@elizagracehuberChunky sneakers are great to have for extra traction, but if you're in need of a new pair, do what the New Yorkers do and opt for a sleeker retro style instead.

@indyabrownSport-inspired sunglasses are having more of a moment. It's totally fine if you want to give your micro sunglasses a spin, but NYC girls are gravitating more toward shield sunnies now, and it's easy to see why with these cool protective styles that have wraparound lenses.
Keep harmful UV rays out of your eyes with this pink pair.
Go for a Matrix vibe with this thin design that still has sporty wraparound lenses.
Can't go wrong with a simple black pair.
This shield shape ensures your eyewear is the focal point of any look.

@chrissyfordThe next time you have the urge to add yet another leather blazer to your closet, get yourself a dramatically long coat instead. They are the outfit, and you'll be much more bundled up when the temperatures start dropping.
This structured double-breasted maxi coat is one you'll have in your wardrobe forever.

@meccajwYou might have long abandoned your skinnies, but if you're still holding on to yours, consider trying a pair of roomy carpenter jeans. The contrast stitching, hammer loops, and extra pockets give a utilitarian feel to your look and add extra details to your denim.
If you want ones with a slight flare at the hem, look no further.

@fashionwithjazzThis was the year for platforms, but if you're looking for an equally striking shoe trend that gives you height, get yourself metallic heels. They're still a neutral and go with any outfit you put together. Plus, they have a bit more pizzazz than brown or black ones and would be great for any holiday parties you have coming up.

@champagnemaniMiu Miu made the pleated mini the ultimate trend this year. If you've stocked up on enough of the shorter skirts and are looking for something that feels a little more new, midi skirts are something I've seen pop up in the NYC street style scene—column styles are dominating, or try pleats over pants if you're more daring.

@dylanasuarezFor winter headwear, NYC girls are all about snoods to keep their noggins warm. You might still see berets appear while you're out, but rest assured, snoods and balaclavas will only continue to rise in popularity. You better get in on them now.
Wrap your head in this cashmere snood and you'll look like pure luxury.
This ribbed one works as both a scarf and a snood when you unroll it.
