Arguably one of the best parts of New York Fashion Week is getting to see wild trends come alive via street style. Some people will don head-to-toe designer fashion, while others wear an eclectic mixture of pieces that, for all we know, they found for $5 at Goodwill. The beauty of it all, though, is that it doesn’t matter—as long as you look runway ready. The street style from NYFW 2019 so far has been the perfect mix of chic and absurd, and has given us fashion inspiration to last 20 lifetimes.
If you’ve ever paid any attention to NYFW, you’ll notice the guests of shows seem to put just as much thought and effort into their ensembles as some of the designers do with their collections. (Granted, putting together one iconic outfit is very different from creating an entire collection of original looks.) If you’re going to attend NYFW, you want to turn Anna Wintour’s head with your outfit. And while that’s basically an impossible task, the desire to look cool AF during NYFW still permeates those fortunate enough to snag invites to the fashion shows.
In case you need a little outfit inspiration, we’ve rounded up our favorite NYFW street style looks so far. Brightly colored suits, wild pattern mixing and plaid featured in ways you’d never expect all make this list one for the damn books.
