There’s nothing like a trip to New York City to cure a sartorial rut and during my most recent trip to the city there was certainly no shortage of style inspo. Downtown, uptown, Brooklyn, and back—everywhere I went I saw incredible look after incredible look. Since NYC is often where trends originate, I wasn’t surprised to see so many in the wild. There were a few repeat offenders that I noticed literally everywhere and now can’t stop wearing myself. From the color of the season to the must-have shoe styles, here are the trends NYC girls are wearing right now.
COLORFUL SNEAKERS
A pop of color always adds a fun point of interest to an outfit and the women in NYC are doing so by way of bold sneakers. Low tops, high tops, sporty styles, and classic ones—all are being paired with everyday attire like denim, dresses, and trousers.
