What to Wear: Spring ‘08 Trends on the Streets of New York
The warm, beautiful weather we have had recently in New York has given us the hope that we can put away our big coats and boots. This last week I walked the streets of Soho to see what spring fashion trends I am seeing on the locals on the streets of New York City.
Leggings All of the major fashion mags may have said that leggings are out but there are still quite a few girls rocking this look on the street. Remember, these are not to be work in place of pants, so always wear this look with a long shirt (one that covers your posterior!) or dress. (Bonus points to the girl wearing the leggings in the above photo for pairing them with patent flats!)
Converse High-top or low-top, for men or women, in any color Converse are back and they are back BIG! This retro favorite is worn by hipsters, rockers, and preps alike.
Flats Tory Burch flats may be all the rage in L.A. (and in some Upper East Side circles) but they are almost nowhere to be seen in downtown New York. Instead, opt for metallic flats which are hot for spring. Word is that we can look for patent to come back later this season. Flats can be paired with just about anything, from skinny jeans (which are still being worn) to dresses with leggings.
BONUS: A Whole Foods Reusable Shopping Bag Yeah, I thought this was a little strange as well… but at least one in five people had one of the new Whole Foods bags slung over their shoulder. Of course, I was on Bowery, just a few blocks from the Bowery Whole Foods.
