After a week of running uptown, downtown, and even across bridges—and in pairs of heeled pumps, no less—New York Fashion Week has officially come to a close. With certain collections on the lips—and wish lists—of almost every editor, from Tessa Chan’s revival of Chan Luu and Kaia Gerber’s fierce opening at Khaite to Kallmeyer’s natural elegance, it’s clear the runways aren’t the only thing setting the tone for the season ahead. The street style scene has made just as strong an impression, and transitional outfit inspiration has never looked better.
New York Fashion Week Street Style Highlights:
Think a chic mix of classic Levi’s with minimalist thong sandals, flashes of royal purple and cherry red, perfectly tailored trousers with heeled loafers, and a slew of statement accessories that take everyday ensembles to new heights. (Floral brooches, fringed silk stoles, and beaded shell necklaces, to name a few.) Statement skirts are also having a moment, from Zara’s fresh floral find to patterned Dries Van Noten picks. Elsewhere, industry insiders are juxtaposing feminine pieces with touches of sport—a styling trick carried over from seasons past. There were even sightings of the season’s finest outerwear, from Arma’s sumptuous suede bombers to Róhe’s spotted cheetah-print coat.
Don’t fret yet! Just because NYFW has wrapped doesn’t mean the outfit inspiration stops there. Keep checking back to see—and shop—as we update this edit with more of the chicest outfits from the month-long fashion extravaganza. Next up? London!
Fall Jacket Trend Predictor
Celebrate the first glimpses of fall like Vogue’s Talia Abbas: in a new suede jacket from Arma. Styling-wise, Aflalo’s jeans are a no-brainer, while Ancient Greek Sandals’s red PVC flip-flops hold onto that summer feeling just a little longer. Otherwise, lean into Abbas’s signatures with a great white V-neck tee, colorful beaded necklace, and Chimi’s sold-out Giada shades (the Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1969C are a similar pair in her regular rotation).
Tie a Scarf Around It
Scarf styling remains one of the industry’s favorite tricks for creating outfit interest. For a welcome dose of texture and color in an otherwise all-black look, tie Chan Luu’s paisley-print scarf around a pair of fluid balloon trousers and consider it a fall trend two-in-one. A cropped lady jacket keeps the look refined, while slip-on mules in vibrant yellow ground things on a bold note. Finish with a woven handbag and tortoiseshell shield sunglasses.
’90s Grunge
Courtney Love, who? That’d be Vogue’s Mai Morsch in a look that fuses ’90s grunge with everyday minimalism. Like most of Morsch’s outfits, a clean-lined black maxiskirt lays the foundation, while a slinky grey tank keeps things cool—literally. A flannel shirt tied at the waist nods to the iconic era, while her slouchy suede shoulder bag and black shades keep the look firmly rooted in the right now.
Attention!
Once part of uniform, now a symbol of effortless cool, the military jacket has claimed its place as a must-have on the streets of NYFW. Like this showgoer, style yours with an equally utilitarian staple: khaki cargo pants. Bring a more fashion-minded feel to the pairing with accessories from Toteme and Balenciaga, then finish on a trendier note with a long beaded necklace from Chan Luu.
Purple Reign
There’s no denying it: royal purple is everywhere. Fashion insider Jalil Johnson is an early adopter, pairing his eggplant-colored crewneck with a cherry-red button-up—a color clash we saw more than once this NYFW. True to his maximalist sensibility, a vibrant raffia bag and beaded shell necklace complete the look, while black jeans and simple loafers keep things grounded.
Working Nine-to-Five
From the office to the front row, Vogue’s Madeline Fass knows how to make workwear feel modern, chic, and, most importantly, never boring. Outside the Ulla Johnson show, she turned to a grey funnel-neck blouse and a pair of heeled loafers from Cos. She tied everything together with a woven leather belt, statement earrings, and simple black shades.
Try on a Statement Coat
It may still feel like summer outside, but the time for strong—yet still lightweight—outerwear is now. Case in point? This spotted duster from Róhe. Take a styling cue from this showgoer and give the statement coat a transitional spin with easy blue jeans, a lightweight tank, and heeled sandals. Alaïa’s bowling bag and Lié Studio’s sleek sunglasses round things out without competing with the coat’s main-character energy.
Accessories That Steal the Show
This season, accessories are taking everyday looks to new heights—and injecting plenty of personality along the way. Here, an otherwise simple black button-up and trousers get a major lift from a dramatic feather brooch and fringed silk scarf. The best part? This outfit couldn’t be easier to recreate. Start with your wardrobe basics, then let one—or two—statement accessories do all the heavy lifting.

Fresh Fall Florals
Florals for fall are a given, but this season, they’re moodier and richer than ever. This Zara midiskirt is the perfect example. Styled with a blue striped button-up and a pair of metallic ballet flats, it offers a welcome dose of print and, dare we say, opulence? Gold jewels double down on the decadence, while a bag from The Row is a failsafe final touch.
Small Statements
Lauren Santo Domingo is no stranger to a statement-making look. But this time, it’s her accessories—a fringed silk scarf and crochet mini bag—making us take a closer look. Together, they turn an otherwise monochromatic moment into something inherently chic with just a hint of playfulness.

Brooching the Subject
Ever since Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Resort 2027 show, floral brooches have become fashion’s favorite way to elevate the everyday. Vogue’s Madeline Fass gets the memo, pinning a black brooch onto a menswear-inspired tuxedo jacket, then keeping the rest of the look pared back with ivory denim, a V-neck white tee, and Savette’s chocolate-brown top-handle bag.
All-White After Labor Day
Yes, you can wear all-white way after Labor Day. Just ask Vanity Fair’s Kia Goosby. Over the weekend, she sported the ultimate transitional take: Toteme’s crinkled summer trench, Aritzia’s lace-trimmed slip skirt, and a lightweight Everlane knit for when temperatures dip. The Row’s India tote in a matching hue completes the monochromatic mood.
Updated Lady
Fall’s Updated Lady trend is taking not only the runways by storm, but the street style scene, too. Case in point: This showgoer tempers the ladylike polish of a tweed Chanel skirt with a loosely tucked white button-up. Low-heeled black pumps make things sophisticated for day to night, with Fendi’s snakeskin-effect clutch offering a luxe finishing touch that similarly, can work all hours.
Everyday Bohemia
Bohemia gets an everyday update here: Dries Van Noten’s colorful wrap skirt is grounded by a simple grey knit and tassel loafers. Layer in a turquoise necklace for a hint of color, and sling a woven tote over your shoulder for an earthy edge. Dorsey’s crystal earrings provide just the right amount of sparkle.
Double the Fun
Róhe’s double-waistband trousers are soon to be on every fashion girl’s wish list. Get a head start on the styling by taking a cue from this chic showgoer who paired it with a quarter-sleeve tee, heeled sandals, and a chunky beaded necklace for texture. A simple black handbag and pair of shades allow the statement trousers to do all the talking.
All About the Necklace
These days, no minimalist outfit is complete without a statement tasseled necklace. Vogue’s Libby Page has certainly put her stamp of approval on the trend, as seen here with a collarless button-up and black maxi skirt. Her signature heeled thong sandals sharpen the pared-back pairing, while a slouchy shoulder bag and Phoebe Philo cat-eye sunglasses accentuate the mood.
Fancy Feet
Vogue’s Naomi Elizée confirms: The oversized blazer with a lace-trimmed slip dress is fall’s go-to combination. True to the fashion editor’s maximalist style, her accessories were just as statement-making. Shearling-lined heeled sandals dial up the texture—and flair—while Alaïa’s east-west handbag keeps things sleek. Don’t forget a pair of tortoiseshell shield sunglasses.

Pop of Red
A pop of red remains insiders’ favorite way for taking an ordinary outfit—here, a white button-up and jeans—to the next level. Cos’s crimson clutch delivers the color hit, while Manolo Blahnik’s mahogany heeled flip-flops keep the palette rich. Add classic Ray-Ban Wayfarers and Cartier’s elegant Baignoire, and consider your look front-row approved.
Suede Story
For seasons now, suede jackets have dominated the New York street style scene—and just days into the spring 2027 shows, the It item prevails. Sport yours with a classic outfit formula: a white tee, tailored grey trousers, and a silver-buckle leather belt. Then, take a cue from the fashion crowd and give your fall handbag a playful update with a cool bag charm.

The Little Black Jacket
Little jackets are the perfect piece of transitional outerwear—they offer coverage without feeling too heavy. Styling-wise, pair yours with fluid balloon trousers and a burgundy silk scarf tied at the waist, then add a shell pendant necklace for one last nod to summer. Otherwise, rely on your go-to finishing touches: Alaïa’s black leather Le Teckel bag and a pair of tortoiseshell Celine sunglasses.

Cat’s Meow
Vogue’s Lisa Aiken shows us how you can get the most of of your summer dresses with a few choice extras. A vibrant green knit around your shoulders works wonders for slightly cooler evenings, while low-heeled sandals and a structured black bag (hers is Savette) feel on-point for the day’s warmer temperatures. Ray-Ban shades and Agmes’s sculptural cuff—two of her style signatures—keep the final look city-friendly.
Transitional Tailoring Tricks
Leave it to Vogue’s Madeline Fass to make Bermuda shorts feel just right for early fall. Pair Anine Bing’s tailored cream pair with J.Crew’s black V-neck knit and Khaite’s low-heel pumps, then break up the classics with a zebra-print clutch and long pendant necklace.
Chartreuse Is Calling
Take a cue from Vogue’s Mai Morsch and punctuate a classic black-and-white look with a pop of chartreuse. Banana Republic’s crisp button-up and The Row’s slinky skirt set the foundation, while Liffner’s chartreuse bag delivers an unexpected hit of color. Tie a grey knit at the waist and slip into Reformation’s low-heel pumps for an easy transitional finish.
Track Star
Channel Vogue’s Naomi Elizée’s signature maximalist style by mixing sporty separates with high fashion finds. Think a vintage-inspired raglan tee and striped track pants teamed up with a polished low-heel pump and vibrant handbag. Miu Miu’s shield sunglasses and a chunky Celine bracelet put the final outfit in first place.
Print Clash
You can always expect industry insider Tamu McPherson to show up at NYFW in a fabulously playful look. Her latest outfit is the perfect example. Go for a clash of prints by wearing a checked button-up with a flashy spotted midiskirt. Then, slip into a pair of bright red socks with a neutral heel and tie the entire look together with a classic leather belt, structured bag, and pair of dramatic sunglasses.
Western in the City
Like Vogue contributing editor Laurel Pantin, take your transitional wardrobe out West with a bold buckle belt and pair of cowboy boots. Christopher Esber’s distressed leather jacket doubles down on the Western mood, while J.Crew’s pinstripe trousers and a sleek black Everlane turtleneck keep things refined. Finish with a pendant cord necklace for a modern touch.
Watch Out for Windbreakers
We’re always on the look out for those It items that seem to pop up on everyone during NYFW. So far, this week’s early contender has to be Polo Ralph Lauren’s emerald-green windbreaker. Give the sporty staple a fashion-girl twist by dressing it up with a little black slip skirt, a pair of low-heel pumps, and a structured top-handle tote. Expect to see a lot more where this came from…
Business on Top, Party on the Bottom
’Tis the season for a statement skirt. Dries Van Noten’s printed picks are an undeniable crowd favorite, worn here with a classic navy-blue blazer, suede penny loafers, and a Gucci handbag. Polish off the look with Jacques Marie Mage’s sculptural tortoiseshell sunglasses—you know, for seeing all the finest fashions up close.
Horse Girl
Add Chloé’s horse-detailed belt to the list of trending NYFW finds. Even when paired with the simplest of staples—a crisp white button-up and earth-toned denim—it packs a real fashion punch. Finish things off à la CBK with classic Ray-Ban Wayfarers, Toteme’s snakeskin-effect clutch, and The Row’s kitten-heel pumps.
Hat’s Off
We’re tipping our hat to this next street style look, which stars one of the season’s sleekest accessories: the knitted bucket hat. The rest doesn’t require much—think a silky striped button-up, tapered black trousers, and a simple black handbag to match. For one last fashion flourish, loop a long sculptural necklace around your neck, like this one from Le Sundial.
