My 7 Favourite Street Style Trends From New York Fashion

In the blink of an eye, New York Fashion Week came and went. For a brief moment a school of fabulously fitted influencers, stylists, editors and designers all appeared in the American fashion capital to witness the offerings of the best designers in town. Whilst the runways lit up with daw-dropping designs, the city streets were privy to outfits that were equally eye-catching. 

Below I have chronicled seven of my favourite trends spotted in the streets of New York this fashion week. Read on to discover the sharpest street style ideas straight from New York.

1. MONOCHROME MOMENT

Keeping it simple, show-goers were spotted in cleverly layered monochrome outfits. Focusing on excellent cuts and considered accessories, New York’s fashion elite showed us that sometimes, simpler is better.

Shop the trend:

Mango

Contrast Shawl Collar Structured Blazer

Style with the co-ordinating look for a low-effort, high-impact outfit.

Layering up with a white shirt and black accessories.

Reformation

Nelle Knit Dress

The perfect evening dress.

The Row

Nita Strapless Wool And Silk-Blend Cady Midi Dress

The Row does elegant tailoring like no other.

2. UPDATED WAISTCOATS

This summer saw the classic waistcoat step away from the three-part suit to become a wardrobe hero in its own right. Looking towards SS24 it’s clear that the waistcoat will remain in favour, but with a few key upgrades. Seen in New York in longline shapes and with varying necklines, the new season’s shapes are looking smarter than ever.

Shop the trend:

Saloni

Bibba Square-Neck Twill Waistcoat

This deep green tone is perfect autumn styling.

Rag & Bone

Salde Linen-Blend Vest

Style with the top two buttons undone to create a chic collar.

Aligne

Kim Longline Waistcoat

The deep-V is the perfect base for layering necklaces.

Jil Sander

Belted Viscose-Blend Waistcoat

3. DROPPED WAIST DRESSES

We’ve seen the style set ditch high-waisted jeans in favour of low-rise styles over the past few months and now it seems that trend has moved onto dresses. Much like 1920s, the 2020s are seeing waistlines drop, for an elongated torso and added visual interest.

Shop the trend:

Strapless dresses are trending this season.

Toteme

Dropped-Waist oOrganic-Cotton Jersey Midi Dress

Pair with simple sandals or knee-high boots.

& Other Stories

Tank Top Midi Dress

This looks more expensive than it is.

Ulla Johnson

Stella Embroidered Broderie Anglaise Cotton Midi Dress

This scallop-trimmed dress pairs perfectly with natural fabrics.

4. BOXY BLAZERS

Nothing screams chic like a perfectly oversized blazer, so as fashion week rolled around, it was only natural that the fashion set were out en-mass styling the formidable garment. Worn with equally oversized layers, the boxy blaxer was right at home on the NYC streets this week.

Shop the trend:

Frankie Shop

Bea Single-Breasted Canvas Jacket

According to the Who What Wear UK team, this is the perfect oversized blazer.

Cos

Double-Breasted Wool Blazer

This generously sized garment pairs well with jeans or dresses.

Arket

Oversized Wool Blend Twill Blazer

I’ve been eyeing up this blazer since its release.

Style with a white tee or an elegant blouse.

5. UNUSUAL PRINTS

A stark difference to the Copenhagen Fashion Week attendees, the New York City lot swapped beige and brown for all things bold. Block prints and fierce florals peppered the streets offering a playful tonic to the runway looks inside.

Shop the trend:

Mango

Printed Textured Dress

Layer up with knee high boots and a leather jacket as we move into the cooler months.

No brand does prints quite as well as Rixo.

Ulla Johnson

Fernanda Gathered Floral-Print Stretch-Jersey Turtleneck Dress

If you asked me to find you the perfect autumn/winter dress, I would guide you to this number.

Prada

Printed Silk-Blend Midi

Everything about Prada is luxurious.

6. LONG-LINE SHORTS

Deny it all you want, pedal pushers and their baggy friends are back with vengeance for SS24. Styled up with retro accessories, the longline shorts were a fashion favourite on the city streets this week.

Shop the trend:

The Row

Wool-Blend Bermuda Shorts

Ease into the long-line shorts look with this smart set from The Row.

Vivian Striped Woven Shorts

Style with a navy cashmere jumper and knee boots when the weather starts to cool.

House Of CB

Halima Slim-Fit Stretch-Woven Capri Trousers

M&S Collection

Magic Shaping Denim Knee Length Shorts

This comes in five other colours.

7. GO FOR GOLD

Whilst silver trousers and skirts are a London-girl favourite, the New Yorkers have opted for the bolder metallic, favouring statement items in glistening gold.

Shop the trend:

16Arlington

Tania Sequinned Tank Top

Amy Lynn

Lupe Front-Slit Faux-Leather Midi Skirt
