On the Street....Summer Color, New York
I get emails all the time saying "Oh, it's so hot where I live, how can I ever dress fashionably when it is too hot to wear clothes?"
Well, to me this photo is the essence of summer fashion at its hottest. Bright colors, fun accessories and easy hairstyles: summer style can be as easy as a few special pieces.

That is my favorite color right now -- fruit punch red.
Funky & stylish. Summer-friendly if you ask me.
WHERE can I get this dress??!!
It's so hot in DC, I do worry that I will ignite upon leaving my AC dwelling. This is the type of igniting that I would prefer - bright red dress. Lovely.
this. is. absolutely. amazing.
perfect summer outfit...so cool!
That dress is quite stunning, such volume and the color is so bright.
I love this style.
I feel the vacation.
so true this is defintyly how to wear fashionable clothes in the summer! she looks amazing! im in love with this dress"

Hahaha it is funny how OPPOSITE it is in England right now. We're all complaining it is too rainy to wear any summer outfits *sigh*. She looks so chic, and I love how at first glance it looks as if she's barefoot. Really adds to the picture!
amazing! especially love how she paired a simple flat with the dramatic dress!
Great color on her.

I have a new shoe crush. The dress is gorgeous but those shoes would definitely get you around town stylishly...
I LOVE her shoes.

on the other hand, what should we wear if there is raining almost every day although it's summer! and i'm not talking aobut light rain but havy rain shower and summer thunderstorm.. br from rainy Poland
So perfect for summer, I love how even the shape conveys the idea of summer: fresh, floaty and fun!
I like your first sentence, it's fun!
And I agree with you, we can dress stylish even in summer! ;) Great exemple!
I dont like it! I dont know why, think it just looks kinda wired, well i know its the shape i dont like
all in her look is very relaxing: hair, dress, sandals.
BTW, sandals look almost invisible!
exactly.
Great color. And fabulous shoes. I love this look.

Beautiful, and I love the neutral sandal (any idea who makes it, anyone?)
Wow stunning dress!
Sooo beautiful!
Tried on the very dress this past weekend .. decided it wasnt me .. I was right ..
I do agree so much with your words!
That dress has an amazing color.

I have something very similar which I've not stopped wearing this summer :) xoxoxo

So wonderfully chic, and if it weren't for the mobile phone it would be such a carefree look - love that all the drama comes from the colour of the dress.

Completely true... there is always away to wear fashion no matter the climate! A good example of summer dress, J'adore x

Every once I a while you see someone on the street with a look that clearly reflects the season, the spirit of the day and coolness.
I think that this girls is that person. And it is not just because of the dress which by the way is gorgeous. It is also how she has her hair, the a ccessories on her hand the drink that she has.
Really great post.
I love it. Defiantly a favorite.
Gorgeous! Love that color!
Oh this is just beautiful!! Love the bright colors and the nude sandals.
Really, really love this photo.

love that dress.
WOW! this is perfection..
That's so right!
Plus...it's hot in so many places! I live in Italy and it's very hot..but this is the best moment of the year to 'play' with style and colour.. I love Summer!
That definitely looks like a cool outfit - very breezy and stylish all in one.

I absolutely love this dress, and her accessories! Nothing like a big red dress to get the attention of surrounding pedestrians.
It´s summer :-)
J'adore!!!!!

gorgeous photo! love the dress!
http://monkeyshines-monkeyshines.blogspot.com/
what a beautiful red dress!
Lovely! I love her bracelets too.
wow, beautiful! love love love the color!!
With this horribly hot summer even that dress looks too much clothes, so i'd make it a bit shorter but the rest is perfect!
singinonmymind.blogspot.com
Oh, I love this dress!! I love the color, the style, the whole thing. The shoes are cute too! The whole look reminds me of summer!
http://www.eclecticteen.blogspot.com
It's all about the wearer. Confidence can carry off a potato sack and look amazingly chic and cool (if the weather is hot). A stereotype but it's true.
Cool background as well, 60 Spring St (aka 225 Lafayette), I believe.
Wow!!! so cute!
Yes, you are right.
This style is very easy but fashonable at the summer time.
http://team-foodies.blogspot.com/
Where can I get this dress?!
Great colour!!!!
This is amazing!
I love the ruffles and asymmetrical hem of the dress. Does anyone know who makes this dress?
Love the 'armwear' - reminds me of Phoebe in 'Friends'.
oh my, this dress is SO gorg!! perfect summer wear
How beautiful, with such volume!
onlywhenyoure17.blogspot.com
oh, my heart is racing over this dress! j'adore :)))
i can just see her singing "smelly cat" :)
Someone tell us where to find this lovely dress! :)
An amazing look. So perfect for the hot weather that seems to be sweeping across the country. Good to know we can still look fabulous in the heat.

She has Summer right!
"Bright colors, fun accessories and easy hairstyles" - yep, I totally agree, that's the key... and you don't have to be dishevelled or sloppy to feel fresh, comfortable or "summery casual".
http://www.isthisitmodelsreview.com/
Would the layering not make this rather warm, actually?
It's an exquisite dress for a night out in warm weather, if not for the beach.
http://davidikus.blogspot.com/
Great photo! Vibrant color, beautiful lines and feminine ruffles on the dress. She looks like she is a member of the NY City Ballet!
dress is gorgeous, but her posture kills the look.
oh la la... this girl should be in movies and more....give her a jingle bec shes got it together for style and fashion...!!!!! anony
Check it out! A western hemisphere burqa!
Love the shoes colour while mixed with the red dress. Looks good!
definitely a picture that should be in the new york times on the street... a saver...
Amazing colour and amazing photo :)
XoXo
Gorgeous. Love the color of the dress as well as all the bracelets.

The dress is beautiful, the girl is beautiful, the shoes are killer, but that posture! Pull your shoulders back!
absolutely LOVE and adore that dress!

http://bimbaymery.blogspot.com
It looks good on her, but I wonder if anyone larger or less tan would look good in this? Also, I can't help but think that there's nothing more annoying than heavy jewelry on a hot day.
this dress it beautiful in color and cut...almost too lovely for the daytime but the stylishly messy hair and the chic, flat sandals make it work.
as for the people who are unsure of how to dress fashionably or stylishly in hot weather...trust your imagination. most of great style comes from a willingness to spend the time to find/try out what works best for you. fashion on the otherhand is what designers present and then you pick from the collection what works best for you.
trust your imagination. know your audience. go for it. if you get it wrong, try something different.

This color is magical! And I love the movement in this dress. Really beautiful!

Sigh. want. this.
She looks so graceful and beautiful in this dress. I love how elegant this looks, yet she wears it with simplicity.

perfect summer dress....ugh.
okay, please to those who have commented saying they tried this on etc...where is it from? we've got some dying girls who need to own this (myself included of course) help a brother out?? ;-)
I'm completely obsessed with this.
FABULOUS! What a great color. Elegant and fun.

dress cute but sandals superb - any info yet on them?
if you wanna see some crazy styles, walk down 22nd street towards 11th ave where bpmw menswear capsule tradeshow is happening...some of the raddest looks i've seen in years! (today till 6, tomorrow 8-6) -(((dont post)))-
Red is my favourite color... so glad to see it back this year. and the nude sandles are spot on. I'm actually wearing a red blouse, nude platforms and a white skirt today.
only thing that's bugging me about this is that the dress looks ill fitting under her arm; like maybe the dress is to big for her and she gathered & pinned it..
great dress, it just seem so comfortable and light !
you captured this perfectly. i love it !! :)

this is literally perfection
what a great city shot!
wouldn't that dress look equally divine billowing on main beach in east hampton ?
yesss, I wanna know too where the dress is from, it's stunning! And so are the shoes, can anyone ID them? ;)
I live in Bangkok and it's always hot here. And people here dress up too. But my girlfriend likes to do it a bit more ;-)
Check her blog http://chanoks.blogspot.com/ how she dresses up in the hottest city of the world..
I love this color, the way the dress moves w/her and the sandals, it would be high on my summer uniform list.

the movement of that dress is INCREDIBLE. That really is the essence of summer. Love it.

That dress looks like the perfect garment for a hot, humid day--it's both flow-y and lovely!
Just looking at that shade of red always makes me feel 5 degress hotter, though. It looks great on her, but I'd go for a cooler tone (pun not entirely intended).
very, very cool summer look... so easy and chic!
www.twinkletoes-golddangles.blogspot.com
I lover her...great style & great pic!
Oh Jesus! SHES LOOKING SO CUTE :D
I NEED THAT DRESS!!
where is it from??!!
lovely dress, really looks like summer. but there's too much stuff on her arm.
looking hot while it's hot is so hot
The dress is from Wasteland in Los Angeles, by Fumblin Foe. And the sandals are Joe's from the Saks outlet. Glad people liked the dress!

Love this look.
(My second comment on this -- is that allowed?!)
Everyone's saying Red. I see Orange.
honey i love your blog!
you are a daily inspiration for me and that's why i followed!
i'd be very happy to hear your thoughts and comments about my blog!
http://triptoseduction.blogspot.com/
kisses!
i was just about to say i owuld love to own that dress when i saw what you wrote..
http://flysongbird.blogspot.com/
There's absolutely nothing I don't love about that dress! Wonderful.
Adorable!
So true, I love this posttt!

Totally agree with the comment. just keep it simple for the summer and it works out. If you want details, best leave that for the jewelry or hair. This woman looks amazing. It actually makes me happy to look at her.
Every time I see your photos Scott, I long for warmer weather. This photo has inspired me to pop on my favourite dusty pink silk summer maxi...unfortunately it will be over the top of a black roll neck and vintage ankle boots. Damn cold Melbourne weather.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/VictorandLouise?ref=si_shop
This whole looks so well because of the simple neutrality of the shoes..blend in but on closer inspection have subtle details.
http://somefashionclout.blogspot.com
I like it,
I like it,
I really, really
liiiike it!
:)
Love the color!
I can't stop staring - the invisible shoes with the bright dress in the dirty, hot city. Fantastic!
very agreeable to the said statements. the red maxidress is just summerly divine.
http://daniimodafolli.blogspot.com
I need this dress...sadly, my bodacious boobies would not work in this dress.
i really need to get more dresses like that one.
http://www.postmodernrunway.com/
I adore this color and it is everywhere right now. I love the easy style this girl has.
I saw this woman in Manhattan on the same day and her image was burned in my memory, mainly from the way the dress was dancing in the wind. It was incredible.
seeing this picture gave me the biggest smile...I love this dress! xo
Like the 'tropical fruit punch' color
however,
the cut, shape, and volume are all wrong to me. Looks like a big, red, circus tent.
Is a triangle silhouette ever flattering?
I love the teardrop shape her dress makes from this angle - reminds me of a classic Porsche.
http://oecodomic.blogspot.com/
Utterly outstanding!
Magnetizing picture and girl. Absolutely love it!
Your Looking really so gorgeous & so sexy...........................
the hair... absolutely... completes the look..
love the easy style..
The color is lovely. The dress-tent, posture, flat feet and slurpee are not...
omg!! i really love this dress :D

Iced coffee is the best summer accessory
I would like to ask another question: How to wear when it's really cold? I haven't seen any pic's on your blog, when it's -20 or more. It's kind a hard to look good when you need at least three pairs of pants to feel warm enough.
And here in Lapland that kind of weather is really common at the winter. Then is hard to find women with leather stilettos.
Fabulous photo! You really captured the floatiness of the light material, Scott. Such a huge amount of volume with no heaviness - it looks like she could just drift away. Gorgeous!
The dress is FANTASTIC!
nice!
That dress is amazing. First time I could see myself in a very long dress.
If anyone knows where she got it from, please let me know!!

WOW! So beautiful and cute dress, I like this outfit and your blog...
thanks to share..
Such a free and easy look!
All that lovely billowing fabric: this is summer!
This is amazing - I am based in Asia (where it's hot and sweaty) and have been looking for the perfect summer dress... you seem to have found it! Let alone the killer pair of shoes. Love them!

Very cute but not such a viable option for us bigger gals. Shapeless dresses are not always in fashion.
for some reason, i thought she looked like Lisa Kudrow for a second. But really pretty dress though :)
c'est quoi cette robe? elle est enceinte? pas sexy du tout!!!
I have a different question: What should I do with my summer clothes if the summer is too cold and rainy to wear them?
But I love the picture!
Bold and big - like it!
When in doubt, wear red.

gorgeous. love the color! summer babies for the win.

Great- so now we know how to dress if we are
a. skinny
b. can walk around without a bra, and c. don't need to go to the office.
Indeed, a great achievement.
I now dare you to find a girl that represents the "essence of summer fashion at its hottest" without being any of the above. And then tell us that summer style can be easy.
It's very similar to a Lanvin dress from the SS 2008 collection.

I'm probably going to be the only one to say this but I think for very hot days dressing in white, blue or green are the colours that are cooling on the eye... and this transposes to your heart rate to calm you down.
Whilst I adore this dress and it's flowing look, its fiery red colour would only make me want to look away when I'm sweltering in a high rise cityscape.
Same goes for planting in a garden--a cool lot of blue or white flowering plants amongst green grass makes you relax on a hot day. This is why pools and the ocean is also so cooling/relaxing to the psyche in summer.
I love that her cleary slender frame is completely disguised by this vibrant sheath, which would bother many people. Lovely shot.
http://styleflourish.blogspot.com/
Love the vibrant colour of the dress. Very summery. So simple yet gorgeous. Anyone know where I can buy this dress?
http://lilmissbuttercup.blogspot.com/
Great hand band accessories.
Absolutely fabulous! I could live in a dress like that.
To Annon 4:18 First of all, its not possible to find one picture that encompasses all figure types and all occasions. This woman is certainly pretty, but she is not a supermodel. What she does have is style. And its the IDEA of her outfit that is so universal. NOT the outfit itself. You could go anywhere from a lunch date, to shopping, to a playdate with your kids. Even to many offices, if you threw on a cover. I'd bet a nude or white shirt or crochet shrug would be great. As for work in a conservative office, well that is simple. You wear much the same thing winter and summer. They are airconditioned for a reason. Then, as soon as you can get out of the soul killing environment, put on a summer dress and sandals. SIMPLE.
Couldn't help but reply to this message:
"Great- so now we know how to dress if we are

Ok, my response:
The poster stated three things that he considers the "essence of summer fashion at its hottest" and they are "Bright colors, fun accessories and easy hairstyles." I don't see how being skinny, being able to wear a dress without a bra, or needing to go to the office is relevant to the point the poster is making regarding summer fashion.
I find your comment extremely rude and narrow-minded.
love the color of the dress , but the shape and how it looks to big on the girl i dont like.
Love this ! I probably wouldn't dare wearing a long bright red dress like that, but it looks amazing !!

I love dress! It´s great! xD
This is so pretty! <3
loveeeeeeeeee
Wow, what a lot of reaction to this one! Why do folk relate an image to themselves and not just appreciate the image as a separate entity that does not need, nor should be, emulated. Surely, as individuals, we can admire without feeling any need to replicate. Isn't that the whole point of style? Am I wrong/naive?
seriously, i NEED to know where this dress is from.
someone needs to id it or i'm going to go crazy.
Beautiful Giiiirl ! :o
http://coeur-amour.blogspot.com/
am i the only one that feels like 2 messy buns make this girl look silly? i dont think its chic or casual-just find it messy/for a 12yr-old. the bracelets also make me sweat in the heat..i think 4 would have been enough rather than 40. even just those pink ones would have looked great! beautiful dress, though we can see where its been pinned. :X
phoebe buffay? even the style looks like her :)
This dress is amazing!!! I need to know where this is from
Darling summer dress and sandals!
cute cute~~
Hey Scott, come to Chicago for next year's Pitch Fork Festival. Hotter than hell, but so many individualistic outfits. Bright colors, hats, sunglasses, I think that you'd like seeing it. Great crowd and music. Hope to see you there next year! -Kristen (Bring Garrance! Je parlerais avec elle en français!) Thanks for your great posts. I love reading and looking at them.
For those of you looking for the dress, the girl in the picture posted this info on her blog:
Dress: Fumblin’ Foe. Sandals: Joes. Jewelry: Vintage
love this girl chelsea!! that's so awesome that you found her and took her photos!!
xo ~ kristina
Dress is adorable this orange/red is HOT!! And the nude sandals are soo cute perfect with the bracelets..
love the summer atmosphere...
www.modevictim.blogspot.com
Gorgeous! She looks like a modern Rossetti. Thank you so much for the inspiration - both to the woman and to Scott. Imagine my amazement at discovering an equally stunning dress in the same flame orange at a thrift store today! Received SO many complements as I made my way around town wearing it, and in 40C is was a blessing!
I live in Sydney and it is freezing here at the moment...this is gorgeous!
right!
it's cool!!!
