8 Fall Outfits I'm Copying From NYC Girls

While the French, Scandis, Angelenos, and women from all over the world, really, have tons to offer in the form of style inspiration, I’ve always felt that those from NYC are particularly useful to turn to when it comes to outfit ideas that are both fashionable and functional in any season. As I’ve said before, since moving here myself several years ago, I’ve only found this assessment about my fellow city dwellers to be more and more accurate.

With this in mind, today I’ve taken the liberty of rounding up eight such looks that are worthy of copying now that fall is officially in full swing. From easy outfits involving jeans to the seemingly preferred suit style of fashion girls this season, just keep scrolling to see what New Yorkers are wearing right now, and shop what you’ll need to get the look for yourself.

I especially love the way Madelynn chose whites and neutrals and how her jeans are on the longer side, going over her shoes. Can you tell I'm taking notes?

One of my favorite fall outfit ideas, period. Style it with boots, slingbacks, loafers, or any other shoes, and you can't go wrong.

A statement sweater will always look good with jeans, but why not try pairing one with trousers for a look that can take you to the office and beyond?

If you think wearing a statement coat means you have to play it safe with the rest of your look, think again.

Any pants will do, but black jeans are always a safe bet.

For a dress outfit you'll also be able to wear well into winter, opt for a warm, leather style, and pair it with chunky, lace-up boots.

Last, but certainly not least, you can never go wrong with a white tee, black jeans, and black ankle boots, and the outfit is like a blank canvas for any jacket of your choosing.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
