Truth be told, I find it a bit hard to describe “New York” style. It’s kind of all over the place these days, but you know it when you see it. It’s cool and a bit edgy, and more casual than it once was, but still chic. The colors are often neutral and the shoes walkable, and the vibe is usually trendy. You also probably know a classic “French” outfit when you see one. But French women are more eclectic with their style than they’re given credit for, and I often spot them wearing outfits that make them look like they’re in another big fashion city.
More often than not as of late, that fashion city is New York. When you see the 12 outfits below, you’ll instantly be able to picture them on the streets of the West Village, even though they were taken on the streets of Paris, proving how versatile they are. Scroll on to see the NYC-but-not looks for yourself and shop the essential pieces.
