New York Fashion Week Street Style Embraced a Ladylike Agenda—7 Outfits to Re-create

The fall 2025 New York Fashion Week shows have officially ended, and the city-dwelling street style scene is always one to watch. I mean, who does New York better than New Yorkers? Amid what felt like an eternity of larger-than-life silhouettes, it seems a new sartorial tide has turned. While you’ll never not see oversized shapes and head-to-boot monochromatic looks, a demure and sophisticated approach dominated the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn: ladylike dressing.

How to Get the Ladylike Look:

• The Leather Glove: Apparis Gwen faux-leather long gloves, $145
• The Tweed Coat: Liberowe tweed imperial coat, $3,000
• The Brooch: Jennifer Behr Antinea faux-pearl-and-crystal brooch, $250
• The Suede Clutch: Khaite Audrey clutch, $2,200
• The Fine Knit: Massimo Dutti alpaca-blend sweater, $140
• The Oxblood Mini Bag: Loewe Puzzle bag, $4,150
• The Navy Pant: Veronica Beard Cole wide-leg pants, $398
• The Little Brown Bag: Miu Miu Aventure leather top-handle bag, $3,800
• The Pump: Saint Laurent Anne Marie leather pumps, $1,100

Structured jackets (some collarless, some cinched at the waist) first arrived on the scene last spring, and now we’re seeing these feminine sensibilities influence other categories. Showgoers embraced the modern lady, taking cues from the past with long leather gloves peeking out from elegant outerwear or affixed onto belts, brooches pinned to jacket lapels, and an array of silk scarves to add a burst of color and lightweight warmth (it’s still winter!). For an easy transition into the new season, there are a plethora of ladylike goodies—and styling tips—to take from the NYFW scene.

From fitted coats and classic blazers to leather gloves, skinny belts, and more, here are our favorite street style looks to re-create from the uptown-meets-downtown-meets-Brooklyn crowd.

Buttoned to the Top

Spotting a trench coat during Fashion Week is a given, considering February’s damp and windy climate, but a funnel-neck silhouette is a feminine iteration of the classic. Wear yours as a dress, and add a minimalist bag, lined tights for warmth, and a pair of pumps.

Cinch the Waist—Then Add Extra Detail

Throughout fashion month so far, we’ve noticed guests nip in coats with skinny belts to create a figure-flattering moment amid all the heavy, oversized outerwear. In this look, the accessories get center stage; tuck a pair of gloves into your belt to remain winter-ready at all times.

Go Full-On Lady Who Lunches

Many of these street style moments have a feminine lean, but this look from Jenny Walton (our vintage extraordinaire) goes full-on lady of leisure. Embrace those character tones with a crystal brooch from Jennifer Behr, and pin it to a cropped jacket from Marni. Make sure to Jane Birkin–ify your bag with charms and keychains.

Pile on the Texture

Winter is cold, but February is colder—and showgoers understood the assignment on bundling up. Here, we see layers take on a softness with neutral hues, fuzzy knitting, and a houndstooth print. Similar to the tassel phenomenon we saw debut on the fall-winter 2025 runways (at Altuzarra, Kallmeyer, and Tory Burch, for starters), one showgoer showcased a vintage bag with a tassel charm attachment.

Make the Coat the Outfit

This simple yet stylish outfit looks extra ladylike thanks to a few choice details: a slim-fit coat in navy blue, a purse cinching the waist, and a pair of yellow shoes packed with embellishments.
