While New Yorkers tend to dress well all year round, their fall style is where it really gets good, IMHO. As soon as the weather cools, you can spot NYC girls breaking out chic new outerwear looks, test-driving the latest denim trends, and playing around with some creative layering ideas. Following the fashion-week shows that kicked things off in September, we’re now taking cues from these stylish New York women and their fall-ready looks.
We’re all leaning into low-key, casual dressing these days, and this fall, we’re predicting the vibe will still be the same. From elevated legging looks to comfy knitted dresses you can wear both inside and out, we’re looking to the below nine NYC fall outfits to guide our style.
Take your leather-jacket looks to a whole new level by opting for trendy puddle trousers that feel especially fresh. Throw on a baseball hat for a casual finish.
Extend the shelf life of your vest sets by wearing them as tops now and layered under blazers when the weather gets colder.
If you do wear jeans, make this casual formula your new go-to. Wear loose-fitting or wide-leg denim with a basic tank, tee, or bodysuit, and top it off with a blazer and flats. It’s simple but looks so chic.
Just because we’re no longer wearing sweats 24/7 doesn’t mean we’re ditching them completely, either. In fact, we have a newfound appreciation for a matching set in a pretty color. Wear one with tall socks and throwback sneakers for the ultimate cozy-cool vibe.
Knit dresses are another cold-weather trend that’s deceivingly comfortable and easily dressed up or down—it all depends on the shoes and accessories.
Slip dresses rose to a new level of popularity this summer, so we predict that fashion girls will keep wearing them into fall with the addition of a cute cardigan thrown over.
If you wore the shacket trend last fall, well, congrats, because it’s not going anywhere. Look for one that’s printed or in a non-neutral color and style it unbuttoned over a monochrome base.
Fall means jacket weather—no doubt about it. This fall, longline trench coats and more are set to be the outerwear of choice among the stylish NYC set.
To give loafers (and other flat shoes) a quirky-cool update, simply style them with tall socks. Bonus points if your socks come in an eye-catching color or a pretty print.
