5 Outfit Ideas for the US Open
The US Open is one of my favorite end-of-summer events in New York, and it also happens to be one of those occasions that is particularly fun to dress for. There’s no need to show up looking like you’re about to take the court, but a little nod to classic tennis style feels perfectly appropriate.
Bonjour!
