Best Street Style From New York Fashion Week

The couture, the models, the parties. Fashion week is full of fabulous fun, especially for those style mavens who live for this time of year. Fashion week is also a time for street-style stalking, also known as people-watching. Sometimes, the sidewalks are more exciting than the catwalks, as people dress up to be seen, and have their photos snapped.

What makes street style looks so much fun for fashion lovers? The best street style is original, daring, aware of trends but not defined by them, and makes you do a double-take. So what were the trendsetters wearing in New York? From the Matrix-inspired to Normcore 2.0 to accessories worn in innovative ways (it’s the glorious return of the fanny pack) to jewel-studded leather and lace, sock booties, and luxe altheisure, the New York-style set sure knows how to pull looks.
