It's the best time of year if you're a beauty and fashion fan—New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 is wrapping up and the streets have been awash with the city's most stylish attendees. And while it's incredible to see the upcoming season's looks on the runways, I'd argue that the best fashion show is on the streets themselves. The outfits are serving and the hair, makeup, and nails never disappoint. Would you expect anything less from the street style set?
So far the most popular hair trends of the week are overwhelmingly blunt bangs and lived-in curls and waves. That undone, messy texture—the type that suggests you just rolled out of bed before your morning meeting or 9am fashion show—is hotter than ever, and frankly, sexy as hell. Meanwhile, if you're still loyal to your flat iron, a set of bold, blunt bangs seems to be the season's preferred way to wear a fringe, and the contrast between the two styles proves there's a haircut and style for every beauty aesthetic.
