STREET STYLE
O
Manny, born and raised in Astoria, is
a drafter for Rigging Consultants
(@riggingconsultants). His cable-knit
sweater, dress shoes and sunnies
came together nicely for a day of
hanging out with friends.
Jennifer (@auntumnleavez) lives in Astoria and
is an accountant. She describes her style as “laidback,”
and I totally agree — but I would add that she
knows how to add the right amount of shine to her
leggings and sneakers. I loved her coat adorned
with sequin sleeves, and don't even get me started
on her purse! Gorgeous!

n a cool but sunny Saturday morning, it was a delight to
look around and see western Queens residents walking
around, brunching with friends and enjoying their days
off. As you will see, Astorians’ looks did not disappoint.
In fact, they were quite impressive.
I love when the chill isn't as harsh and the day is warming
up and locals all get creative in showing off their
own personal edge. I noticed outfits that were bold, shimmery,
buttoned-up, and casual but stylish.
Michael, who runs
a theater company,
was enjoying a day
of shopping and
defines his style as
“eclectic.” I liked
how he paired his
tan coat with a
funky scarf and
button-down
shirt. Casual
with style.

(@christaramus)
works for Yelp
and said her
style is “unique
but comfy and
simple but
bold.” She was
awesome to
photograph.
She gave me
all the poses
in order to
highlight the
bold print on her
ensemble and
knew how to
rock those boots
and bucket bag.
