Lab $tyle: Summer Outfit 1.0
$cientst. Own It. Wear It. Be It.

Being a nerd = no doubt coolio awesome.
Looking like one = not so much.
What’s a $cientist to wear?
It’s hella hot outside… blame it on the sun
It’s hella cold inside… blame it on the AC
This should get you through the hot summer days:
Long linen pants and a sleeveless cotton blouse
Short-sleeve A-line cotton shirtdress
Mixing pops of color with neutrals keeps it cool, real, and fun.
A pair of Mary Janes (in lab) and open toe wedges (out of lab) transition you between the inside and outside. Don’t forget to add a lightweight cardigan and a fantabulous pair of socks (think Happy Socks) so you don’t get HCl on your skin.
Items clockwise from top left: Ruffle Blouse, Pleated Dress, Open-toe Wedges (Marni), Cardigan (Uniqlo), Mary Janes (Marni), Linen Pants (Sea NY). Found at Barneys NY, Uniqlo, and theoutnet.com

In an era when our oceans face unprecedented challenges, Prada has masterfully combined high fashion and environmental stewardship. At the core of this transformation is SEA BEYOND, a visionary initiative developed in partnership with UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission. Since its launch, SEA BEYOND has transcended mere aesthetics. It is fostering ocean literacy through immersive educational programs, artful exhibitions, and active community engagement that speaks to the urgency of protecting marine ecosystems.
Summer exhales effortless elegance, and no look embodies that like a timeless white dress. In the heat of these sun-drenched months, a crisp or flowing dress isn’t just an outfit. It is an invitation to graceful simplicity. The gentle allure of a white dress recalls a refined beauty. This Summer, Dosha Dressing is punctuating the white dress perfectly with a dash of blue. Imagine a rich ocean blue echoing the intensity of Pitta’s deep waters, or a delicate sky blue that speaks to Vata’s free-spirited wanderlust. Specifically, Summer blues work to prevent dosha-specific inflammation. Pitta experiences dermatitis, Vata IBS, and Kapha an increase in edema.
Summer is not just a season- it’s a state of mind. But before you surrender to the tyranny of sweat and frizz, consider that Dosha Dressing is borne out of an ancient remedy that has been quietly dictating balance for centuries: Ayurveda. Your leading dosha- Vata, Pitta, or Kapha- shapes how you experience the world, including the way your body reacts to Summer’s merciless heat. Translation? Dosha Dressing isn’t just stylish- it’s survival. And this season, we are feeling shades of blue- from ultimately cooling and calming to vividly ardent. This is the color to beat the heat while elevating moods from East to West.
Beyond fashion, the feet hold potent Ayurvedic marma points- gateways to circulation, balance, and vitality. Whether stimulating Kshipra (big toe) for movement, Talahridaya (sole center) for grounding, or Gulpha (ankle) for agility, shoes are not merely chosen- they are prescribed.
Spring love is arriving warm in silk, cashmere and fluff. Red with a splash of vanilla and snuggle of gray bring tridoshic energy to warmer temperatures and extended sunshine.
The ceaseless response to fear of rejection, criticism and uncertainty forms a prolonged rhythm without inserting a resolution check-point. Creative and profitable expectations are akin to nerves propagating electrical messages in continuous motion when their receptor connection signals them to keep producing. This pressure can crash the nervous system and personal harmony. Unless, one does as Marc Jacobs: recognize how to work the positive and the negative. The last three collections are evidence that Jacobs clearly appreciates the need for fear- emotionally and cognitively.
Popping non-EtOH bubbles and shining bright. No doubt, dressing up adds cheeriness. Not only for the person who dresses up, but also for the people around us. A lot of people find it inspiring. Infectious, even. Is a Fashionable $cience droplet not preferable to an influenza infection? This NYE, we take monochromatic looks out for a night on the town. Or maybe don our shiniest attire for a glitzy night in marathoning with Jacques Tati. After all, personal energy, or doshic constitution, stimulates feelings of luxury.
Seasons change, moods transform, so let us revamp our outfits to reflect our seasonal awareness. Pitta needs to cool down her mind and body after a sultry Summer. Vata and Kapha get to embrace these cooler seasons. Head-to-toe beige, blue and grey speak volumes about personal energetics taking over a fresh time of year.
Let us prevent soars in cortisol with easy dosha dressing for Summer escapes to the Hamptons.
Prevent getting lost in a sea of whites by being the prism that disperses the fantabulous colors of personal energy.
These pairs set the foundation for a lifetime of cool Summers… your doshic energy is the only seasonal trend
