NYC Girls Love These Summer Basics, But the Appeal Is Universal
It goes without saying that what the stylish citizens of NYC wear is the subject of much fascination. I think the reason has to do with the fact that New York gets all four seasons, and the people who live there must dress accordingly. (And of course, there's the fact that it's one of the fashion capitals of the world.) NYC girls need functional clothes that are also chic (and will keep you cool in the summer), so they’re a great resource to look to when you need some fresh new basics yourself and don’t know where to start.
After more than a year of buying enough loungewear to clothe ten people, I’ve recently found myself with nothing to wear (“nothing to wear”, that is). I often stare at my closet for a longer time than I care to admit, making a mental list of all of the summer basics that would make getting dressed easier. So instead of just thinking about it, I made a pared-down list of the best basics for summer, with a little help from some of the coolest NYC girls on Instagram. Read on to find out which pieces they all seem to own, and shop my picks for each.
For the most part, NYC girls save the flip-flops for the beach, opting for more substantial sandals for all the walking they do on the often grimy city streets.Summers in NYC are quite hot and humid, so the airiest clothes possible are a necessity come July. Accordingly, a pretty white top (or two) is something you'll find in every NYC girl's closet.Short denim cut-offs have fallen out of favor with NYC girls, who instead opt for more polished longer-length jhorts.Thanks to A/C, you'll probably still need some sort of jacket, even when it's 95 degrees out. A slouchy blazer (especially a linen one) is the perfect chic cover-up.White sneakers are kind of the only sneakers that matter to NYC girls come summer, as they go with every other summer basic in their closets.Shorts are great, but NYC girls also prioritize loose, airy trousers in the summer. Khaki ones, while trendy at the moment, are a timeless basic that goes with everything your jeans go with.I come across so many ribbed tank tops on Instagram this time of year that I'm tempted to buy another one on a daily basis. It just doesn't get more versatile than this.NYC girls love denim, and once Memorial Day weekend hits, you'll start to see plenty of white jeans in your feed. I love how fresh they look with a white T-shirt.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
