7 Outfits I'm Re-Creating Straight From NYC Girls' Instagrams
In my opinion, the best trend forecasting comes from a quick stroll through downtown Manhattan. However, for those who don't have easy access to the streets of New York, Instagram is the perfect window into what the city's chicest people are wearing. My feed is full of exciting looks I'm dying to try, so let's get into it.
Warm weather has entered the chat, and I love seeing how my favorite New Yorkers are styling spring and summer's biggest trends. From longline denim skirts to the top shoe trends, it's all here for your shopping enjoyment. Below are seven outfits at the top of my outfit inspiration board right now.
TRENCH COAT + MINIDRESS + KITTEN HEELS
Restyle your basics with trendy accessories. A traditional trench coat and LBD are elevated with a neutral bag and an adorable sock-and-kitten-heel combination.
WHITE TOP + CARGO PANTS + FLIP-FLOPS
Parachute pants transition into warm weather with flatform flip-flops. Utilitarian bags are trending, and this messenger style is the perfect functional piece.
CORSET TOP + DENIM SKIRT + BOOTS
A corset top and denim midi skirt are the ideal warm-weather ensemble. And a bright handbag is always a yes.
Cropped Button-Down + Full Skirt + Sandals
An all-white look is always super chic for warm weather. Add on barely-there sandals and brighten things up with a vibrant handbag.
Biker Jacket + Denim Maxi Skirt + Cowboy Boots
Denim-maxi-skirt outfits are everywhere in New York City right now. Other trendy pieces in this outfit include the viral Diesel shoulder bag, a grungy moto jacket, and cowboy boots.
TANK TOP + PLEATED SKIRT + BOOTS
White tank tops and pleated miniskirts are both currently trending items. Top it off with chic black boots and sculptural hoops.
COLORFUL TOP + TROUSERS + MATCHING BAG
I'm obsessed with a color-coordinated accessory, so this top/bag combination is definitely on my list to reproduce. Ground the look with crisp black trousers and classic ballet flats.
