And that's a wrap on New York Fashion Week! Each year we look forward to the peacock-ing pomp and circumstance that surrounds fashion's bi-annual event almost as much as the runway shows themselves. Street style has become an event for fashion's movers and shakers to get creative with the latest from luxury and indie designers.
While the street style looks we saw this season were every bit as flashy as their predecessors, they didn't quite hit their stride. Where past events have been a hot spot for discovering new styling tips, new "must-have" handbags, and new brands, there was a lot of the same old, same old. But that's not to say there weren't a few standout trends that we're still adding to our shopping lists. If anything, the most worn street style pieces reinforced all of the items we loved from the AW18 runways (read: cheetah, suiting, and neon). And best of all? They're actually available for purchase. Ahead, find 10 influencer- and editor-approved trends to venture into this Autumn.
There is a lot of product out there — some would say too much. At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team, but if you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
Animal Prints
We all knew the onslaught of leopard and cheetah prints was coming. They were rampant on the runways in February and have only exploded in stores since. For a more unexpected route, opt for the zebra and snakeskin, which are making just as big of an appearance.

Blazers Over Dresses
There's always one good styling takeaway that emerges. Ditch the pantsuit and pair your blazer with a midi- to maxi-length dress or skirt instead.

Belt Bags
The belt bag trend is still raging, but instead of sporty packs worn as a crossbody, influencers and editors are leaning towards more sophisticated styles worn around the waist.
