11 Outfit Trends We Spotted All Over NYFW's Street Style Set

We've given you the roundup on the best trends to come from New York Fashion Week, but you know everyone's favorite part of fashion month tends to be the street style moments. While digital collections have come and gone in the past year, we've missed the fashion set taking to the streets the most. It's like a fashionable Instagram feed, but IRL. As we headed to the shows this season, we took notes of the outfit trends popping up around us, from tailored vests to crochet knits. It may not exactly have been the best fall weather (It hit 90° on some days), but that didn't stop anyone from pulling out their favorite fall pieces.

Below, you'll see the standout outfit trends spotted all over New York last week and how to shop the looks for yourself this season. We'll be checking back in with you for every fashion week, so there's only more to come.

It wasn't exactly fall weather, but that didn't stop everyone from pulling out their best leather separates and popular matching sets. We witnessed a lot of coordinating leathers on the streets. It's easy and looks forward.

Comfort was still a priority for many, with tonal knits galore. Take style notes from Noor and pair them with accessories that come in the same hue.

Vest + Coordinating Trousers

We told you a while ago that vests were the suiting trend taking over in the fall, and the street style this season proved that point even more. While we spotted some vests on their own, most were donned with matching pants.

The knit dresses spotted this past week weren't your average ones. We're talking about split cutouts and cool colorways. The best piece to pair with yours? Your favorite pair of fall boots.

Sweater + Midi Skirt + Tall Boots

While a sweater looks great tucked into jeans, midi skirts were the fashion favorite during NYFW. They hit at the perfect length to show off your favorite tall boots. Plus, dare we say skirts can be more comfortable than jeans?

Midi Dress + Clogs

Clogs are the "ugly" shoes everyone can't get enough of, and we don't blame them. Pair with a midi dress for a cool juxtaposition.

Oversize Blazer and Top + Lug-Sole Boots

Tall, chunky boots are popping up on the market, and the fashion set has been hopping on board. A great way to contrast the chunky boots is to wear an oversize blazer and top and show off a little bit of leg. We spotted this plenty on the New York streets, whether it was an oversize button-down, a minidress, or a large top and cutoff shorts.

Simple Knit Top + Printed Pants

There was no shortage of funky pants this season, and the easiest way to wear them is with a simple and toned-down knit so the loud print has its time to shine.

Tonal Suiting

Sometimes, it may be hard to find suiting in a matching set, so opting for similar hues is okay, too, as proven by the style star above. Either way, a suit in matching colors is a powerful look.

Crochet Top + Comfy Jeans

Crochet may have been a summer fashion favorite, but it's coming down into the fall as everyone's favorite light knit. We spotted a lot of crochet and knit tanks paired with jeans, making for a comfortable yet fun look.
