Brazil Vibes

It’s been 12 years since I visited Brazil for the first time. And while returning to see friends and their family last month was special enough, one doesn’t just go to Brazil to socialize and head home. The surroundings invite you in as much as a loved one would.

I spent the majority of my trip in and around São Paulo, a city that’s often dubbed the NYC of Brazil in the way it moves and presents itself—and because of the 12 million people that live within city limits. Its modern architecture and combination of fashion influences (partially due to the absence of big brand names) creates a uniquely crafted sartorial look. Still very much on trend and chic, but outside the confines of a heavily branded economy. Yes, that is as lovely and refreshing as it sounds.

Below is my dream wardrobe for walking around São Paulo chasing the next plate of yucca fries. You don’t even need a flight to bring these Brazil vibes home.
