11 New York Fashion Week Street Style Looks to Recreate Now
The NYFW street style scene offered a masterclass in city-chic dressing. While there were plenty of lavish looks to admire, it was the fashion set’s elegant approach to elevating humble classics that stood out most—thanks to a mix of playful and polished styling tricks. Take Lisa Aiken’s spin on the black pencil skirt: She opted for Toteme’s feather-trimmed midi, styling it with a cropped leather lady jacket, a cherry-red button-up, and Khaite’s python-effect handbag—a lesson in mid-winter personality dressing. Elsewhere, insiders turned up the sartorial volume on blue jeans, timeless trench coats, and crisp button-ups with a standout accessories—think sequin handbags, oversized sunnies, and on-trend glove flats.

A little more on the outerwear. None proved quite as sought after as leopard print, whether in the form of Arma’s spotted jacket or Toteme’s luxe calf-hair coat. Vogue’s in-house minimalist, Madeline Fass, continued to champion the roomy leather jacket, while Naomi Elizée made the most of a simple grey overcoat by pairing it with the season’s hottest hues—royal purple, fire-engine red, and electric cobalt blue. Other street style signatures appeared across the snowy NYFW streets, too, from Prada’s straight-from-the-runway pouch to flashes of preppy argyle; one brave showgoer even committed a open-toed sandal moment.
Ahead, 11 impeccably chic ways to master late-winter-in-the-city style, according to New York’s most fabulous set—we promise, it’s easier than you think.

Leopard Print Is the Moment
Proof that leopard print is best treated like a neutral. Ground Toteme’s statement calf-hair coat with classic blue jeans, a perfect black tee, and sleek leather accessories for a look that feels equal parts downtown and timeless. Consider your 7 p.m. reservation spot at The Odeon, confirmed.

Everyday Feathers
Feathers, but make them everyday—just ask Vogue’s Lisa Aiken. Her NYFW formula pairs Toteme’s petal-trimmed pencil skirt with a silky red button-up and cropped leather jacket, reminding us that texture is key to elevate winter staples. The final touch? A python-effect Khaite tote and a softly fringed scarf for added depth.

Off-Duty Cool
Vogue’s resident minimalist, Maddy Fass, once again made the case for a roomy leather jacket as the foundation for off-duty elegance. Styled with relaxed tailoring and her signature shell-detailed cord necklace, it delivered a quietly confident kind of city polish in-between shows.

Back to Basics
Sometimes, you just can’t beat the basics. A classic trench, straight-leg jeans, and a crisp white button-up feel fresh and modern when finished with a statement bag, polished flats, and some cute white socks peaking out underneath.

Seeing Green
A side serving of greens, please—NYFW style. Statement leather trench aside, this look is anchored by Prada’s olive Wish pouch—the season’s undisputed It bag—for a rich pop of color in an otherwise monochromatic look.

Modern Cowgirl
Denim on denim gets an urban spin this season with the addition of a patterned silk scarf (left loose versus tied as a bandana) and a lively orange bag. Grounded by a classic jean-and-shirt pairing, the look is finished with suede ankle boots and a shearling-trim jacket for a nod to Western ease—done the downtown way, of course.

A Transitional Approach
Summer sandals in February? If you’re going to door to door, why not? Teamed with crisp shirting and relaxed navy trousers, open-toe heels, such as the below from Gucci, are sleek, modern, and perfectly suited for those in-between, transitional days.
