Street Style: beach bums show off breezy looks at Ashbridge’s Bay

Ashbridge’s Bay, the east-end park that includes an expansive (if slightly pebbly) beach, is one of the best ways to escape soaring city temperatures without hitting the highway. It was no surprise, then, that on a sweltering mid-August Sunday the place was packed with swimsuit-sporting sunbathers, sweaty volleyball players and picnicking families. (The only area that was noticeably absent of bodies was the lake itself.) Beach-goers tried hard to flaunt their most effortless sand-and-sun attire, whether that meant a brightly patterned sundress paired with an equally bold headpiece, an airy cover-up complete with quirky shades or a triangle bikini topped off with delicate body chains. Here, some of the best hot-weather looks from Ashbridge’s Bay.
