“The top is Wes Gordon, and it was $850. It’s totally sheer and easy but completely structured. It gets tons of compliments. I’ve been wearing it with hot pants.”

“I love wearing this top with these mustard skinny jeans because the colors remind me of a sixties beatnik. I don’t normally wear black, but I love how it’s a great base for color-pop nails and lips.”

“The top is from Acne, and it was $1,160. I was initially attracted because of the metallic pieced leather. But I had to have it when I saw that it had a sheer tulle back. Such a delicate touch!”

“I can wear this Topshop shirt with almost anything. Tucking it into a black leather pencil would give it a more ladylike but edgy twist.”

“This top is from Vintage Thrift. It was $125. The zipper down the side makes it so easy to get into. It’s a nice little reminder that New York isn’t completely picked over.”
