While New Yorkers tend to dress well all year round, their cold weather style is where it really gets good, IMHO. As soon as the weather cools, you can spot NYC girls breaking out chic new outerwear looks, test-driving the latest denim trends, and playing around with some creative layering ideas.

We're now taking cues from these stylish New York women and leaning into low-key, casual dressing. From elevated legging looks to comfy knitted dresses you can wear both inside and out, we're looking to the below nine NYC outfits to guide our style.

1. Leather Jacket + Relaxed Trousers

Take your leather-jacket looks to a whole new level by opting for trendy puddle trousers that feel especially fresh. Throw on a baseball hat for a casual finish.

2. Tailored Vest + Trousers

Extend the shelf life of your vest sets by wearing them as tops now and layered under blazers when the weather gets colder.

3. Blazer + Basic Top + Loose Jeans

If you do wear jeans, make this casual formula your new go-to. Wear loose-fitting or wide-leg denim with a basic tank, tee, or bodysuit, and top it off with a blazer and flats. It's simple but looks so chic.

4. Coordinating Sweats

Just because we're no longer wearing sweats 24/7 doesn't mean we're ditching them completely, either. In fact, we have a newfound appreciation for a matching set in a pretty color. Wear one with tall socks and throwback sneakers for the ultimate cozy-cool vibe.

5. Ribbed-Knit Dress

Knit dresses are another cold-weather trend that's deceivingly comfortable and easily dressed up or down—it all depends on the shoes and accessories.

6. Sweater + Slip Dress

Slip dresses rose to a new level of popularity this summer, so we predict that fashion girls will keep wearing them into fall with the addition of a cute cardigan thrown over.

7. Turtleneck + Shacket

If you wore the shacket trend last fall, well, congrats, because it's not going anywhere. Look for one that's printed or in a non-neutral color and style it unbuttoned over a monochrome base.

8. Longline Outerwear

Fall means jacket weather—no doubt about it. This fall, longline trench coats and more are set to be the outerwear of choice among the stylish NYC set.

9. Socks With Loafers

To give loafers (and other flat shoes) a quirky-cool update, simply style them with tall socks. Bonus points if your socks come in an eye-catching color or a pretty print.
