As a fashion trend analyst, I get a constant stream of outfit inspiration simply by living in New York City. All I need to do is ride the subway or walk to a bodega to see the hottest up-and-coming fall trends<\/a>. The main ones to look for this season? Olive suede bags, cerulean blue tees, fringe jackets<\/a>, and zebra-print shoes.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, I\u2019ve curated several fall outfit ideas inspired by current trends taking over the city streets. For your own fall mood board, here\u2019s a taste of what the most stylish women across the five boroughs will be wearing when the weather turns.<\/p>\n

Cerulean Hues With Zebra Print Accessories \"fall<\/p>\n

Andy Sachs would certainly approve of the cerulean blue<\/a> hues trending in New York City this season. The color pairs well with tan and butter yellow, another one of the year\u2019s key shades. And animal print accessories remain as popular as ever, with zebra, tiger, and deer prints leading the charge.<\/p>\n

Athletic wear remains a key influence for casual attire. After a spring of rugby tees and a summer of soccer jerseys<\/a>, New Yorkers have anointed baseball tees as fall\u2019s must-have top. You\u2019ll often see sporty styles juxtaposed against polished trousers, pencil skirts, and ladylike pumps.<\/p>\n

New Yorkers aren\u2019t known to follow rules when it comes to getting dressed, so they\u2019ll be wearing white jeans well past Labor Day. Tomato-red sweaters and crewneck sweatshirts add a nice pop of color to neutral looks.<\/p>\n

Olive green<\/a> appears to be the new burgundy. Expect slips, boots, bags, sweaters, and just about everything else to take on a mossy hue this season.<\/p>\n

From Midtown to Dumbo, you\u2019ll see New York City women in ruffled maxi dresses with boho vibes. Minimalist cowboy boots and a suede bag add a Western element without looking out of place on the city streets.<\/p>\n

New Yorkers are often wearing ballet flats (namely Maison Margiela Tabis<\/a>) with bootcut jeans. The late-2000s styling reference feels particularly modern among the city\u2019s infamous all-black palette.<\/p>\n

Classic white tees and dark-wash denim make the perfect backdrop for this season\u2019s bold fringe jackets and bags. You\u2019ll see many looks finished with oversized aviators and tassel necklaces.<\/p>\n

Knee-high boots will help transition Bermuda shorts and baggy capris into fall. On warmer days, women in trendy neighborhoods like Soho and Williamsburg will finish the look with a white tank or fitted tee, then add a suede jacket or slouchy sweater when the weather turns.<\/p>\n

An oversized plaid button-up is a key layering piece for fall. Trendsetters in Manhattan neighborhoods like the West Village and the Lower East Side have been mixing them with other checked prints.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s leopard jeans have been replaced by camo print cargos. Minimalist funnel-neck jackets and fashion-forward flats bring polish to baggy printed bottoms.<\/p>\n
