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 (opens in new tab) and Marcel Castenmiller (opens in new tab), 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.
Outfit Idea #1: Mix stripes with abandon. We love the movie star glamour of a blousy top and midi skirt.
