Mentally, dreary January seems to be the longest month of the year. But when the whirlwind of back-to-back Fashion Weeks begins, the excitement returns, especially when it comes to dressing. If you're still feeling the January blues, New York Fashion Week's Fall/Winter 2020 street style will help you feel inspired once again. Thanks to trendy (and yet, weather conscious) influencers, editors, and buyers, the winter style rut you've been stuck in will seem undue.

In New York, showgoers embrace the city's mix of downtown cool and uptown prep with their street style looks. Expect plenty of leather, and black (it's NYC, after all), but also quirky, playful fashion full of color, print, and texture. Case in point: last season, the Spring/Summer 2020 street style from last September was all about reinterpreted suiting with lots of layering, and unusual proportions. The nice thing is that even if you're on a shopping hiatus, most street style looks you can recreate using your go-to closet staples in an out-of-the box way. For instance, consider trying something as simple as tucking your trousers into your favorite boots, or take it a step further by throwing a midi skirt over your pants.

In addition to styling, keep an eye out for showgoers wearing items that are guaranteed to be big for Spring. Last season, STAUD's moon bag and Bottega Veneta's Skirt in Matelassé Nappa were the standout favorites. As for what's swarming the streets of lower Manhattan this season? Start with bright colors, bold prints, and chunky lug-sole boots.

Below, find all the looks to have at your fingertips when you're feeling especially uninspired. And keep checking back for even more ultra-chic ensembles to flood in.
