Throughout August, we’ll be shining a light on your summer style. Here’s how Vogue Club member Katya Bychkova is spending the summer—and what’s in her suitcase…
What’s your essential summer purchase—and why do you love it?
I love pairing Hudson Jeans’ white ripped wide-leg jeans with a corset—or a button-down—and heels for work events. When I want to be comfy, I’ll wear them with sneakers and a T-shirt or a bodysuit. Unpopular opinion: Wearing pants during summer is so practical—and saves on applying sunscreen to your legs! My Norma Kamali asymmetric swimsuits (I have the same style in both black and white) are another summer purchase that I’ll pull out all year long: I’ll wear it on the beach with a sarong, beach shorts, or a skirt, and during the colder months I style it as a top under a blazer or a sweater.
Where’s a place you love to visit—and what makes it special to you?
Japan. I’ve been a Japanese literature and culture fan since I was a little girl, and later it attracted me from a culinary standpoint. (Also, as a dog lover, I’m dying to check out Shiba Inu Cafe in Tokyo!)
