Now's the time to show off your favorite glossy trenches and teddy bear-inspired shearling jackets. A good fall coat is one investment piece you shouldn't skimp out on. This fall, longline trench coats and more are set to be the outerwear of choice among the stylish NYC set. Just because we're no longer wearing sweats 24/7 doesn't mean we're ditching them completely, either. In fact, we have a newfound appreciation for a matching set in a pretty color.
Stash a statement necklace or earrings in your bag so you can be ready for dinner in a flash. Add a bold lip on your way to the restaurant for instant glam. When your outfits are simple and stylish, you’ll be ready for anything. While we’ll be sharing seasonal outfit ideas below, there are a few essentials you’ll want to bring to New York regardless of when you visit. I love their dresses because they are comfortable and quite consistent in their fit.
What to wear in New York City during Fall – tips and outfits inspo
Hopefully with a list of where to go and a blueprint for experimenting with your clothes, you’ll be part of the latter group. If you’re planning on going to brunch, a cute floral dress for fall will serve as the base for a perfect outfit. Miranda Priestly might even say “Groundbreaking.” Throw on a fedora and reach for a wine colored purse for dramatic flare. A wrap dress will give you the perfect mobility and coverage for a night of dancing (we have Queen Diane Von Furstenberg to thank for that!). Try using complimentary colors like blue and orange.
Head-to-toe black isn’t the least bit dull when cutout tops, balloon-shaped pants, or textured fabrics are incorporated. So if you find you’re out of ideas on what to wear, you can never go wrong with the iconic New York uniform—the effortlessly chic and unendingly cool. Not ready to trade in your lace-up sandals for suede ankle boots yet? Luckily, in the early weeks of autumn, you can still wear open-toe sandals or woven espadrilles without flirting with hypothermia.
Cowboy Boots With Blazers and Jeans
In particular, when I grabbed lunch with senior editor Nicole Eshaghpour in SoHo, while sitting at a sidewalk cafe, we noticed a steady stream of cool looks passing by. The outfits were heavy on TikTok trends, including pieces like low-rise baggy jeans and cutouts, as well as directional basics such as cowboy boots and vest tops. We're also 99% sure we even sawKatie Holmes walking by wearing a pair of JW Anderson chain-detail slides. Long story short, there was so much fashion to take in, and I just need to discuss it.
Easy denim with gorgeous sandals and a breezy top will be your uniform. On top, think cropped camis, deep V halters, and blouses. Pair them with equally cool and comfy maxi skirts, culottes, and light denims. Playsuits and jumpsuits can be great, but avoid tight body cons of any design, as it’s icky to get sticky when you’re on the go for hours. Rachel works at Madison Square Garden, so we had to snap a photo here. Central Park is the set of basically every Law & Order episode and every one’s favorite Instagram location.
How to Pack Your Clothes
Ahead, the beautiful printed dresses, bras as tops and Telfar bags that took over New York City fashion this summer. When brighter days do come, this town will be dressed and ready. Knit dresses are another cold-weather trend that's deceivingly comfortable and easily dressed up or down—it all depends on the shoes and accessories.
While cutouts have been everywhere recently, this particular take taps into what I noticed on the streets of New York.

Pair it with jeans, over a floaty maxi dress, or styled over a crisp button-down. Alyssa Hardy is a fashion and culture writer living in New York City. She was formerly the Fashion News Editor at Teen Vogue and the Senior News Editor at InStyle. She recently launched a newsletter titled "This Stuff," which publishes twice weekly. "As summer transitions, so should your wardrobe. Layers are key for transitional weather—try denim under a dress, socks with sandals, and you have a weatherproof look." Ahead, eight all-black outfits captured on the streets during New York Fashion Week to inspire your ensembles for fall.
I live in Western Mass so things are a little less fashionable here. Many New Yorkers escape to the beach in the summer, leaving the city extremely laid back. The temperature spikes in July with an average of 76°F / 25°C, but this can fluctuate and decrease at night, so you’ll need to be prepared if you’re out all day.
Style your summer shoes with your favorite long-sleeved T-shirt dress or a cozy fall sweater and jeans. Below, you see me in the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge (Check out this previous post- Brooklyn Bridge). I’m wearing a white Evereve henley tee shirt under the jacket, with black Loft Lou and Grey knit joggers. Because we walked 18,000 steps many days (!), I wore Asics gray sneakers along with a black Coach crossbody bag.

Finish it off with some ankle leather boots and on-trend ruched bag. If you read our stories regularly, you probably know that I won't stop talking about slouchy trousers. I've been styling mine with simple pieces like tanks and button-downs, but the streets of New York have me inspired to wear them with structure corset tops. Cowboy boots are one of those trends I'm never sure I'm ready for, but now, I somehow feel ready for them. I think it comes down to the way I'm seeing them styled, which mostly revolves around Princess Diana–inspired looks like this that were all over the streets of NYC.
