I'm a Native New Yorker—These Are the 5 Summer Outfits I've Worn for Years
Elaine Davis has lived in New York City for 50 years. As a native New Yorker, she's built a fashion-forward and easy wardrobe given that she's always on the go. She's also become a master at putting together equally effortless and chic outfits for her life in the city. On that note, there are a few key summer uniforms Davis has been relying on the most.
"Over the past few years, I've realized that, like the fall, winter, and spring seasons, getting dressed in the summer months is so much easier when I incorporate a few uniform outfit ideas into the lineup," Davis said. "This allows me to always have an effortless look ready for any occasion."
