MEREDITH OBERG

21, student

What are you wearing? Rozae Nichols dress from Anthropologie, Target tights, velvet Dr. Martens.

Describe your style: Kid at an ice cream sundae bar.

Where do you find your style inspiration? My friends, pretty ladies, boyfriend's closet, the Internet.

How do trends influence your style? If it makes me feel good then it can't be bad, right? I try to stay away from really obvious, over-the-top trends.

JUSTIN ROASE

32, production manager

What are you wearing? Gitman Bros. Vintage shirt, Rogue Territory pocket square, Levi's 501 jeans, Sperry Top-Sider beef roll loafers, all from Greenwich Vintage.

Describe your style: Urban American heritage.

Where do you find your style inspiration? Icons like Paul Newman and Robert Redford really knew how to dress.

What's your best summer night-out outfit? It's always changing. Right now it's short sleeve button-down and a pair of chinos with some Vans.

EMILY RATHBUN

22, student/nanny

What are you wearing? Urban Outfitters shorts and shirt, necklace from Primp, shoes from Nordstrom.

Describe your style: Bold, colorful and classic.

Where do you find your style inspiration? Magazines, street style, but really whatever I feel comfortable and confident in.

Best summer night-out outfit? Short floral dress with fun heels and whatever jewelry I'm in the mood for.

NATALIE SOLES

23, intern with the Children's Defense Fund

What are you wearing? Dress from Target, Rocket Dog shoes, my mom's earrings.

Describe your style: '50s nostalgic with current pieces.

Where do you find your style inspiration? I find it in what I see others wearing and in the pages of Vogue -- even though I could never afford any of it.

How do trends influence your style? Only if they are flattering on my body type. Being fashion current doesn't matter if you wear something that looks bad.
