what to wear: dc jazz festival

There is just something about hot summer nights, ice cold beverages and smooth jazz music that go so well together. As we turn the pages of our calendars to June we are welcomed with a plethora of jazz related events that will be occurring around DC. Just one of the reasons why we love June so much! There are hundreds of performances going on all around the DC area but our favorite of the bunch are the events that occur at The Hamilton Live June 10-16th. So if you are in need of letting loose and dancing the night away, then DC Jazz Fest is just the thing for you.

So if you have a love affair with jazz music and live in the DC area, then DC Jazz Fest is something you can’t miss.

Now that you have your concerts all lined up for the month, you will have to find something fabulous to wear. And we found the perfect outfit that will keep you looking and feeling cool all night long. We recommend wearing comfortable layers with wedge sandals, and don’t be afraid to have some fun with your outfit. Speaking of fun, these sheer lace pants with sewn in shorts provide the perfect storm. They will keep you from overheating while you are showing off your moves on the dance floor. The sleeveless vest is great for layering and can easily be taken off when things start heating up. You also can never go wrong with a great suede fringe bag like this one … a total statement piece!
