Shop the Best NYC It Items

last updated 29 October 2018

New York is one of those magical places where you can spot the birth of trends in real time. Diverse, culturally rich neighborhoods with fashion across the gamut all weave together to showcase a city that is, simply put, never short on style. In the spirit of our love for NYC, we set out to discover what the current It items are in the city, and we did so by turning to Manhattan-based women on Instagram. Scouring their accounts, we found a mix of aesthetics: flamboyant prints, streetwear-inspired accessories, and a couple of new cult brands we suspect will be everywhere shortly. Thankfully, all of these pieces are shoppable (for now!), which means you can add your picks to your closet no matter where you call home. Scroll down for 11 statement items we're excited about right now.

Trademark

Shearling Cooper Cage Tote

This NYC-based label creates bags and shoes that consistently become cult favorites. This little sucker is no exception.

Emme Parsons

Certo Mules

We've been eyeing Emme Parsons's footwear for some time now and can't get enough of her interpretation of mules for fall. If white seems too daring, rest assured she also offers these in other colors that go with everything.

Dôen

Jane Blouse

This breezy bohemian label is nothing short of dreamy.

Saks Potts

Dorothe Polka Dot Wool Jacket

'Tis the season for a fresh assortment of statement jackets and coats, and what better brand to turn to than Saks Potts? Its selection is reliably sweet and playful.

Hayward

1712 Embroidered Leather Basket Bag

You've likely seen and subsequently fallen in love with a Hayward bag by now. For a while, it seemed as though every influencer and editor was carrying one version or another of the brand's Shopper Bag. We love this embroidered tote for fall for the office and weekend outings.

Alexandre Birman

Dallas Metallic Slide Mules

Did someone say holiday party season?

Batsheva

Western Print One of a Kind Cotton Midi Dress

Say hello to your new favorite dress brand.

Ganni

Blakey Zebra Print Trousers

Ganni's selection of prints this season is especially inspiring.

Alxndranyc

Vintage 14K Yellow Gold Scalloped Leo Pendant

Jump on the pendant necklace bandwagon!

Laval

Utility Bag

We love an affordable bag that stylishly hovers between trend-forward and subtle aesthetics.

Khaite

Christina Coat

The easiest way to love your style for fall and winter is by investing in a coat you love, like this plaid beauty by Khaite.
