If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere – but can you make it through a summer? It’s no secret we love New York at Journelle. After all, it’s where our headquarters and three of our store locations are, with a new one in the works. But with scorching hot temperatures, city life can begin to feel a little intense. Fortunately, the boundless energy of the city provides a long list of ways to cool off and enjoy. And since you won’t be doing much sleeping in the “City That Never Sleeps”, we have the perfect lingerie to wear, too. Here’s our top list of NYC summer activities and what to wear.
Make Waves at NYC’s Beaches
It’s time for another summer spent in the sun at New York City’s beaches. Open for swimming, sunbathing, socializing, and all your favorite summer activities, we love Fort Tilden Beach or Rockaway Beach. Pack a cooler, your SPF, and put on a sustainable swimsuit from Underprotection, like the Cora Swim Triangle Top & String Bikini.
Check in at the Perfect Rooftop Pool & Hotel
We love this option for many reasons. First, a nice hotel with air conditioning is the perfect luxury and escape from the heat. Second, a rooftop pool provides not only a place to swim and sip on something refreshing but a breathtaking view of the city we love most. What could be better? Several of New York City’s finest hotels offer day passes for their rooftop pools, or make it a staycation and stay for the night. Look ultra chic in a one-piece swimsuit from Underprotection, like the Rose One Shoulder Swimsuit.
Stroll a Secret Lavender Field
Transport to the South of France and breathe in the heavenly aroma of lavender at one of the city’s best kept secrets. Take a ferry to Governor’s Island where you’ll find the NYC Lavender Field in all its lovely glory. The field is free to visit, and late June or early July is the perfect time to do so. When visiting the only lavender field in the city, it’s important to dress the part. We love the Celine Open Back Cami in Lavande or the best-selling Anais Bralette in Lavande with matching panties.
Screen a French Film in the Park
And on the topic of France, home to our other favorite city, why not catch a French film in the park while wearing your French lingerie? In honor of the 2024 Olympics in Paris this year, the French film festival is back with a sports-themed lineup. Screenings begin at sunset and are free to the public. The festival is hosted by Villa Albertine, and this year’s edition features 11 French films with English subtitles across Manhattan and Brooklyn parks.
Stargaze on the High Line
We know the perfect date night spot. Every Tuesday, this dreamy and romantic activity offers you an astronaut-worthy view of the stars from the high-powered telescopes of the Amateur Astronomers Association. Stargazing at the High Line takes place from sunset to 30 minutes before the park closes each Tuesday. Match the after-sunset shade of the night sky in our sexiest black lingerie, like the Sapna Bodysuit in Noir or Isabel Balconette Bra in Noir with matching panties. Feel like glowing in the dark? Try new Allegra in shade Chartreuse.
