A Year in Cycling
One of the most lasting and unexpected impacts of the pandemic on New York City may be the transformation of our city streets. In the first few months of the shutdown, when subways were reserved for essential workers, New Yorkers took to cycling and many of them never stopped. Bikes whizzed by where trucks once idled, and even now that car traffic has returned, cyclists and outdoor diners have not relinquished their claim on public space.
Cycling also influenced what we wear, the key question being, can you pedal in it? Whatever that is, be it a dress or a pantsuit or bike shorts, it’s probably your best option for daytime dressing.
Boho Chic, Thompson Street, June 2020
Sweatpants may be forever, but personally I am gravitating towards boho prints and loose, rumply cotton this summer, like this look spotted in the Village in June. You may be dressed, but it feels like you’re wearing… pajamas!

Greenmarket Style, June 2020
For the past decade or so, New Yorkers haven’t dressed up much to walk around the neighborhood or run errands. That seems to be changing slightly as the economy opens up a bit more while gyms stay closed. This time we know for sure you aren’t schlepping around in yoga pants because you just came from a class. There was no class! We also may be finally tiring of athleisure.
Case in point is the Union Square Greenmarket, which is thankfully open, ready for business and well-managed for social distancing – and a good place to show off a real outfit. These two wore one print that keeps popping up, especially in face masks – tiny florals. Pretty and old-fashioned, they’re just what the summer ordered.

June in January
New Yorkers shed their puffer coats and headed out into balmy 60+ degree weather this weekend. I don’t know if I would even call all of these looks “fashion,” but it’s what New Yorkers were wearing. Shorts, flip flops, white jeans, spring colors – anything goes when the weather is this unexpectedly mild.
(more…)Sneakers and Socks, Astor Place, April 2018
So I was specifically trying to photograph women in open-toe shoes last weekend for an assignment, and I was surprised to see just how many young women were wearing sneakers instead. It was actually hard to find any open-toe shoes, even on a 70-degree day. You could write it off to people not being pedicure-ready at this time of year, but I also saw this last summer late in the season. Like the kids are just not having it with the whole schlepping-around-in-strappy-shoes-that-give-you-blisters thing. What would Carrie Bradshaw say? Something tells me they don’t care.

Denim Whipstitched Shirt, NYFW SS2017
Denim is still a must-buy for this time of year – call it the back to school instinct that never ends. A model at the New York shows draped a denim shirt with whipstitching over shorts and a tee for a layered look.

All Black, New York City, November 9, 2016
This woman was one of many wearing all black on the streets of New York today, the day after the 2016 election. Hot pants may be unusual in November, but the heart-shaped sunglasses should be a tip off: she is wearing an almost exact replica of the look of Darlene in Mr. Robot, the TV show about a dystopian future in which hackers band together under a group called “F Society.”

Chinoiserie: Catherine Baba at Schiaparelli FW2015
One trend we noticed at the Governors Ball – several stylish attendees were wearing chinoiserie-style robes as outerwear. Stylist Catherine Baba of Paris has been doing this for years, often pairing hers with a sun hat.

Hippie Chic, Coachella Weekend One 2016
A rule of thumb for dressing with hippie flair at music festivals: if you’re going to do it, do it with polish. A guest at Coachella weekend one went for a silk floral top that conjured up traditional embroidery patterns and topped it off with red lipstick. It also doesn’t hurt if your fringe bag is YSL.

Face in the Crowd: Rumi Neely at Coachella 2016
A familiar face in the crowd, Rumi Neely, was one of several chic concert goers to opt for all white. It’s not the most practical shade for a festival, but it’s great if you’re just going to emerge from the VIP area.

Chiara Ferragni at Tommy Hilfiger SS2016
Takin’ it to the streets: Chiara Ferragni wore a studded leather garage-type vest (vintage) to the Tommy Hilfiger show yesterday, an apt choice considering the industrial background at many of the shows during New York fashion week. And there are those Alexander Wang boots again!
