A crazy week of weather during New York Fashion Week, including snow, sleet, and frigid temps, amounts to endless outfit inspiration. Editors, stylists and buyers were challenged to find creative and stylish solutions to dress for the elements.
They embraced key winter textures like suede and shearling to faux fur and quilted outerwear to stay warm. We spotted lace-trim dresses and bootcut jeans making a comeback too. Ahead, see and shop the best street-style looks from New York Fashion Week.
1. The Quilted Topper and Black Wash Jeans
Instagram’s head of fashion partnerships Eva Chen knows a thing or two about dressing for the season. With numerous fashion weeks under her belt, she opted to play with texture, wearing a quilted coat and denim, and kept the color palette all black. Try adding, as Chen did, a bit of bling, like a gold chain belt to cinch around your waist. Cap the look with Chelsea boots and Ray-Ban wayfarer sunglasses, or if you really want to go there, the Meta-camera-version Chen wears.
2. The Chocolate Cardi and Cream Slip Skirt
Fashion’s fallen hard for sweet shades, like chocolate brown and this year’s Pantone color of the year: Mocha Mousse. The hue pairs naturally with cream; we love this midi skirt in satin or silk. Wrap a sweater around your neck like a scarf (a trend we spotted in Copenhagen too). For an elegant touch, add black leather opera gloves and a baby suede bag. This faux version from J.W. Pei is a steal at under $100.
3. The Suede Outerwear and Crimson Red Pants
Speaking of suede, it’s the season’s breakout texture and still going strong. Pair a suede jacket with trousers in bright crimson for an unexpected texture-meets-color pairing. Keep accessories on the practical side so they don’t compete. Add a warm and extra-wide mohair scarf and a crossbody bag to stay hands-free.
4. The Vintage-Style Lingerie Dress and Faux-Fur Coat
We clocked the return of the Phoebe Philo-era lace trend and here, you can see its elegant appeal. Style it with a faux-fur coat, silver jewelry, and a studded bag.
5. The Long Brown Shearling Coat and Bootcut Jeans
For a retro feel, take a page out of Kendrick Lamar’s book and embrace bootcut jeans. Style them with a longline brown shearling coat and top it off with slick accessories, like an east-west bag and a pair of oval sunglasses.
6. The Oversized Moto and Pleated Trousers
You can never go wrong with a classic moto jacket; it’s a timeless staple. We love the oversized silhouette seen here, worn with a cozy black turtleneck and your favorite work trousers. The Row’s Igor pleated pants are an investment-worthy purchase you’ll turn to over and over again.
7. The Cropped Faux-Shearling and All-Denim Pairing
The Canadian tuxedo is an iconic look for good reason. It always works. Style it with a faux-shearling jacket and a large brown tote.
