New York Fashion Week SS 2013....Preetma

Market Editor WSJ, Preetma Singh, after A Show, NYC, September 2013.

Dear New Yorkers, just so you know, we in London are entirely jealous of your early Spring weather. My iPhone weather app tells me that you are having highs of 26°C (78°F) this week?! What's up with that?!

While we are still huddled up in coats and jumpers, you can wear board shorts (yes, they were men's board shorts that Preetma was wearing! Love.), short sleeve shirts and summer sandals....

Recreate Preetma's look (kind of):

Pick up a pair of boards shorts in the men's department (or borrow from your man, brother or roommate), or if you are worried about fit, try a pair of these just-for-girls boardies: Jonathan Simkhai leather board shorts,Thakoon Addition chambray shorts, Clover Canyon Fools Gold board shorts,  Topshop Boutique board shorts, Clover Canyon Miami Streets shorts, or Jonathan Simkhai curve boardshorts

Dsquared2 Donna Martin boxy shirt, Hakaan Angelica cotton shirt, Current/Elliott The Prep School shirt, Topshop oversized tunic shirt or Equipment Slim signature blouse

Sandals: Nicholas Jocelyn Tubular sandals, Gianvito Rossi cutout leather sandals, Tibi Amber 1 Band sandals in nude, mint or blue, Topshop Newbie mid heel sandals (a little lower, and fab leopard print), Alexander Wang Antonia high heel sandals, Gucci colourblock sandals, or ASOS Hong Kong heeled sandal
