During New York’s Fall 2025 Fashion Week, designers embraced a spectrum of aesthetics in their collections. Styles ranged from Sandy Liang’s trendy Y2K maximalist metallic midi-skirts to Rachel Scott of Diotima’s flapper-inspired crochet dresses. But the spotlight wasn’t only on the runways; the street-style outfits outside deserved and received just as much praise.
Scattered throughout the snow-dusted sidewalks of Manhattan, savvy showgoers dressed in clothes that showed off their personal style. Unlike some fashion week outfits that are so eccentric that they’re virtually unwearable, this crop of street-style looks demonstrated a refreshingly approachable attitude. One attendee wore a decadent cherry red barn jacket with a neutral two-piece set that offered a touch of practicality. Another styled a loud luxury-inspired animal print coat with subtle separates that balanced it out with more of a pared-down approach. The common theme was that each getup championed a strong sense of balance.
Inspired by these easy-to-replicate uniforms, I curated an assortment of street-style outfits that I can’t wait to copy. After you scroll through this list, I’m sure you’ll want to recreate these looks for yourself, too. Discover 13 outfits that deserve a spot in your cold-weather wardrobe. Many also check the transitional weather box, so they’ll be useful as we enter spring.
