NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: Ripping winter threads to shreds

POSTED: Wednesday, June 8, 2011, 10:00 AM

Neighborhood Watch looks for Philly’s most fashionable. This week, our newest style team, Diana Campeggio and Kelsey McGlynn, braved the heat in search of this summer’s most popular trends — and they worked on their tans in the process.

Lauren

Philadelphians have a way of putting their own spin on style and with this week's heat wave, the term “less is more” is more fitting than ever. Case in point: Lauren, who we stopped on South Street after spotting her unique style from a block away. She told us she spends most of her time shopping in thrift stores and converting her winter clothes into cropped tops and shorts. She says she looks forward to “wearing less clothes and more bikini tops” this summer.

Tina

Tina was relaxing in the shade in Rittenhouse Square Park when we asked about her floral duds. She says she bought her top and sandals at H&M, and her spandex tights are from Aerie. She's more than ready to break out her cropped tops and razorbacks.

Kate

Kate’s love for bright colors was obvious as we approached her in Rittenhouse Square Park. She’s a big fan of J. Crew — both her sundress and cardigan were recently purchased there. She looks forward to wearing dresses and skirts this summer, and packing away her long pants until the cold months roll around again.
