Here is a look at what is going on right now on the streets of New York when it comes to fashion.  As a street style blogger, I approached people who said New York influenced their personal fashion style.  The city is home to over 1,000 showrooms and couture houses, hundreds of the best designers in the world show their work here and the Fashion District, one of the fashion capitals of the world, is located in the heart of Manhattan; it is no wonder why NY residents find themselves embodying the latest trends in fashion, it is all around them!

Pairing slouchy trousers with flirty tops, casually carrying a chanel purse around, jean shirts, fur vests, fringe pocketbooks, cloth ties, suede lace up mens shoes… these are just a few hints of what people are wearing in the streets of New York.

Many more editions of fashion from the streets to come!

Feature: Top 10 Must-Haves for Fall and Winter

Top 10 Must-Haves for Fall and Winter

1.  Statement necklaces

Turn an outfit into a fashion statement! A chunky, bold necklace can be an inexpensive way to bring runway style to your every day wardrobe.

2.  Military

This fall is all about the utilitarian trend.  Infantry-inspired jackets and cargo pants are the perfect pieces to contribute to an outfit. For the “military chic” look, it’s best to rock it on top or on the bottom and then pair it with a feminine piece to add contrast.

3.  Capes

Without a doubt, capes are this year’s most sought-after outerwear.  The look was seen all over the runways from Prada to Wang.  Since this look is baggier on top, it looks chic when you pair it with skinny jeans or leggings.

4.  Over-the-knee boots

A look for the brave. This traffic-stopping look is aggressively chic and was all over the runways this year. The look is bold and has an inherent sexiness, so it’s best to wear it with more modest pieces.

5.  Wide-leg trouser

Ladies all around are happy this look is coming back! Flare legged jeans and trousers add light to an outfit.  Not to mention it allows comfort when dressing up or dressing down.

6.  Leather skirt

It’s essential to introduce leather skirts into your wardrobe.  It’s the perfect way to conquer the rocker look: femininity with a side of tough girl.

7.  Animal print accessories

Best for clutches, shoes or bags, this trend adds a little something to your outfit.

8.  Leather jacket

Nothing says fall like a soft leather jacket. Wear it over a graphic tee, a white v-neck, or add a rock and roll feel by adding it to a gauzy soft dress!

9.  Thigh high knee socks

Great for the cooler weather, thigh high socks are one of this year’s most wearable styles.  They look fab with almost everything: flats, skirts, shorts, dressers.  And they can easily transition from fall to winter.

10.  Nail polish: beige

Beige nails are a perfectly simple compliment to an outfit.  This year’s most talked about nail polish “All Hail McQueen,” by Butter London, honors the late and great designer Alexander Mcqueen. It’s a neutral nude with tiny sparkles and can be found online for $14.00.
