It’s official, summer is over and the post–Labor Day weekend depression has sunk in. The one thing we can all look forward to, though, is fall fashion. The season of sweaters, boots, trench coats, and turtlenecks is upon us! If you’re local, your first opportunity to break out those items will be during New York Fashion Week, happening September 11 through 16. To help inspire your street-style looks, we rounded up the best trends to wear during New York Fashion Week.
Keep reading to see how to style and shop trends including nontraditional lace, skirts over pants, bloomers, and argyle sweaters.
Nontraditional Lace
Lace in the nontraditional sense — whether sheer, embroidered on a hemline, or gothic inspired — is back and bound to be dominating the street style scene this NYFW. It’s breathable and lightweight, so it’s the perfect material for layering. The daintiness and femininity of lace also create tension and interest when paired with more structured, masculine items like blazers.
Skirts Over Pants
The skirt-over-pants trend isn’t new, but it’s the perfect combination for NYFW when the name of the game is finding ways to repurpose items you’ve already worn. Whether you want to channel an oversize version of the trend shown at Collina Strada or a more sleek look inspired by The Row, the silhouette and layered effect of wearing a skirt over pants is incredibly cool. This trend also works well with a flowy midi- or minidress.
