I would match the stylishness that we see everyday in the streets, parks, work and play spaces of the DMV against any locale in the world and feel confident that our love for sartorial presentation will always carry the day. But let’s face it; summer can be a challenging season for looking cool in DC. It’s hot for one thing, and for another, maybe nobody has outright announced that in the war between T-shirt designers and short sleeve shirt makers for guys, the T-shirt designers have pretty much thrown in the towel. That means guys now have to fork out more $$ to keep showing up cause buying a quality fashionable short sleeve can put a dent in your weekly beer budget for real!
It’s a lot easier for the ladies of the DMV. The style choices are as diffuse as ever, from long cotton dresses to lycra under a sheer blouse. Shorts still make a statement and stylish exercise wear will get you into a lot more places these days. But a trend to take note of is the very cool hats gracing the heads of so many ladies this summer. It’s either a hat or an immaculate hair style and both serve a purpose. They pull the eyes in their direction and deflect a thorough examination of what’s worn beneath. Very big help for the summer because all-in-all, the DMV was batting about .275 in Everyday Style when we hit Malcolm X park on the first Sunday of the summer.
