Cleveland is a city that really comes alive in the summertime! It offers fabulous weekly festivals like Edgewater Live and Wade Oval Wednesdays where live music, food trucks and a general good time turn up in abundance. On Wednesday I decided to check out the Summer Solstice Celebration at Lakewood Park – known for the somewhat newly (2015) constructed Solstice Steps where local residents gather each night to watch the sun set over Lake Erie.
While I rarely wear shorts anymore, I decided to this night. Hey, if you can’t wear shorts in Cleveland on the longest day of the year, when can you? This pair (and the top) are older items in my wardrobe but the shorts reminded me a bit of a current pair from Sandro. The pink and black combo takes me back to my 1980’s teen years!
Natty Gal,Could you offer suggestions on how to pull off the tunic/legging look. I’m having a hard time finding things that don’t look too matronly or too floaty. Also, I can’t tell when you should wear leggings as opposed to skinny jeans. Any advice would be appreciated. – J
Dear J,Thanks for following Natty Gal and writing in! Leggings are one of my favorite things to wear because they are so comfortable and they pack well when we travel!
Natty Gal Tips for Wearing Leggings:
Skinny jeans work well with both longer and shorter top options. A shirt dress can be paired with either skinny jeans or leggings as layering piece when worn open as a vest. A few ideas to inspire your creativity are shown below!

Look 1
An easy resort look for summer vacation.
Look 2
The navy/black combo and moto jacket help give this look an urban (yet comfy) vibe.
A longer top would enable these looks to work with leggings as well.
Look 1
A bit more summer-y! Leave the shirt dress unbuttoned and wear as a vest over the tee.

For taking the look into fall, pair with a long cardigan and booties.
