Fest Dressed
by Carrie MarksIt's a given at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, you'll enjoy the sounds and tastes, but why not contribute to the visual excitement by donning a sharp ensemble? Sun, sweat and mud are no excuses for offending the fashion sensibilities of your fellow fest-goers. Luckily, plenty of style options meld casual sophistication with practicality. Brightly patterned button-up shirts offer a laid-back take on the tailored silhouette and pair perfectly with shorts in lightweight fabrics like khaki, seersucker and linen and add the appropriately retro topping of a straw fedora or newsboy cap to avoid sunburn.
