Outside Fashion Month runways, there's a land where personal expression and peacocking flourish. With street-style fashion trends, anything—indeed, anything—can go. And that's half the fun of it. This season's showgoers proved formal dress codes are out and that the real world can, and often does, function as an in-action spring 2024 trend report.
Street style trends call on timeless codes and classics, but they also integrate exciting personal twists. According to the street style set, there's no one correct way to wear your sweater, and an "It" bag isn't always what you'd expect: on day one of New York Fashion Week, we counted three logo-less buckets, two vintage coin purses, and one extra large tote bag that went far beyond "ludicrously capacious." Bolder stylings like micro hot pants and early aughts mainstays made for refreshing styling moments that strayed from the status quo.
