The first warm day of the year awakened a sense of joy in east coast workers, prompting them to embrace unusual spring fashion amidst fluctuating temperatures. Long lunches outdoors and a Slack outage encouraged people to shed winter layers and soak up sunlight, even if it meant mismatched clothing combinations. Brooklyn's streets featured individuals mixing summer and winter attire, showcasing a playful defiance of seasonal norms. This spontaneous shift offers a temporary uplift to those experiencing seasonal depression, illustrating the strong connection between weather, mood, and fashion.
This week, I feel like everyone was juggling the need for some warmth with their eagerness to show skin, said Freya Drohan, a New York-based fashion writer.
These spring-teasing days never last; a 60F (15.5C) Saturday segues into Monday's blizzard.
People were nicer, life slowed down. And then there were the haphazard outfits people put on to celebrate the unexpectedly beautiful weather.
Most confounding to Drohan was the woman wearing knitted wool booty shorts and legwarmers over semi-sheer black tights.
