But the streets of New York are a fashion mixed bag – unknowingly cross into a different suburb and you can feel like you’ve stepped into a different sartorial world. 

And there’s no better example than New York Fashion Week where Park Avenue princesses, Bushwick scenesters  and Chelsea’s cartoonish creatives descend on front rows, backstages and the city’s streets for work, play and a photo opportunities.

The shows on the agenda have drawn a top notch crowd of A-listers to the front row. The return of Calvin Klein from a six year hiatus attracted big names like Kate Moss and Christy Turlington while Marc Jacobs, Khaite, Anna Sui and Tory Burch have all proven celebrity fashion catnip.

While this has been entertaining we often find the most inspiration for the season to come when we look away from the runway and towards the streets and New Yorkers have provided us with plenty of style inspiration for Autumn. 

We’ve had a timely reminder of the art of layering with attendees having fun with faux fur and designer bags thrown together with gorpcore (that’s the kind of functional athletic wear you’d see on bouldering Facebook groups) and sweaters tossed over silk dresses and skirts. Along with the requisite costumey-regalia with story book hooded caps and handkerchief headscarves popping up on the streets. 

And we’ve had a masterclass in denim with bootcut jeans, skinny leg styles, stovepipes and wide leg seen every-which-way across the city, styled with aplomb. If you’re looking for a masterclass in how to wear denim, or inspiration for your Autumn/Winter wardrobe scroll on.
