Polo Street Chic: Ivory Romper and Wedge Sneakers
Love the combination of modern and traditional in this look at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic. The romper and wedge sneakers are very summer 2012, but the mix of ivory cotton and pale brown leather shoes goes back to the 1920s.
Preppy Look, Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic
Going away for the 4th of July? Depending on your destination, it may be time to brush up on your preppy fashion. At the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, this fellow photographer nailed it with a baby blue blazer, striped oxford, striped belt and loafers. The white jeans are a newer take on the preppy look, but in places like the Hamptons, they work.

Floral Frock, Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic
A floral frock looks so elegant for a daytime summer party. At the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, this guest paired hers with the traditional wide-brimmed hat and nude peep-toe shoes. Why are nude shoes the trend that never ends? Because they make your legs look never-ending.
Polo Street Chic: House Photographer in All White
Here’s another Gatsby-esque look for you: the house photographer of the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in a white dress and brown oxfords. Also love the boater hat as a substitute for the ubiquitous straw fedora. Expect 1920s chic to reign this summer as we near the release of The Great Gatsby.
Street Chic: Black and White Polka Dot Dress, Astor Place
This look is just the right combination of feminine and edgy for a summer day in the East Village. More and more women are wearing boots instead of sandals with dresses and skirts. Not only is it fashionable, it’s a good way to deal with potential bad weather.
Bonnaroo Street Chic: Yellow Denim Shorts and Jean Jacket
Another advantage of denim shorts dyed in colors other than blue: then you can pair them with a plain jean jacket, as with these cute yellow cut-off shorts. Love how she accessorizes for a festival with a headband and feather earrings, too.
Bonnaroo Street Chic: All Black
Here’s another citified look for the country: a black bikini, sheer black tank top, black lace skirt, black Coach bag and black Hunter wellies. It’s the Bonnaroo version of the little black dress.
Bonnaroo Street Chic: Leopard-Print Shorts and Doc Martens
Since the original huge American music festival was Woodstock, festival fashion often follows the hippie beat of that era. But as a New Yorker, I liked seeing the edgier looks at Bonnaroo. Military boots like Doc Martens are perfect for tackling dust or mud, and not every print has to be paisley. Try leopard!
Bonnaroo Street Chic: Crochet Bikini and Denim Shorts
Sometimes the best thing to wear when it’s blistering hot is next to nothing, especially when you have the bod for it, like this girl at Bonnaroo in a brown crochet bikini top, Daisy Duke shorts, cowboy boots and a big sombrero.
Two Summer 2012 Trends: Denim Shorts and Head Wreaths
These two fashionable friends were wearing a couple of things that keep popping up everywhere for summer 2012: denim shorts, on the left, and a head wreath, on the right. Jean shorts aren’t just blue anymore but come in a wide array of colors, like these in burgundy, in neon colors, dip-dyed or even tie-dyed. And head wreaths are worth noting not just because of the festival circuit but for their appearance on fashion influencers like the Man Repeller and Giovanna Battaglia. (more…)
Bonnaroo Street Chic: White Tunic and Fanny Pack
Cute bikini cover-ups were a key part of getting dressed every day at Bonnaroo. This white cotton tunic with a lace edge is breezy and pretty on one of many guests who opted for a fanny pack instead of a handbag. The print socks and Keds add a little bit of quirk.
Two Girls in Graphic Prints, Bonnaroo
Graphic prints were a popular way to show your spirit at Bonnaroo. They ranged from the psychedelic, like the high-waisted shorts on the left, to the more subtle, like the cotton tunic on the right.
White Crochet Dress, Bonnaroo
Open and airy crochet was a chic way to beat the heat at Bonnaroo. An ivory crochet dress serves as a bathing suit coverup here, paired with a headscarf, Ray Ban aviators and sandals. Like many guests, she piled on the bracelets to accessorize that Bonnaroo wristband.
Bralet and Short Shorts, Bonnaroo
To beat the heat on the steamy first day of Bonnaroo, many guests wore not much at all. Better to opt for a cute bralet and short shorts like these, however, than just a bikini. It’s a way to keep cool but stay dressed.
