In honor of the July 29 return of "
Jersey Shore," we hit the boardwalk of Seaside Heights, NJ, to see what the
juice heads and guidettes are wearing
this summer.
Between GTL, scoping the Shore Store, and most importantly, fist pumping like champs, we were able to find some great
Garden State style.
The best dressed by far?
Snooki,
JWoWW, and
Sammi, who passed by while we were shooting, rocking dresses and heels to cruise the boardwalk.
MTV was also shooting, so the
overly tanned trio had no time to stop and be honorary
street-style participants.
While one woman described Shore style as "unique and couture," another said it was "mostly guido with
booty shorts and revealing tops." Hmm... seems we've got ourselves a
situation.
Browse the photos in the below gallery and judge for yourself.
