11 memorable street style looks from NYFW featuring natural hair
New York Fashion Week (NYFW) is a bi-annual event showcasing the latest fashion designs from established and up and coming designers, but one of the most notable aspects of NYFW is happening off the runways: street style. Here are 11 unforgettable NYFW street style looks featuring natural hairstyles.
I personally love a head-to-toe monochrome look, but what makes this one special are the mix of textures and unique accessories. The matching set from Ulla Johnson is a look on its own, and mixing in the tiny crossbody bag with multicolored green stones, silver jewelry and a textured top upgrades this fit to a new level. What makes this fit truly unforgettable though, is of course, the hair. A perfect mix of classic straight backs with a twist (literally), mirrors the elegance and intricate details that make the outfit so special.

I love how the box braids blend with the sunglasses, boots, and yellow coat to give this look a cohesive feel from head-to-toe. Long skirts and tall boots have been trending all year, and this take on the feminine style goes even bolder with the fur accents, mix of fabrics, and pops of color.

Classic waist-length box braids, a monochrome blue patterned floral fit and purse from Carolina Herrera, and a blue fur coat are perfectly matched with silver jewelry and simple makeup. Another great example of how to do monochrome but make it your own.

An extra long fishtail braid really gives this look the wow factor, but it’s matched closely by the futurist sunglasses and gaudy accessories. The orange outfit pairs beautifully with the multicolored and reddish toned braids and is the perfect example of how your hair can make or break the whole outfit. IYKYK!

Topping off the list with a favorite casual street style look. At first glance, this might look like an ordinary outfit, but after further investigation it’s clear this is cool girl NYC street style at its best. What I love about this outfit is the expertise in mixing casual, classic, and trendy items together, and of course the forever cool girl curly hightop/bob and a bold red lip. Consider me influenced, because I’m honestly trying to figure out how I can pull this look off with what I already have in my closet.
