Nothing against Netflix and chill, but summer means it's time to get up and get spontaneous. What to wear when you have no idea what the day will bring? Allow our models, real-life BFFs Eleonore ("Leo") Toulin and Marcel Castenmiller, to demonstrate as they spend a sizzling weekend in Atlantic City taking in the salty surf, cheesy carnival rides, and feeling-lucky casino vibes. Here's everything you need to steal their enviable style.
