Uninterrupted Fashion Trend in West Village: Continuously Popularized Non-White Dresses Paired with Flip-Flops Among Fashion Enthusiasts
In the heart of summer, it's time to refresh your wardrobe and explore beyond the traditional white summer dress. This season, tan dresses are making a striking statement, offering a classic, sophisticated, and neutral alternative that's perfect for any occasion.
Jennifer Lawrence recently graced the West Village in a stylish tan number, donning The Row's Riah dress - a sleeveless, wool-blend, tailored dress with a high neck and a hem that hits just above the ankles. She paired the dress with a black stone necklace, Ray-Ban sunglasses, a large tote bag, and Havianas thong sandals, setting a chic example for us all.
If you're looking for more summer linens and cottons that are heat-wave approved, J.Crew and Anthropologie have got you covered. Banana Republic is also offering 30 trousers, linens, and button-downs as part of their sale, with up to 60% off.
But tan isn't the only colour to consider. Butter yellow, ballet pink, pastel green, French blue, citrus green, tomato red, powder pink, and saturated jewel tones are all trending this season. Soft pastels like butter yellow and ballet pink offer light, airy looks ideal for warm weather, while bolder colours like tomato red and citrus green provide vibrant options for those wanting more punch.
When it comes to footwear, ballet flats in woven or suede materials complement soft pastels like butter yellow and ballet pink, providing a delicate yet practical summer shoe. For bolder or more casual colours, neutral sandals, espadrilles, or white sneakers can balance stronger hues like citrus green or tomato red and keep the look fresh. When wearing prints or rustic styles (like florals or embroidered tunics), boho sandals or casual slides enhance the relaxed summer vibe.
Eliza Huber, an NYC-based senior fashion editor, suggests trying tan dresses as an alternative to white summer dresses before fall's arrival. Huber, who specializes in trend reporting, brand discovery, and the intersection of sports and fashion, joined the platform in 2021 from Refinery29.

And let's not forget about athletic shorts. They've been worn with the wrong shoes, but this article provides the correct way to style them. For a chic and stylish look, pair your athletic shorts with sandals or espadrilles.
Kylie Jenner and Alexa Chung have been seen wearing attractive skirt-and-sandal combos, inspiring an emergency mani-pedi. Even J.Lo has changed her airport fashion to include skirt and sandal trends.
