The heat is on and New York City ladies are stepping into the sunshine as summer is just around the corner. Before you restock your closet for warmer days, check out these emerging trends!

Blazers with Dresses

If you’re pondering a way to make those strapless floral frocks appropriate for the office, consider pairing a blazer with your outfit and slipping on a pair of heels or chunky espadrilles. The result? Professional with a side of whimsy. If your closet is filled with LBDs, consider a floral blazer for a vibrant touch. We like this heart-printed boyfriend blazer from Topshop.  $110, topshop.com.

Be sure to choose a lightweight fabric for those sweltering summer afternoons, and remember to consider skirt or dress length when piecing your outfit together. Tuxedo blazers should be paired with shorter skirts, and cropped blazers look lovely with pencil skirts. We like this C&C California number, $110, at shopbop.com

Fedoras

Kevin Federline might have given the fedora a bad rep, but we’ve noticed that it gives just about any outfit a fresh, put-together feel. Straw fedoras worn with floral maxi-dresses will create an edgy, bohemian vibe; you can also channel the Olsen twins with skinny jeans and chunky ankle boots. Check out this uber-feminine fedora from Juicy Couture. $58, at Bloomingdales.com.

The next time you go out with the girls for salsa dancing and margaritas, throw on a fedora. A fitted cocktail dress combined with a black fedora (and a feather for the daring!) will help you look sassy and fashionable. Here’s a great option from Village Scandal for $64, thevillagescandal.com
