NYC Girls Won't Go Near These Current Trends
There are trends, and then there are NYC trends. New York fashion girls have more than just the seasonal hype of a product to consider when choosing which trends they want to invest in, including functionality, breathability, and much more. Thanks to the infuriating heat and unavoidable walking and schlepping, rocking Wholesale Replica Bag heel trend might be tempting, but it can be far from practical. Get the picture?
Ahead I reached out to some of my favorite NYC girls to find out which fashion trends they are hating at the moment, in addition to the ones they are loving. Luckily, there are a lot of kitschy summer 2020 trends to consider, meaning the styles listed below are both exciting and practical.
Won't Wear: Platform Sneakers
Will Wear: Neon Pink
"Platform sneakers are having a moment right now, but they're just not for me. At 5'8", I'm not dying for a height boost, and when I do want to add a little lift, I prefer a heel! A current trend I am really into is neons—I'm basically treating neon pink like a neutral this summer." — Michelle Salem
Shop the trend:
Won't Wear: Tight Dresses
Will Wear: Breezy Dresses
"In general, I am not a huge fan of super-tight clothing, but I am especially against it in this New York humidity. This summer, I'm gravitating toward anything flowy that will generate some sort of breeze." — Lauren Eggertsen
Shop the trend:
Won't Wear: Espadrilles
Will Wear: Mules
"I love a good summery trend, but for some reason, I've always struggled with espadrilles. They look so cute on other women, but on me, I feel like they're a bit too beachy for the streets of NYC. Instead, I love great mule sandals." — Aemilia Madden
Shop the trend:
Won't Wear: Belt Packs
Will Wear: Anything Cowboy-Themed or Leopard-Printed
"I'm really sick of the strap bag or fanny pack. It's been overdone in my opinion. I sort of associate it with festival style now. I'm all about kitschy fashion these days—I don't know what's gotten into me. Sign me up for crazy cheetah prints and anything cowboy-themed. The trick is having a futuristic take on it. For example, pair some matrix sunglasses or something that wouldn't normally work with it to make it your own." — Anaa Saber
Shop the trend:
Won't Wear: Neon
Will Wear: Leopard Print
"As someone who prefers to stick to a more neutral palette, I will definitely be staying away from the neon color trend this season. However, I'm highly excited about all the animal print that's bubbling up right now and have already ordered these killer Reformation pants upon the suggestion of my co-worker Allyson Payer." — Nicole Akhtarzad
Shop the trend:
Won't Wear: Sheer Clothing Sans Undergarments
Will Wear: Midi Skirts
"I'm not exactly sure how to name it, but the one trend I wouldn't go near is sheer clothing sans undergarments. I don't think I'll ever feel comfortable showing off my body in such a public way like that, but I respect other women who do, especially because it's a subtle form of resistance. Instead, the trend I'm wearing on repeat is midi skirts—I love to pair a high-waisted vintage skirt (ideally one that's asymmetrical) with a white tee or a tube top. It's such an easy outfit formula, and I always feel comfortable, even in this crazy heat." — Lauren Caruso
