Street Style - New York Fashion Week FW14

New York Fashion Week

Fall/Winter 2014

Street Style

Our favourite bloggers, socialites, models and fashion editors have styled up a storm at New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2014. I have gathered up some of the most outstanding looks and interesting new street wear trends worn during the week. Whatever your type of style, you will surely find something to inspire your winter wardrobe here.

Bright Coats

Hang up your faithful black coat and colour in the cold season with something more electric as seen on the colourful streets of New York Fashion Week.

  
Prep School

Collegiate style is defined in different ways, blending school-like skirts, preppy sweaters, polished blazers and collared shirts with precision and modernity.

Hue York

A refreshing ray of saffron yellow, cobalt blue and rich ruby captured my attention in the sea of grays and black. Whether in solids or in prints, these three shades work superbly well together.

The Sweater Set

Take your cable knit sweater one step further by turning it into a high style item. Wear it under an oversized coat or pinafore dress or layer it with a sheer skirt and pants. 

In The Pink 

The Big Apple was painted in pink by this seasons most popular shade in variances from bright carnation to delicate rose. I didn't realize the versatility and wearability of a pink winter overcoat until now.

Sneaker Scene

Swap your heels for sneakers, because comfort seems to be 'in' this season. Wear them with long graceful coats and ankle-cropped trousers, throw in a woolen beanie & cozy scarf to complete this sporty luxe look.

Fine Lines

Geometric lines were seen in all forms from boldly striped dresses to colour-blocked jackets and pin-striped suit coats. A dash of vivid red amped up these linear looks. 

Luxe Layering

These creative ladies show us how layering should be done, without reservation and with piles of style.

Minimal Monotones

Chic minimalism was depicted in classic tones of gray, black and white.

Powdered Pastels

The subtlety of pastel shaded outfits were a welcomed sight at NY Fashion Week, with a breeze of petal pink fuzzy jackets and powder blue furry coats and sweaters.

Distressed Denim

If there was ever a time to buy a pair of distressed denim boyfriend jeans, it would be now. With a multitude of ways to them, these ripped pairs can be dressed up with heels, clutch bags and tailored coats or simmered down with beanies, sweatshirts and boots.

Midi Skirt Manic

Midi skirts are here to stay with pretty picks in peach tulle, tapestry florals and pleats. They are paired with nifty sweatshirts, biker jackets, tights and ankle boots.

Which of these sets from New York Fashion Week have inspired your own style?

New York Fashion Week Street Style 2013

New York Fashion Week
Spring/Summer 2014
Street Style

NYFW has kicked off to an impressive start, and I'm not just referring to the runway collections. It's the fabulous street wear that has grabbed the attention of photographers and style lovers everywhere. Models, stylists, socialites, fashion editors and bloggers stepped out in their best end-of-summer outfits to great acclaim. My hat goes off to all the stylishly chic bloggers in this mix of street style looks. Bravo Ladies! You have outdone yourselves!


Vivid Prints

 

Vibrant, jazzy prints made a splash on the sidewalks of NYC, accented with bright accessories. A hot pink oversized blazer balances out the electric green printed top and trousers in the first look. Tamara Kalinic (pictured middle) of the blog 'Glam and Glitter' stands out in a unique scene printed Topshop pencil skirt, yellow blazer and cropped top, paired with cobalt blue Louboutin heels and a Proenza Schouler bag. Blogger Ella Catliff (right) is prettily printed in a cerise pink floral Kate Spade frock and lime green Michael Kors bag.

Grunge Glam

Swish skirts are given an edge with grunge styling in the form of leather moto jackets and checkered shirts. A statement bag polishes off this trendy theme. I like the integration of an elegant skirt with more masculine styling. I have a serious crush on the bejeweled sweater, leather skirt and bright magenta bag in the middle look.

Black & White

 The trend that never ends and remains eternally chic is black and white. These are some marvelous versions of monotones by models and bloggers alike. An off-duty model (left) is spotted in an uber popular pair of black skorts, paired with a cable knit sweater, leather sandals and a Celine bag. A pop of red adds some pizazz, as Aimee Song (pictured second) does with a clutch to her chic grid-print ensemble. Chiara Ferragni's slick white jumpsuit is supplemented by a tailored black blazer in the third outfit.

Feminine

 Romance finds it's place on the pavements of NYC with a range of beautifully feminine looks. Pretty floral prints enhance the theme. The graceful pastel pink and black kaftan dress is a stunning summer look (left). Tamara Kalinic's cream lace Zara shirt and blush midi skirt is styled with Valentino studded pumps and a Mulberry bag (pictured second). A bright green clutch and blue shoes style a colourfully painted dress (third look). The last outfit is a savvy mix of florals in two different shades that come together with finesse.

Crop Trops

 Minimalism and modernity meet in these sophisticated ensembles that demonstrate the various ways to wear a cropped top. Throw on an oversized blazer and lounge trousers, pair it with an impeccably tailored midi skirt or wear it with neatly striped shorts and leather loafers.

Brights

Stealing the scene were bright hues, animated by distinctive styling. Stylist Ana Ziourova stunned in a red and black pleated one-strap dress by Jason Wu. Bora Park radiated impeccable taste in an apricot Asos top, navy skater skirt, striped Reed Krakoff heels and a dazzling necklace. The third look sees a cool 90's influence with a slouchy high-waisted green pants and a denim jacket, enhanced by striking gold shoes. I like the playfulness of the bright orange shorts and cobalt blue blouse in the last look.

Neutrals

This voguish group of fashionistas picked out their outfits in neutral camel and coffee tones. A spot of leopard print does the trick in the first and third contemporary looks. A fabulous Burberry trench (pictured second) with metallic pockets and see-through sleeves is the ideal fashion week cover-up as seen on Chiara Ferragni. The last striped dress wonderfully combines peach, brown and black in a demure design with a Louis Vuitton bag in tow.
