NYFW Street Style: 6 Types Of Statement Coats You Need In Your Wardrobe Now

The New York Fashion Week frenzy has subsided, but the style still has us talking and taking notes. The fashion girlies did not play this February. 

Across the city, the streets became their runway, and the shows became their inspiration. NYFW street style was on point each day. And we couldn’t get enough!

Many of the season’s most popular trends were on display and made into unique Black girl fashion slays. HB’s editors saw everything this year, from furs, fringe, and bold colors to belts, leathers, and animal print.

Fantastical themes of whimsy and playfulness flooded the concrete jungle. You could tell fun and creativity were the categories as attendees were truly outside.

Besides trends, much of the diversity of streetwear fashion also came from outside conditions. This February’s fashion week occurred amid all possibilities of winter weather. As fashion lovers went from show to show, they endured everything from warm winter 50-degree days to rain, snow, and below-freezing temps.
