The entire New York showcase not only owned a unique wave of style but a good wearability quotient as well. It is time to have a quick recap from the runways of New York Fashion Week and take our notes!

Baggy Trousers

If you ever wondered what does the amalgamation of creativity and utility look like, the answer is baggy trousers. Yes, you may feel underwhelmed that it has been borrowed from last year’s cargo pants but precisely these are a unique take on comfort wear with a style that takes a cue from the sportswear! Plus, you can spot an array of colours to pick from. For New York Fashion Week, Tibi has presented curved hem trousers with more structure and volume to it, whereas Dion Lee went gender-fluid with slouchy yet well-tailored trousers. On the other hand, Alexander Wang's take was all about high waist silhouette, corduroy fabric, and elasticated hems.

Chic Stripes

If you believed our say and invested in striped outfits, you're in a definitive place because the classic stripes are expected to stay for next year's spring as well. The best part is that all kinds of stripes are ruling the runways of New York Fashion Week, be it thick or thin, circular or straight or even monochromes. For exemplary creation have a look at Marc Jacobs' designs where he introduced blazer and pants with white stripes on darker canvas. On the other hand, the 3.1 Phillip Lim played with textures and fabrics keeping the silhouettes flowy and oversized. Dion Lee is also no step back; the brand elevated the show with a myriad style of stripes - from asymmetrical to bold stripes – on shirts, skirts, and blazers.
