Comfort on Coney Island, Baby!

coney1This past Saturday New York played host to the Siren Music Festival on Coney Island and while I wish I could have been there to experience the music and the fashion, I must live vicariously through street style photographs. There were definitely some prominent styles that graced the boardwalks of Coney Island and could easy be adorned for walking the boardwalks of Toronto. More men than women sported denim cut-offs fraying just above the knee, which is a nice change from the less fashionable board shorts and bathing suits men usually pass off for shorts. Women, as per the season, were showered in floral prints from their headscarves to their t-strap sandals. As well, white proved to be a reoccurring theme, keeping music lovers cool in the warm sun. However, one theme was prominent overall – the theme of comfort. And why shouldn’t it? All day in the sun in 30 degree weather is not the best playground for platforms and a black bodycon dress. It’s nice to see that some hipsters are opting for more body-friendly garments that allow them to breathe and move the way one should, especially at a summer music festival! Loose cottons, flowing dresses, and comfortable shoes are the way to go. Fashionistas: keep this kind of comfort in mind when travelling to the beach, a cottage, or a music festival. Comfort does not equal frump. It’s all in how you wear it. Look for relaxed garments in fun patterns, that way you will stay comfortable and still be up to date on the latest colour trends. It’s time to relax and enjoy the summer in comfort and style!
