NYFW street style is back in full swing, and the city’s sidewalks have once again become a runway of their own. This year, the eclecticism of NYFW street style speaks to an embrace of individuality, with show-goers and fashion enthusiasts weaving together retro influences and modern statements.

As per usual, bold colours and daring silhouettes dominate the scene. Pops of bright reds, yellows and brat-green are mixed with earthy tones like burnt orange and chocolate brown – but monochrome outfits also reign supreme, with head-to-toe white or black ensembles creating a polished look.

New Yorkers have a knack for elevating minimalist fashion, and this year, oversized blazers and structured tailoring are making a mark. The oversized suit – paired with a kitten heel or platform boot – is the new uniform for the style-conscious, while streetwear staples remain a cornerstone, but with a twist: cargo pants and baggy jeans are being paired with corset tops, bringing in a balance of casual and sultry.

Footwear, of course, is all about the extremes – knee-high boots battle it out with delicate, strappy heels. The adidas sambas remain among the crowd-favourite sneakers on display too.

Accessories are bolder than ever, with statement earrings, layered chains, and oversized sunglasses elevating even the simplest outfits. Micro-bags have beens swapped for more functional (and capacious) ones, while crossbody bags are making a comeback for the fashion-forward who favour function over form.

Below, we round up some of the best in NYFW street style for your sartorial consumption...
