Capital! Style: Summer 2010

As summer finally hits the bricks and we welcome fall with open arms, let’s take a look back and see how some of your fellow Richmonders managed to still look their best during those godforsaken months — heat and humidity were no match for these stylin’ folks.

Every good Richmonder knows that no matter how hot and humid it gets, using the weather as an excuse not to look your best means you’ve given up on life.  This summer, the folks below woke up in their sweaty bedrooms, shook their fists at the sun, and murmured “I’ll never surrender” as they got dressed every morning.  To these faithful ones: thanks for always having the energy to leave the house looking like a human being.  It’s appreciated.
