last updated 14 August 2019

Take a quick browse through our massive New York street style roundup, and you'll notice a few key trends like bold outfits mixing unexpected color combinations, the most covetable footwear, a certain Balenciaga bag on nearly every fashion influencer, and loads of the same jean style. The biggest street style trend in denim in NYC right now? It's 100% a straight-leg pair of jeans in a perfectly light wash.

To give you even more of a visual (and to make sure your jean selection is set with the style for fall), we're sharing the denim street style moments from stylish women around the city (visiting and residents) below and our favorite straight-leg, light-wash jeans at the end.
