I would trade summer for spring any day. If you are not at the beach 24/7, there is no fun in bearing the heat. Spring, on the other hand, is just the right mix of hot and cold for anything you have planned—except the beach. Since choosing the climate is not an option, I have learned to cope with the given circumstances. With that said, this Fashionista is exhibit A of what someone who has styled dresses like they’re styled in the summer: a trendy dress and sneakers. I am obsessed with people who wear dresses and sneakers. To me, it is the coolest thing.
Now, analyzing her dress specifically, clothes inspired by basketball uniforms have been in fashion for a while. Since the ’90s, they have come and gone quite a few times. Most recently, Tom Ford showed jersey dresses in his fall 2014 ready-to-wear collection. Tommy Hilfiger also invested in the trend for his brand’s spring 2014 runway show.
A simple way you can change this look is by trading in her sneakers for running shoes, preferably a colorful or neon pair. That way her outfit would look even sportier. Also, how good would this look with knee-high socks and a maxi necklace? Another option is to tie a plaid shirt around her waist, put on combat boots and a nice pair of Ray-Ban wayfarers. Lastly, to make it more club material, opt for high heels and a small cross-body purse.
What is YOUR STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I like wearing jersey dresses during the day for any occasion. At night, I switch into crop tops and high-waisted bottoms.”
