Leather Vest and Military Dress, Outside Rag & Bone
Garance Doré at Derek Lam
When dressing for NY Fashion Week, it’s important for us street style photographers to remember that we must spend a lot of time outside, not just dashing from the warmth of a chauffeured car to a fashion show. Therefore I am much more likely to take cues from stylish photogs like Garance Doré, who always mixes high fashion with a good dose of practicality, as with this fur-lined military parka. The pink lipstick is a nice girly touch.
Bonnaroo Street Chic: Leopard-Print Shorts and Doc Martens
Since the original huge American music festival was Woodstock, festival fashion often follows the hippie beat of that era. But as a New Yorker, I liked seeing the edgier looks at Bonnaroo. Military boots like Doc Martens are perfect for tackling dust or mud, and not every print has to be paisley. Try leopard!
Military Green Dress and Hat, Central Park Conservancy
Love how this flattering “drab” green color has transcended military looks and become a new neutral, here in a beautifully tailored sheath dress and hat with a green satin bow. It’s especially smart when paired with red gloves and bag.
Military Jacket, One Day Without Shoes
Despite the no-shoes mandate, many of the volunteers at the recent One Day Without Shoes charity event still dressed quite fashionably. Military jackets continue to be a great transitional option each spring, a practical outer layer worn here with a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag and striped sailor top.
Kate Schelter at Yigal Azrouel
Stylist Kate Schelter and a friend outside the Yigal Azrouël show. They’re both so beautifully pulled together – and this was taken early in the morning! Schelter mixes an army green silk jumpsuit with a classic fur and brown suede lace-up boots. On her friend, a wide-brimmed fedora. Both opted for handbags in caramel leather.

Russian Fur Hat and Military Jacket, Union Square, January
Eric Wilson of the Times Styles section included trapper hats as one of “10 Looks We Never Want to See Again” post-2010. (Also included: anything with studs or skulls.) Very well, but what happens if you have to spend hours outside in sub-freezing temperatures?
Trapper hats are infinitely practical, but you could put them away in favor of their Russian cousins, the huge fur topper, for similar warmth. Insulated faux fur will work just as well. Paired here with a navy blue military jacket, the look is sharp and timeless.
