New York Street Style Is Here To Wake You Up
Fashion week is back.
The return of an in-person NYFW is like heading back to school after a long summer. Fashion editors, buyers, and influencers are catching up in-between shows after an almost two-year hiatus (of course, chit-chat was more work-related than it was about sleep-away camp). And, as you always plan out your very best ensemble for the first day back of the year to impress your fellow classmates, that’s exactly what attendees did this season — the New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2021 street style pulled out all the stops, and more. The classrooms (a.k.a runways) are back in session!
Fashion’s big reunion kicked off on Tuesday evening in the most joyful way possible — gathering a group together at the Brooklyn Grange to watch the Collina Strada show. The runway was full of energy and optimism — complete with mother-daughter runway pairings and a live musical performance — as was the large crowd of show-goers. For the rest of the week, prepare for a ton of exciting moments: celebrity-favorite jewelry brand Khiry is presenting for the first time, and the industry’s heavy hitters are all on the schedule (think: Tom Ford, Thom Browne, Altuzarra). Which all means one thing: the streets will be buzzing with can’t-miss outfits that offer up endless sartorial inspiration.
Below, find the best fashion week street style ensembles spotted at NYFW. As always, don’t forget to keep checking as the shows go until Sunday, September 12.
