Masculin Feminin, Union Square
Usually when people talk about the masculin-feminin look, they’re referencing le smoking, as seen on several guests at the 2011 CFDA Awards. But it can be dressed down too, as with this look of slouchy plaid trousers, a white buttondown with tuxedo ruffles, unisex afro and not a stitch of makeup. True personal style.

Black and White Polka Dots, Fifth Avenue
Keep an eye out for polka dots this fall, when the nautical stripes have been stowed away. They were a hit on the Marc Jacobs fall 2011 runway, often mixed in various sizes as seen here on Fifth Avenue.

Model in Denim Shorts, Chrystie Street
There’s no question about it: ultra short denim shorts are the uniform of choice this summer for models off duty. Why not, when you’ve got the legs?

Kids’ Fashion, Madison Avenue
It’s amazing how some things never go out of style in preppy kids fashion, namely polo shirts, docksiders and Stan Smiths – the same thing kids were wearing when I was growing up. Two great summer looks for boys on Madison Avenue.
White Overcoat in the Rain, Fifth Avenue
I always find it difficult to figure out what to wear on rainy summer days. This white cotton overcoat was a practical, lightweight and pretty solution at the Central Park Conservancy Luncheon. The earrings are Chanel.

Think Pink, Union Square
Retro, high-waisted 1950s shorts are making a comeback in a big way this summer. Here they look great worn with a floppy wide-brimmed hat with heels and pink accents throughout for extra pinup girl appeal.

In the Crowd, 2011 CFDA Awards
Anytime there was a dull moment on the CFDA Awards red carpet (which was rarely), we turned around to scan the crowd of non celeb guests. Often they were just as well dressed, like this guy in an expertly styled preppy look. The bow tie, windowpane plaid shirt and khaki blazer with pocket square are perfect for a formal-ish summer event.

Short Shorts, Madison Avenue
If you’ve got legs, now’s the time to show them off with short shorts, a big hit for S/S 2011. Also of-the-moment: tie-front shirts, like this one in denim.

70s Redux, Union Square
A cool ’70s redux look in Union Square complete with wide legged jeans, platform sandals and an afro to boot. Plus, the striped sailor bag is great for shopping the Greenmarket.
Floral Dress, Union Square
Fashion has gotten decidedly more feminine this season, with last summer’s boyfriend jeans and racer back tanks giving way to maxi skirts and dresses and lots of floral prints. Above, shopping in Union Square in a flirty, feminine dress paired with flat metallic sandals.

Vintage Khaki Jumpsuit, Madison Avenue
Really loved this fashion forward look on a man on Madison Avenue. The khaki jumpsuit is vintage, but it echoes Phillip Lim‘s critically acclaimed menswear collection.
