Fashion month officially kicks off on Thursday 10th September, with New York leading the way in showcasing the Spring/Summer ’16 collections designers have to offer.
Style at New York Fashion Week is all about polished glamour with a fun, fashionable twist – think monochrome separates with a statement, bejewelled shoe, or a feminine A-line skirt worn with a boxy cross body bag and trainers.
The city is still very much in the height of summer so it’s the perfect time to take advantage of loose-fitting styles. Try this season’s favourite off-the-shoulder tops worn with wide leg culottes and slip-on mules, or a ‘70s-inspired bell-sleeved dress.
Whatever bag you choose, it should suit your needs as well as looking stylish; a clutch bag always looks incredibly sleek (we like a mannish document case too for an unexpected twist), whereas a classic tote bag is perfect for that polished look and will suit those who need to carry cameras, tablets or laptops around with them.
This season for NYFW, we’re looking to some of our favourite U.S. designers for our accessories to ensure we get a slice of that coveted NY style.
