One of the great things about New York is that it makes it easy to find fashion inspiration. You don’t have to be in the know or work in fashion to get it. You don’t have to be up to date with what’s recently walked down the runway or what the trendiest celebrities are wearing. All you really need to do is step outside and see what real people are wearing at a corner shop or on the subway. It’s my personal favorite way to step outside of my comfort zone and learn how to style things in new ways.
I’ve recently done a closet clean out and am finding myself in a bit of a rut when it comes to getting dressed, especially now that it’s shifted to winter seemingly overnight. And so I’ve been going on longer walks and making fashion observations on the go.
Quite quickly I noticed five winter trends that everyone cool seems to be wearing. Every outfit that stopped me in my tracks and made me do a double take featured one (or multiple!) of the below. And I firmly believe you (and I) should incorporate them into our winter wardrobe stat for looks that feel entirely new but also like something you could replicate and repeat every season.
Layered Shirts
There’s something so nostalgic about wearing a long sleeve shirt under a short sleeve tee. Personally, it brings me back to the Abercrombie & Fitch days of the 2000s. But the look has a had a major upgrade recently, and is the perfect way to layer without getting too weighed down with texture. Plus, Comme de Garcons has famously put layered shirts and tees down the runway for years, making it a high fashion must that still has a childlike flair that keeps it fun.
