We’re officially in the middle of that weird time of year in which it might feel like summer one day and fall the next. And on the days when it still feels like summer, it’s understandable if you don’t want to keep dressing like it’s mid-July. So what’s one to wear? The outfit Zoë Kravitz just wore in NYC is an excellent idea.

If you’ve spent any time in New York lately, the all-black outfit Kravitz was photographed wearing will probably look familiar, because it includes the skirt trend and classic flat-shoe style all the cool New York girls are wearing (Kravitz included, clearly). The skirt is a knee-length slip skirt, and the shoes are a pair of high-foot ballet flats, which she paired with a black tank and wraparound sunglasses. Wear this, and you’ll fit right in from Tribeca to the Upper East Side.
