Last weekend I made a quick trip to the wonderful city of
New York. The hustle and bustle and the diversity of people you see on the
streets is so refreshing coming from Alabama. Leaving the sea of norts and
oversized tee-shirts to come to an amalgam of different styles was something I
needed. From perusing the racks of
Bergdorf’s to picking up some basics at H&M or TopShop, New York has it
all. Check out the top trends I fell in love with in the Big Apple below!
1. Leather Accents
I know in previous years leather has been making a comeback (and for my animal friendly friends “Pleather.”) Many people in NYC were rocking leather accents from a pocket on a teeshirt to leather stripes on pants. A simple splash of leather can make a look go from mundane to extraordinary.
2.Statement Sweaters
Leave your single color
casmere sweater behind. Its all about making a statement. This is easily done
by picking up a retro sweater from your local thrift store or if you’re looking
for a more distinguished look, Marc Jacobs and Givenchy have a plethora of statement sweaters to choose from
3. Watches
In the empire city everyone is
in a rush to do something. Time is something that is very imporatant so why not
check the time in style. It seemed that everyone from 5th avenue to
the subways were wearing some type of watch. If you want to try something new and experiment mix metals, Try a silver watch with gold and bronze rings. When done correctly it is a great statement.
4. Herem Pants
I am an advocate for Harem
pants. Who doesn’t love being comfurtable and trendy at the same time? Many people
on the streets were spotted in sweats, it really comes down to how you put the
outfit together so you don’t end up looking like you rolled out of bed.
