The New York City style set is consistently a top-notch resource for fresh sartorial inspiration. After all, New Yorkers are known for that desirable aesthetic that's sleek, comfortable, and easy for those busy lives in the city. Digital content creator Elaine Davis is one of those NYC women that has perfectly mastered that effortless vibe. In fact, she's tested out a lot of trends over the season to narrow down those fresh picks that work with her personal style. There are actually two key trends she considers to be front-runners.
"Knits and faux leather are the two trends that never feel trendy," she said. "I can always count on both when pulling my outfits together during the fall and winter months." If you're looking for inspiration on how to style different knits and faux-leather pieces, Davis shared a range of ideas below that work for her NYC vibe and that could easily work for you, too.
