5 Trends NYC Girls Are Wearing for Spring

There’s nothing like a trip to New York City to cure a sartorial rut and during my most recent trip to the city there was certainly no shortage of style inspo. Downtown, uptown, Brooklyn, and back—everywhere I went I saw incredible look after incredible look. Since NYC is often where trends originate, I wasn’t surprised to see so many in the wild. There were a few repeat offenders that I noticed literally everywhere and now can’t stop wearing myself. From the color of the season to the must-have shoe styles, here are the trends NYC girls are wearing right now.

COLORFUL SNEAKERS

A pop of color always adds a fun point of interest to an outfit and the women in NYC are doing so by way of bold sneakers. Low tops, high tops, sporty styles, and classic ones—all are being paired with everyday attire like denim, dresses, and trousers.

BAGGY DENIM

Baggy jeans are the It denim style right now and I’m here for it. Look for pairs that are wider through the middle like balloon jeans or that pool at the base.

STATEMENT BELTS

I saw so many belts with interesting hardware while in New York and immediately purchased a few of my own. From studs to statement closures, a unique belt is an easy way to elevate an outfit.

TEXTURED FLATS

Ballet flats and Mary Janes are here to stay according to the women of NYC. For spring, it’s all about pairs in unique fabrics like raffia, satin, mesh and even denim.

BUTTER YELLOW

I could hardly walk three blocks without seeing someone wearing butter yellow. This soft, pale hue looks particularly chic paired with white or denim.
