One thing about New Yorkers is that they know how to dress. Another thing about New Yorkers is that their style only gets better in the colder months. Even during the winter, I spend a lot of time people-watching in NYC; there’s no better way to get style inspo, in my humble opinion. Whether I’m grabbing a coffee and moseying around on the Upper East Side or sprinting from event to event in SoHo, I keep seeing the same items: pared-down staples.
If you’re looking for some help with your sartorial selections, I’ve curated a list of pieces that NYC fashion people would absolutely buy from Nordstrom (because where else in this day and age can you score hundreds of luxury brands all in one place?). From cashmere knits and high-quality denim to luxe outerwear and wintertime accessories, here are 30 fashion items that NYC people love.
Every wardrobe should have one good coat like this one.
I'm in love.
I've already thought of at least a dozen ways to wear this sweater.
Love this dark wash.
All the girlies are doing it.
Nothing looks as good as Celine. Just sayin'.
Winter must-haves, these square-toe boots bring a modern feel to an otherwise classic style.
Pencil silhouettes are everywhere right now, and the button detailing only adds to the appeal.
These are too good not to buy.
Best styled slung over the shoulders of a trench or longline coat.
Luxe tights elevate even the simplest of outfits.
This belted mini plus the above tights are desk to dinner perfection.
A little something for the leather lovers.
Never underestimate the power of a good pair of jeans.
These are sturdy while still feeling comfortable and slouchy.
A New Yorker's winter wardrobe wouldn't be complete without a black scarf.
Rosettes aren’t going anywhere. Pair this dress with kitten heels, and you’ve got yourself an outfit.
The fashion set is enamored with shades of red at the moment.
Do I really need to explain?
I love the flattering fit of this dress paired with the sleek sleeveless silhouette.
This will make every outfit better.
Another New Yorker staple, a high-quality puffer coat is a must-buy.
Leather gloves are a must for winter.
These buckle slingbacks go with everything.
These are so practical and stylish.
They're called The Favorite for a reason.
Tory Burch has been that girl.
You'll reach for these luxe cashmere socks all the time, trust.
I'll take one in every color, please.
Another great belted-coat option.
