Lessons From Street Style on Bringing Beach Vibes to City Dressing

Lessons From Street Style on Bringing Beach Vibes to City Dressing
Photographed by Phil Oh

Clicking your heels won’t land you in the Mediterranean or by the Jersey Shore, but it is possible to manifest vacation vibes with what’s already in your wardrobe. Labor Day is a little over a month away, so now’s your chance to repurpose the button-down you used as a cover-up at the beach to create a breezy city look. Crochet can also make the transition from sand to subway, as can short-shorts. And don’t forget summery stripes in popsicle colors.
