As told by Jessica Steele. Based in NYC.
Talk to me in 3 months and I’ll say I hate coats of any kind, but the first time I put them on each year? I love ’em. The coziness, the way you can play with layers, the mix of textures. Suddenly a sundress and sandals just seems like a distant, boring notion. So when Banana Republic gave me the chance to pick out a fresh fall outerwear combo for the season, I hit ‘add to cart’ before you can say November.

Dressing for summer in New York City poses a particular set of challenges. You want to look put together enough for meetings at the office, brunch downtown, rooftop drinks and the general level of chic that this city demands (and deserves).. but at the same time. It’s hot. Like 100% humidity, elbow to elbow with sweaty strangers enduring a subway train breeze, radiating from the pavement you stand on… hot. This chambray cutout dress from Lou & Grey is definitely up to the challenge.

There are very few brands that I consider an equal match for my beloved New York. A brand that embodies the American spirit of it, the downtown fervor, the street style cool, the uptown elegance, and the tried and true classic-ness that is this unmatched city. Coach however, is one of them. I’ve loved Coach since high school when it was my first ‘designer’ handbag purchase. In my early twenties, I picked up an appreciation for their heritage and scoured thrift stores until I found the perfect vintage 70s backpack. And in the past few seasons I’ve watched as Coach has injected an altogether modern take on their traditional brand. So when they asked me to take a few pieces from their Spring line on a day through New York, I couldn’t have been more excited to show them the town.
