With the latest edition New York Fashion Week officially upon us—this season, running from September 11th to 16th—all eyes are on the catwalks for the trends that we'll be wearing come Spring/Summer 2026 (and if you want to know all about what to wear now, make sure to check out our Autumn/Winter 2025 trend report).
But another great source of sartorial inspiration can be found a tiny bit further afield... On the streets, to be precise.
As usual, celebrities, editors, models, influencers and all manner of industry insiders have descended on the Big Apple this week to attend the Spring/Summer 2026 shows, and naturally, they've brought out their finest looks for the occasion. The best part? They're wearing pieces and trends that you can actually shop and copy immediately—and trust me: you'll definitely want to.
From casual preppy looks, double denim, statement skirts and monochrome combinations aplenty, to elegant ensembles that nail the polished aesthetic that New York women are best-known for, these are all of the best street style looks we've spotted between the shows so far.
