New York Fashion Week may already be over, but what if we told you it could live on forever in your wardrobe? And you don’t even have to purchase those straight-off-the-runways pieces that are way out of a collegiette’s budget. Below, we’ve compiled 14 of our favorite street style looks from NYFW that you can totally copy on campus.
1. ’70s chic
‘70s-inspired style is big for fall again this year. We love how this look goes full-on festival with the floppy hat, round sunnies, denim skirt (or culottes, if you’re daring!) and booties.
2. Suit up
Menswear doesn’t have to be blah. In fact, it can add the sophistication that your ensembles have been lacking. Keep the cuts feminine—like the plunging neckline and perfectly short shorts—and the colors soft.
3. The skirt has it
Overall, this outfit is pretty simple, which ensures that the intricately detailed skirt shines. We bet you have a similar piece hanging in your closet that you’ve been dying to wear.
4. Best dressed
A long-sleeved midi dress in a striking pattern is just what you need to embrace the cooler weather. We’d swap out those stunning heels for a pair of clean white sneaks.
5. Please don’t say summer’s over
There are ways to transition your favorite summer pieces into fall, as shown in all three of these outfits. From the poppy hues to the hints of exposed skin, we can see ourselves wearing these right on into October.
6. Cream of the crop
Crop tops don’t have to be reserved for weekend outings only. Pair yours with a high-waisted skirt or jeans to class it up enough for, well, class.
7. One coat
Sometimes all you need to make an outfit is an expertly fitted coat in an especially strong color. How nice would it be to just throw this on with some accessories when you’re running late?
8. Mixing prints
If you haven’t tried your hand at mixing prints yet, now is the time to start. It’s a complicated yet thrilling way to stand out from the crowd. This look combines three prints in similar shades to make for an outfit unlike any other.
9. That’s a match
So maybe you and your bestie don’t have these unforgettable black moto jackets. You can still pick a day to match a piece you have in common. Just make it your own rather than going full-on twin.
10. Suspended
Suspenders are such a cheap way to elevate your entire look. Thin styles that look like they came with your outfit will give you that effortless flair every girl is always trying to achieve.
11. Embrace the fall
Fringe, leather, turtlenecks… these are some of the fall pieces we can’t wait to try out. But while the temps stay warm, you can keep cool while nodding to the impending seasonal change.
12. Trendy lady
Button-front skirts and long, open vests are very on-trend right now. We’re planning on stealing these two looks ASAP.
13. Bring on the drama
Who said being in college means your clothes have to take a backseat to the drama in your personal life? Let’s change that, with pieces that carry a major impact wherever you wear them.
14. Easy updates
The lace, stripes and denim found in this look are all wardrobe staples. But easy updates—like distressing the hem of your jeans or combining the lace and stripes into a single top that wows—will give you a brand new perspective on fashion.
