Is Every NYC Girl Wearing These Jeans Now?
Take a quick browse through our massive New York street style roundup, and you'll notice a few key trends like bold outfits mixing unexpected color combinations, the most covetable footwear, a certain Balenciaga bag on nearly every fashion influencer, and loads of the same jean style. The biggest street style trend in denim in NYC right now? It's 100% a straight-leg pair of jeans in a perfectly light wash.
To visualize, we're referring to a style that's somewhere between skinny jeans and a fitted boyfriend silhouette, and for the wash, it's perfectly worn in. To give you even more of a visual (and to make sure your jean selection is set with the style for fall), we're sharing the denim street style moments from stylish women around the city (visiting and residents) below and our favorite straight-leg, light-wash jeans at the end. Check out what we're talking about below.
