3-Step Guide to Summer Looks
This summer is about iced matchas, rooftops, sunshine, and sparkle. Even if there is no trip planned, summer in New York calls for looks that turn heads and keep you cool. Whether strolling by Central Park or shopping in SoHo, this season is about embracing your inner Star Girl. ALIVE has the perfect dresses for this summer, from breezy mini dresses to glittery dress sets, to adopt your Star Girl Summer. Here at ALIVE, we have created a 3-step guide to help you have the perfect Star Girl summer.
Summer Looks
1st Step: Pick your Color, Set The Vibe 💖
Every Star Girl starts by picking the right colors and the right vibes. Are you feeling bold and fiery? Picking a hot red or an electric orange will complement this vibe. Or do you want to keep it cool and warm? If you then wear a butter yellow or a baby blue, like the Baby Blue Skyshine Mini Dress will go perfectly. Or maybe you want to have a coquette, feminine vibe, in which case, the It Girl Bubble Mini Dress and the Polka Dot Darling Mini Dress are the perfect dresses to match your vibe. Let your color choice reflect your mood, your plans, or your personal take on the Star Girl aesthetic. At ALIVE, we’re all about making a moment with minimal effort, and nothing makes a statement faster than the right color. Whether you’re grabbing matcha in the West Village or hitting a rooftop downtown, your dress should match the vibe you’re creating. Think of color as your mood board in motion — one that turns heads, captures sunlight, and sets the stage for your full Star Girl summer.

2nd Step: Let The Fabric Do The Talking 🪡
Now that the colors and the vibes are set, it is time to play with textures. We believe that a Star Girl doesn’t just blend in, she glows. The Summer is the season of light and shine, that’s why your outfits should catch the light in all ways possible. The Candy Glow Set is the perfect piece to shimmer with every step. Another perfect match is the Noir Starlight Mini Dress, with its glitter black ruffles and flowing skirt. This mini dress is an instant eye catcher. Whether it’s a sequined mini, a metallic two-piece, or a silky dress that hugs your frame just right, fabrics that reflect the light give instant glam with minimal effort. REMEMBER! Do not be afraid to mix textures or silhouettes, a Star Girl is confident with her outfit. The key is movement and shine: you want your outfit to feel alive, just like the city around you. At ALIVE, we design with this glow in mind — pieces that catch the light and the energy. Because when you walk through New York in a dress that sparkles, you don’t just enter the room — you light it up.
3rd Step: Finalize Your Summer Looks✨
What makes a Star Girl special is the details– once you pick a dress, the styling begins. Accessories are the real game changers to elevate your look and give it your own twist. This summer, there are many accessories that you can pick from to enhance your look. For example, chunky jewelry from brands like En Route and Arena Roja is perfect to fit this trend. An accessory that will never fail is sunglasses. No matter what style, sunglasses go perfectly with any vibe you are going for, especially during the summer. Chunky sneakers are also a great way to present an effortless-chic look in the city. If you want a more elegant look for a night out, kitten heels will be the best option for your look. Lastly, a nice bag, like a clutch or a tote, will finish your final look and allow you to be ready for anything during the day. With ALIVE’s bold pieces and your styling touch, you’ve got everything you need to own the moment. A true Star Girl doesn’t follow trends — she creates them, one accessory at a time.
