. There were too many good looks to include them all though, so you’ll see more Coachella fashion on Gastro Chic! Like this sheer ivory silk dress worn as a bikini coverup with a gaucho hat, fringe bag and high tops.

Anya Ziourova at Chloe FW2015Looking at photos of festival fashion, I keep coming back to the spring Chloe collection and its pretty prairie chic, which is spot-on for spring 2015. Anya Ziourova wore a ruffled, floral and polka dot print Chloe maxi dress to the show in Paris.

Helena Bordon at Chloe FW2015

Helena Bordon at Chloe FW2015One of my favorite looks on Helena Bordon during Paris fashion week. A striped maxi skirt or dress is a great base for spring layering, and I love how she mixed it with a sheer white off the shoulder sweater. Chloe green bag.
