PUBLISHING COND́́É NAST New York, NY
Home to Vogue and famously snarky when it comes to wardrobe
malfunctions, the rule of thumb here is to look as stylish as possible. That doesn't mean you need to shell out big bucks for an all-design- er wardrobe, though—your current one, with some key additions, will do just fine. Be mindful of current trends (this summer’s include army fatigues, denim, stripes, lace, and cream blazers) and incorpo- rate them into your personal style. Accessories can make all the difference in looking fashionable.
If your style is more Ralph Lauren than Balmain, that’s all the more reason for you to stock up on bold jewelry and statement-making handbags. Since you will probably be doing a good amount of walk- ing around the city, layering is key—and so are comfortable shoes.
INVESTMENT PIECE: As tempting as it is to spend the Balmain
summer in spring’s platform Miu Miu Mary Janes, invest in a good pair of flats or lower heels for running arround town (open-toed is acceptable). Rag & Bone, Marc Jacobs, Maloles, and Antik Batik all have killer summer styles that will complement most outfits.
EDUCATION TEACHING INTERN, THE KINKAID SCHOOL HOUSTON,TX
As a teacher, looking professional yet approachable to children is
crucial. As much as you may love Gareth Pugh’s architectural designs, severe, angular cuts are not the wisest choice for teachers. Instead, opt for loose fits—draping is popular this season, so look to gath- ered tops and skirts to soften your look. Pair them with cropped, boxy jackets for balance. Loose doesn’t have to mean shapeless. When it comes to shoes, err to the side of practicality—flats are
ideal for long stints at the chalkboard, as well as for running after unruly tots. A pair of leather sandals will almost certainly prove use- ful, as will a chic tote for graded papers and first-aid kits.
INVESTMENT PIECE: This season’s popular cropped, paper Rag & Bone
bag-waisted trousers are the perfect staple for chilly classrooms and summer school field trips. Vince, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Theory, and Phillip Lim all included the style in their spring runway shows.
