“This is a great daytime summer outfit,” Palaez said of this athleisure-inflected get-up, which nevertheless “lends itself to a little fun personal style with the vintage blouse.”  

“You can walk around very comfortably in sneakers, and I really like the pairing of athletic shorts with vintage tops,” she says.

You can also wear it to brunch,” she says. “I think it's cool enough, and it's really lightweight. So for summer days at the beach or walking around, it's great.”

“This is just easy and casual,” Pelaez said of this extremely au courant white-on-white look. “I think this is a fun outfit because it's so versatile. You could wear it in New York City, but you could also wear it in any other town or city, because it's not too fashiony, if you will, but it's also super crisp and clean.” 

“You could look really fashion in a [capital-F] Fashion context,” she pointed out, “or you could just look really put together and clean in a countryside context.”
