Not long ago, you might have found yourself all dressed up with nowhere to go. Or, more likely, you weren’t dressed up at all. But that was then, and this is now. June offers plenty to do. Here in New York’s Meatpacking District, a flower festival (free and open to the public) will fill the Downtown neighborhood with blooming buds. Over in Aspen, The Food and Wine Festival kicks off. And should you be wanting to take a trip to the metaverse, Roblox welcomes you Gucci Town—Web3’s must-visit fashion destination. More on all of these—plus outfit suggestions!—in June’s edition of What to Wear, Where.
“Set It Off” at The Parrish Art Museum, Watermill, New York
On View Through July 24
Curated by Racquel Chevremont and Mickalene Thomas—a.k.a. Deux Femmes Noires—“Set It Off” is a show led by six female artists, including Leilah Babirye, Torkwase Dyson, February James, Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Karen Olivier, and Kennedy Yanko. With pieces scattered throughout the Herzog & de Meuron-designed art museum, the show picked its contributing artists based on one thing: those who have boldly, “set it off” in some way. It would only be right to visit the exhibition wearing works by female designers who have done the same. Start with Gabriela Hearst’s cashmere and silk midi dress and then slip into suede sandals from Veronica Beard. Finish off your look with a fun clutch by Cult Gaia and a Marlo Laz necklace.

Call it a house party, but one of the more chic iterations. Each year, the Philip Johnson masterpiece hosts a garden party on its storied property to raise funds for the house. A ticket includes a picnic lunch from Elm, a performance by tap dancer and choreographer Ayodele Casel, and tunes provided by Paul Sevigny [As well as an exclusive edition by Mickalene Thomas -Kavi Gupta Gallery]. Dress for the occasion in something that honors the venue’s stripped-back and pared-down aesthetic. We like Caroline Constas’s flowing white maxi dress, Ancient Greek Sandals’ black leather slides, a single hoop from Annie Bing (less is more, after all), and a slick Marni crossbody bag,
