Overseas Tips on What to Wear to McCarren Pool

Did you hear that UK retailer Top Shop is coming to town this fall? Before they cross the pond, however, Williamsburg is Dead points out that they have some tips on how to dress for the McCarren Park Pool Parties (where they've temporarily set up shop). Apparently nothing says a sweltering New York summer in a concrete pool like a nice warm woollen beanie!

The store arrives in town, by the way, about a month (or more) after the last McCarren Park Pool party. For now, however, they have a blogger covering each Sunday show, and a Hipster Gallery (you're better than that, Top Shop) featuring photos taken by Nicky Digital, the poor man's Cobra Snake. (H&M would never stoop so low.)

The shades are 80's london kitsch. They looked like shit then and do so this very day. I think the city should fill the pool with water now, to "test out the plumbing".

They really aren't the first retailer to point out the specific Williamsburg location where their item is to be worn -- Fed Flare is selling the Bedford Ave scarf for the location-conscious fashionistas:
