I’m A Fashion Editor, and I Found So Much Cool Outfit Inspiration In NYC

Recently, I took a trip to NYC, and the amount of cool, stylish outfits I saw had my brain working on overdrive. As a fashion editor, I’m always on the lookout for new sources of style inspiration. While I’ve embraced my California-girl era, I’ve decided to take some of these killer looks I saw on repeat in NYC for a spin. I hunted through the depths of the internet retail world’s virtual isles and found pieces perfect for bringing these simple, summer-friendly outfit combinations to life.

As far as the looks go, they’re all pretty simple and exude a level of effortlessness that’s super attractive. Think simple tops with roomy, flowy bottoms. These combos are the perfect backdrop for accessories experimentation and more. If you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe with some new inspiration, then keep scrolling to unlock your new favorite look.

I'm all about jean shorts with a longer inseam this summer. Throw on a classic tee and top it off with your handy dandy pair of chic boots.

Parachute pants are still trending, and I simply can't get enough of them. The roominess is so comfortable and the style is pleasing to the eye. Add on a cute baby tee and platform thongs to shake things up.
