I wanted this edition of “The LowDown” to reflect what’s hot in wearable streetwear this month. Festival season is still in full swing and everyone is cherishing what’s left of summertime, so we’re all dressing for those fun fairs, BBQs and other outdoor events. So I focused on and was inspired by bohemian, gypsy style, as well as modern designer fashion with clean, crisp lines and the right amount of relief from the still sizzling heat.
Boho Festival Wear
Floral (smocked) sun dresses (pair with a light cardigan or suede blazer at night!)
Bandeau (bikini) tops with high-waisted shorts
Vests paired with a tee (especially those with patterns, prints or fringe)
Printed scarves (worn bandit-style or as a bandana!)
Floppy, felt hats (with plumage)
Feathers and stone or crystal jewelry
Fringed Moccasins
[See exclusive photos of Gina's style picks from the fashion shoot in Sandusky HERE.]
Clean & Modern High-Fashion Wear
Wearing WHITE! (Show off that suntan — Labor Day is swiftly approaching!)
Black or white sheer/lace button-down shirts (left untucked with a pair of short-shorts)
‘70s-inspired accordion pleats
Knee-high skirts (especially one with a flirty side or back slit)
Wide-leg & Cropped Trousers (with a loose-fit tank)
Small shoulder bags (athletic, leather, metallic; look for bags with gold-toned hardware)
Tall boots (with shorts or a sleek skirt)
