If there are two iconic cities for the world of fashion, they are Paris and New York. Both present different muses and styles that try to lead us towards one team or the other. We already analyzed in Bezzia the keys of parisian style Do you remember them? Today we do the same with him Big Apple style.
In a city with more than eight million inhabitants and a fast pace, making a difference is a must for those who want to stand out. Hence, New Yorkers dare to unusual mixes They often reflect the style of the area of the city from which they come. Thus, girls in jeans, T-shirts and sneakers walk through its streets with others who opt for dresses and high-heeled sandals. All of them tend to have something in common, however, their ability to combine luxury garments and accessories with other low cost ones.
Traits of the New York style
Uptown girl, brooklyn or east village?
Each area of the city has its own style. Hence, we can enjoy in the streets of New York a great diversity. A diversity that captivates the visitor and invites them to have fun with fashion and to express themselves freely through it, simulating uptown, soho or east village girls.
El preppy style characterizes the Uptown girls, impeccably dressed but bold girls who play with straight pants, minidresses and trench coats during the winter and combine these with iconic accessories from international fashion brands. Less "rigid" is the style of Soho women who, from some of the most exclusive lofts in the city, go out for a walk around the city choosing flowing dresses, XL cardigans ...
Brooklyn is synonymous with diversity and fun. The eclectic style of those who walk through its streets is striking. A style that exudes freedom and who is not afraid to play with bold patterns and colors. And the east village girl? She is a woman with a young spirit who likes to experiment with fashion and wear alternative pieces and who always has a space reserved for denim in her wardrobe.
Basic garments
What are those clothes with which we can emulate the girls of the Big Apple? Bomber jackets, leather jackets and parkas are the stars of spring. New Yorkers, as we can see during Fashion Week, superimpose them, offering an image of an underground character.
Jeans become the best ally for those looking for a relaxed look. Combine them with a shirt that shows the brand of the person who designed it and some slippers is the order of the day in a city with a fast pace, which tends to drag you along. A city, on the other hand, in which casual and sport go hand in hand.
In that same city we will also find women raising their hands before the passing of a taxi wearing skinny pants or dresses that combined with high high-top sandals lengthen your legs. As a top garment they will probably wear a shirt, always with the sleeves rolled up!
La diplomatic line it also plays a big role in New York fashion. Inspired by the executives of the Big Apple, there are many who adapt this pattern to their day to day, combining formal garments: pants or blazers with this pattern, with crop tops or T-shirts.
Three New York-style looks
Rachael Wang, Danielle Prescod, Leandra Medine, Linda Rodin or Blair Eadie are just a few references of New York fashion. In their styles we have been inspired to show them three looks that represent the Different personalities from New York City. Looks that on the other hand it will not be difficult for you to imitate this spring.
Hairstyles
There is no single hairstyles that defines the New York style. As with fashion, we find opposite proposals. The preppy looks are usually completed with molded manes with a stripe in the middle and some kind of accessory: headband, scarf, hat ...
There is in addition to this other trend that points to the naturalness and "scruffy" hairstyles. Californian waves and semi-gathered ones with tufts in the wind are great alternatives. The "improvised" bows are also very popular, in all their versions, to bring a relaxed touch to the look.
Makeup
New York women are candid and determined women. Makeup should represent that duality. How? Betting on some rosy cheeks that add sweetness to the look and a marked lip color that shows a certain boldness. An alternative that we wanted to accompany other more "extreme".
A natural look can be the best alternative to complete a sporty and / or casual look. You will only need a good makeup base, eyeliner and a light blush on the cheeks, almost imperceptible. Along with this we wanted to show you an alternative of grunge inspiration with lips in very dark burgundy tones.
