Sarah Rutson in a Little Black Dress

Never underestimate the power of a little black dress – even during a heat wave. Sarah Rutson of Lane Crawford styled hers with a black vest cinched with a double-wrapped belt during Paris fashion week. It’s a sleek and stylish way of layering for alternating heat and air conditioning.

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.

Hat With Pink Feathers, Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic

Love how the dramatically tall pink feathers in the hat match her sundress.

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.

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: 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.

Anthropologie Crop Top and Maxi Skirt, Bonnaroo

Here’s another cute crop top look from this weekend’s Bonnaroo. Coordinated tops and skirts are this summer’s sundress, in which all-over prints get updated with cut out panels and midriff-baring separates.

Halter Top and Denim Shorts, Bonnaroo

Halter tops were a great way to beat the heat during the first, really hot days of Bonnaroo, and denim shorts are always a popular pick for outdoor concerts. This guest also wore a couple of accessories that were popping up everywhere: a fanny pack and a head wreath adorned with flowers.

Three Girls in Maxi Skirts, Bonnaroo

The place to be last weekend was Manchester, Tennessee, where the 2012 Bonnaroo festival took over 700 acres of farmland for six stages, dozens of vendors, and approximately 80,000 music fans. Because most people camped out instead of staying in hotels, Bonnaroo bore more resemblance to Woodstock than Lollapalooza, and fashion followed suit. These three girls wore maxi skirts, bikinis, headbands and crocheted tops that wouldn’t have been out of place in the ’60s. But they have one accessory that’s very trendy right now – the hula hoop. Girls are hooping their way through set after set of music, some with LED-lit hula hoops after dark.

Hamish Bowles in a Swarovski Crystal Bow Tie, 2012 CFDA Awards

As usual, Hamish Bowles takes the award for best in men’s fashion. At the 2012 CFDA Awards, sponsored by Swarovski, he wore a Swarovski crystal bow tie with his tux. The magenta socks are the icing on the cake.
