Summer has officially arrived in the vibrant streets of New York City, and the street-style sightings are amazing. I’m seeing every it-dress and major trend every time I step outside of my building—this is why I live in New York. Fashion-conscious New Yorkers are quick to embrace the latest trends and with the cost of living in this city, they somehow find a way to do it all while keeping their budgets in check.
I’ve curated a list of both accessible (which to me is everything under $350) and stylish items that I’m convinced the coolest of New Yorkers would add to cart. Whether it’s that Zara top that’s seconds away from going viral or an it-buy that’s already sold out—you can count on me to find the best of the best. Below, discover 31 items that you need to see for your eyes.
