New York Fall Outfits
New York is a distinctly walkable city, known for its style and culture, and endless outfit inspiration. The fall weather can be quite unpredictable, with warm afternoons and cool evenings – so layering is key to fall NYC outfits.
Leather will always be a timeless piece that New York women rely on for the crisp weather. Wide-leg jeans and chunky boots are staples as the weather turns cooler heading into the winter months.

The trench coat is one of the hardest working pieces in anyone’s wardrobe. It is one of the key pieces to rely on for the different weather conditions and climates during the fall season.
Traditional silhouettes still reign as the favorite choice of trench coats.
Beige, double-breasted, and wide lapels are a classic staple. Don’t forget to to finish off with city chic sneakers for a quintessential fall look.
Blazer + Skirt + Boots
For every season, there’s always a winning shoe or fall trend to splurge on—whether it’s it-girl sneakers or a polished loafer for the here and now.
For the unpredictable weather forecast, the lug-sole boot is a must have item.
Lug-sole boots feature a toothy rubber sole, indented for traction, and ideal for navigating any climate or weather condition. With that being said, the lug sole toughens up any fall look to perfection.
Top + Skirt + Boots
A mini skirt have always had their moment, but maxi skirts are forever. The versatility of the maxi skirt allows it to transition easily from warm weather to a cold weather essential.
To bring the maxi skirt to the fall season, finish off with a long sleeve top and leather boots.
Blazer + Skirt + Boots
New York women have an innate sense of style year-round, but their fashionable ways really shine in the fall.
Layering is a technique that NYC women have mastered.
Repurpose a button down blouse as day wear by layering a simple polo neck underneath or by adding an oversized blazer for extra warmth.
Blazer + Jeans + Flats
Expect to see a ton of red in New York City for the cooler season.
If you want to live the strawberry girl life, it’s all about going bold.
If it feels like a lot, go with neutral outerwear and a pair of trusty denim to tone down the bright color.
Jacket + Jeans + Flats
There’s no one way to dress like a New Yorker, but if there’s one item that all NY women rely on – is a pair of trusty denim.
It’s totally achievable to have an eye-catching look without sacrificing comfort. Pair with a ladylike sophisticated jacket and equally statement worthy footwear.
Jacket + Trousers + Flats
There is nothing more cliché than an all-black New York look.
However lackluster the look may seem, changing up the texture and material brings tension to the look.
Add a buttery, soft leather jacket to pinstripe trousers for a casual, workwear vibe.
Coat + Sweater + Trousers + Sneakers
Wide-leg pants, the successor to skinny jeans, aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
If you feel like your look needs some extra oomph, add a luxe leather trench to combat the autumnal breeze.
A snuggly weather is always a good choice to pair with trousers. Go with a more classic shape and pattern for cozy vibes.
