Summer in Manhattan

What’s not to love about summer in Manhattan? With so much to do and such beautiful weather, the possibilities are endless in what you can do and where you can go! Not to mention that New York City is one of the most fashionable cities in the world. So if you are going to enjoy a summer day in Manhattan, you can’t forget to look the part and Chicastic has the perfect summer outfit so you can look good and feel comfortable as the temperatures rise.

The easiest way to look fashion forward in NYC is to put on a cute casual dress and pair it up with your favorite Chicastic accessories. Below is an example of how that can be easily achieved so you can enjoy an NYC outing looking and feeling like a New York fashionista.  The spaghetti strapped floral dress screams summer time and its shorter length allows for easy movement through the city without worrying about getting too hot! This pink ombre scarf, from Chicastic, is a fun piece to layer with and an easy way to get on board a summer trend. There are so many different ways you can wear a single scarf that you won’t find yourself getting bored with it at all.  Our red studded leather envelope clutch adds a funky edge to this otherwise super girly ensemble and to complete the look, our pink beaded necklace (that also comes in purple, green, and yellow) is the perfect final touch.

Whether you are a native New Yorker, or a visiting tourist, we know you will find these ideas helpful for putting together a casual summer look that you will love. Chicastic’s stock of casual handbags and clutch purses offer endless possibilities to put a look together that is relaxed, chic, and effortlessly fabulous while our unique jewelry pieces create a bold statement to your look.

Statement Pieces

Statement jewelry will always have a place in fashion no matter what, and with so many options, its hard to know what will work for you. The typical rule of thumb for statement pieces, whether it is earrings, a bracelet or a necklace is to wear a bold statement piece, then go minimal with the rest of your jewelry.  Sometimes opting out of wearing any other pieces is a good option if your statement piece is bold and daring enough solo.

For example, Chicastic’s antique style brass chain and bead necklace is the perfect statement necklace that says a lot on its own without the need of other accessories. Simple matching studs or a minimal amount of arm candy can be worn with this necklace but it isn’t necessary at all.

Statement earrings, such as the green, gold and black tassel earrings below are another option for the perfect statement piece. These earrings do not require anything else with them at all. Just pull you hair back so you can easily show off these earrings and you are good to go!

This Chicastic piece, the multi color and gold tone bib necklace is the final, and boldest example of a great statement piece. If you are wearing something with a lower neckline, this is a great option to have. Especially if you are wearing one or a few of the colors  featured on the necklace since it can easily pick them up making your entire look that much more appealing.
