This year Lincoln Center’s Josie Robertson Plaza is opening a giant, outdoor, dance floor. There will be multiple stages, with one of them boasting a HUGE 10 foot disco ball, CAN I GET AN AMEN!!!! Following their footsteps from last year’s “The Green”, it will also be filled with free performances throughout the summer. This summer’s theme is “Rejoice, Reclaim, Remember.” That alone makes me want to sweat my ass off outside on the dance floor because in my opinion, this theme is so fitting for our beloved city and all that we’ve been through as of lately. Here’s three easy outfit ideas to wear while you break down some moves.
Option 1:
So what should you wear? I’m going to tell ya hunnnayy. This is a great excuse to break out a fun outfit. Minis are back in action, along with super low waist jeans. I know FML, but for those of you you could rock it – GO GET ‘EM GIRL! If not, check out the next option. For me personally, I left that trend in the darkest depths of my past. I’m never going back. Instead I would opt for a fun pair of flared or belled jeans. A cute flowy funky printed button up top, half tucked (as per usual). Ideally the button up would be kind of transparent, so you can wear a cute bralette under it. Hello summer. Also — nipples are still in – so go for it. Shoes you ask? Bright strappy PLATFORMS BABY!!! Paired with a fun shoulder bag, lots of layered jewelry and let your hair down, girl. Get on the dance floor.
Option 2:
Ok, so maybe you like mini skirts, but have you tried a skort? These babies are perfect for summer nights where you’re dancing your heart out. I would grab a black mini skort, obviously with a slit and pair it with a white graphic tee. Something funky absolutely should be printed on it. Bright colors are a MUST this summer, OK! For your feet I’d go with high top platform converse. Super comfy and they look SO CUTE with a skirt or dress. Obsessed. For the bag I’d suggest a black bum bag. I don’t know about you guys but I LOVE BUM BAGS. They are so cute and are perfect for nights out. All your goodies are tucked away and your hands are freeee as a bird. This way you can really show off some moves.
Option 3:
This summer there has to be a denim short outfit option for all occasions. Just remember that… ok? Thigh length shorts (kind of Bermuda style but not entirely) are so in right now and I am so here for it! These are so cute paired with a white knit or satin tank. Dress it with strappy platform espadrilles, a black chunky belt and some big ol’ gold hoops and you have yourself a LEWK. Totally layer the look with a denim jacket for those cool city nights. Again, I might opt for a bum bag? Or a bucket bag maybe? I don’t know. I have to see my vibe for the night. It’s all about the vibes. Either way you’ll be looking adorbs and ready to dance your night away.
Now you’re ready for Lincoln Center’s “Summer for the City” outdoor dance floor. So grab a group of friends, rock one of these outfits and plan a night dancing under the city’s stars.
I hope these ideas help! Remember to always spice it up with your specific style. I feel like everyone looks the same these days. Try these trends but add a little bit of you to the mix. That’s the best part. Happy Dancing!
