Out of all of the fashion capitals in the world, New York City is the headquarters of carefree, cool-girl energy. So it comes as no surprise that the brightest street style stars are wearing looks that embody the city’s effortlessly chic attitude. This year, the New York Fashion Week scene proved that less is more with a collection of wardrobe staples anchoring their photo-worthy looks.
From the host of blazers modernized with boxy, unstructured silhouettes to the polished loafers amplified with chunky stacked platforms, let this roundup serve as a checklist for ensuring all of your fall outfits feel fresh and of the moment.
Boxy Blazers
No longer beholden to boring days in the office, the blazer has become a street style mainstay, especially oversized designs that drape over the shoulder in a relaxed way. Keep the trend going, and style yours with matching shorts or a casual black T-shirt to create balance.
Stacked Up Loafers
Loafers will forever be a smart shoe to turn to during the fall, but the way street style stars are making them feel new again is with the addition of a thick sole. Whether it’s a subtle lug sole or an exaggerated platform, it’s that little detail that makes loafers feel cooler than ever.
Sultry Sheer Skirts
One of the most divisive trends for quite a few seasons now has turned into a street style staple. The key to making the skin-revealing look work is to think of the peek-a-boo garments as a layering piece. Let the sheer fabric hang below the hem of a longline shirt or pair it over shorts to balance the see-through look.
Double Dipped Denim
The Canadian tuxedo is poised to be the star this season. And there are so many fun combinations to try, from a trucker jacket with fitted denim to a trench coat with barrel jeans.
New York State of Mind
There’s no place like New York City, so it only makes sense to represent our hometown. This season, love for the Big Apple was shown on sweatshirts, hats, and so much more.
Go Go Cargo
Whether in dopamine-inducing colors or classic denim styles, the cargo pant continues to be a cool-girl-approved staple to have. Pair yours with a cozy knit or layered shirt for instant sartorial success this fall.
