- Structure. Living in the Northeast, we often feel blindsided by the steamy summer heat—especially in July. We sweat and hope for relief from the sweltering days that stretch on without end. But Southerners? They’re prepared for the fiery embrace of summer, sporting cool, structured outfits like this charming lace blouse that’s perfect for those who can’t bear thin cotton anymore. And let’s not forget the delightful lace skirts and shorts!
- Detailed Summer Attire. While New Yorkers scurry along sidewalks in oversized, heavy black cotton, Draper James offers summer wear with finesse. Picture a chic silk tank with grosgrain detailing that looks effortlessly stylish without compromising on comfort.
- Unique Summer Fabrics. I tend to allocate most of my clothing budget to cozy fall and winter garments, often underestimating the length of summer. Why not embrace a broader range of materials? A tweed mini-skirt, for instance, can add a refreshing twist to your summer wardrobe.
- Tailored Pieces. I’m over shapeless summer outfits that are dubbed “effortless.” Give me tailored styles like this stunning belted dress that has already flown off the shelves!
- Rompers that Aren’t Rompers. The trend of adults donning toddler-like outfits is one I can’t quite endorse. However, I do appreciate this floral tank and shorts combo that strikes the perfect balance between easy-breezy and sophisticated.
- A Stylish Cover-Up. Finally, there’s a charming alternative to the ubiquitous shawl. This lace cardigan provides a fresh option for those cooler summer evenings.
- The Charm of “Y’all”. In a city where only one Southern friend clings to their “y’all,” it’s refreshing to see items like a bag that says “totes y’all” and an iPhone case that reads “hush y’all.” These little reminders keep Southern lingo alive, even in a sea of New Yorkers.
- Embracing Floral Prints. New Yorkers often lean towards dark, somber wardrobes, whether winter or summer. However, Draper James is all about reclaiming vibrant floral prints. From belts to greeting cards to an array of blouses and dresses, the floral aesthetic is alive and well!
- Delightful Paper Coasters. Each set of these coasters features charming Southern sayings, like “pleased as punch,” and makes me yearn for relaxing evenings on the porch with good company and cocktails.
