The Shorts Suit

Summertime always has a more casual feel; from outdoor BBQs to a day spent by the pool, my summertime outfits rarely get fancier than a silky dress. While some of this is because I don’t do well in heat and New York summers are like living in a sweaty shoe, it’s also because if I’m not wearing a breezy dress then I’m likely wearing casual shorts and a billowy top. It’s only from seeing Jill Stuart’s spring/summer 2012 collection that I even considered a shorts suit. What a way to look polished without sweating your ass off! Expect to see me sporting one of these fancy numbers in the next few weeks. I’ve currently got my eye on a denim one by Acne.
