The Street Style Trends From New York Fashion Week AW17

New York, New York. If you want to be a part of it, you have to be in with the stylish crowd. February’s fashion week in the Big Apple tends to be iconically dressed in a coat of white snow. The brisk Winter chill never deters the fashion crowd from making a statement on their way to the shows, however. As the fall 2017 collections roll into town and Anna Wintour arrives in layers of fur, we discover the best street style trends from New York Fashion Week AW17…

Statement Sleeves

Peacock styling is usually left to the men, however this NYFW, fashion week goers have been swaying down the sidewalks in extravagant sleeves impossible to go unnoticed. A brave look that is a smidge impractical if you’re eating ramen downtown (you may end up with soy flavoured sleeves), this oversized aesthetic is actually a very straightforward way to inject an element of high fashion into your wardrobe. Zara are highly backing this trend for the season, with an array of floaty sleeved shirts and knitwear on offer. If you want to make an impact, this is the way to do it.

White Leather Boots

Camouflaged against the snowy backdrop of New York’s sidewalks, fashion week attendees hopped around the icy paths in this season’s coloured boot of choice – white. A trend unearthed from the sixties, the chic white boot is ironically boasting a rather futuristic aesthetic, this season. Worn with pops of colour and light wash jeans, New York’s stylish crowd displayed a modern art deco vibe as they rushed to the AW17 shows with a flash of white around their feet. The best factor about this trend, by far, is that you can wear these boots with anything in your wardrobe. Updating your wardrobe for the upcoming months has never been simpler.

Vintage Designer Tees

After Gucci released a replica of an archived Eighties tee shirt a few months ago, a revival of vintage, logo emblazoned tees have made a comeback. This time around, New York fashion’s finest teamed this hot-topic piece for the shows with casual tailoring and white sneakers. A play on the recent athleisure trend, perhaps, or a nod to the nineties comeback seen at Raf Simon’s first collection for Calvin Klein. When tee shirts are having a moment, it’s rather evident that leisurewear is reigning. To nail this look, opt for a classic slogan tee shirt in pure cotton and pair with structured trousers and an oversized blazer.

Mongolian Fur

The most sensible of fashionistas were spotted around New York Fashion Week wrapped up in the season’s hottest textile – Mongolian fur. Combatting the city’s winter chill, this luxurious wooly fabric has been recently noted in the form of cropped jackets and embellished structured coats. An eccentric and lavish way to add texture to your style during the cooler months, this rather exclusive sheepskin is currently at the forefront of every fashionista’s mind. Style with a pair of equally ornate block heeled boots and primary fabrics such as denim and cotton.
