If there’s one thing I look forward to as much as the runway shows during New York Fashion Week, it’s street style. There’s something about seeing how people interpret trends in real time. Whether it’s a duty model that makes a statement from the editors, influencers running between shows or easily pulls apart the coolest looks. This season I have been paying attention to outstanding pieces and styling tricks that felt fresh. The postseason season reveals that personal style is thriving more than ever.
After a week of non-stop costume spotting, I narrowed it down this season to seven key trends that truly defined NYFW street style. Some of them were expected (the Cape Court was highly predicted to have a moment this year), but others surprised me in the best way. Whether you’re looking for a simple outfit upgrade or you love catching up to the next one, these are trends that everyone has been talking about.
New York Fashion Week Street Style was about these seven trends
1. Sporty meat is refined

Style Notes: This season, fashion audiences have mastered the art of mixing athletic pieces with sophisticated tailoring, proving that sporty, refined and refined can go hand in hand. Track jacket with pleated skirts, a sweatshirt with a soft suit has a soft suit for the right contrast to keep things interesting.

Style Notes: Tights were not just a must-have for layering. They were the focus. Playful prints, lace details and bold colours peer in from underneath the skirts and dresses, adding personality to the cold weather dressing.
