The Double-breasted Tuxedo Travels from Wall Street to the Staff of the W Downtown

Where: 123 Washington Street [map], New York, NY, United States, 10006

Ah, summer in New York City. It's a time for rooftop terraces to open, European tourists to trek up and down the streets of Soho, and hotel cocktail waitresses to shed clothing and strip down to outfits more suitable to hot, hot weather. Usually that means mini-dresses at the trendier hotels, but for the W Downtown, it's a really cute tuxedo shorts set.

The new outfits—designed by Lyn Devon—are inspired by the conservative suits of nearby Wall Street, livened up with a bit of silk satin trim. Somehow they manage to provide more coverage than a skimpy dress, yet look infinitely sexier. We approve! In fact, we wouldn't mind wearing this as an everyday look.

To catch the girls in their double-breasted tuxes, head up to the W Downtown's Living Room Bar on the 5th Floor. We recently spent a nice afternoon there, chilling, but the tuxes weren't yet in season.
