Ding ding! Let Fashion Month, and the race for this season’s coolest clothes, commence. We’re just a couple of days into New York Fashion Week and my head has completely switched into autumn mode. The weather in the city has been cheery enough to still warrant sundresses and sandals, but that has not deterred the stylish throngs of street stylers and A-listers from delving into a world of new ideas.
A few trends are being spotted more frequently than others. There’s an influx of saturated colours, and they’re most commonly cropping up in simple dress shapes for easy wear—if anything can lure you out of black, navy and grey this winter, it’ll be the bright day dress. There are trouser suits that put loungewear firmly in the shade, a slew of Y2K throwbacks and boots so tempting, we don’t even feel the need for the temperature to drop before packing our chunky-soled sandals away for another year. Olivia Palermo, Katie Holmes, the Hadid sisters and many more celebrities have been attending the shows and doing their utmost to showcase autumn’s topline trends for you. So without further ado, let’s see how New York’s fashion crowd are doing the new season.
