Summer Street Style In NYC's Soho

As the temperatures rise, New Yorkers are faced with the challenge of creating maximum fashion with minimal clothing. Spotted and photographed in Manhattan’s trend-conscious Soho, a neighborhood where Chanel and street jewelry shares pavement, these New Yorkers offer summer street style tips.

Fashion and beauty influencer Tiffany M. Battle, wearing bright red trousers and matte crimson lips, first caught our eye outside bar and restaurant, La Esquina, heading into Kenmare Park. “Something’s always happening here,” she says. “The pulse of the city inspires how I dress.”

She describes her look as “elevated casual” and calls herself “low-maintenance, high style.” Because she’s always on the move; in a cab or on the subway, Battle makes sure to choose comfortable heels and an outfit that requires no adjustments. “My motto is easy in, out, and go.”

Below, find 11 tips for summer dressing from New Yorkers, and shop the look for outfit ideas.
