Fashion family metaphors could go kinda like this; there is a high-end fashion as a wiser elder and then there is its younger less appreciated cousin, called street style. Street style is heavily becoming important today in the influence of high-end luxury. We need to notice the trends being set outside of the united States and how they can even affect styles here.
These styles could potentially trickle up into styles used by Balenciaga, Chanel or any other luxury brand. So I would absorb these diverse styles before you see it in the next possible runway of Autumn/ Winter of 2017.
New York (Women)
Soft neutral tones emerge as colors of choice for women on the snow-covered New York streets. The overall mood leans towards a relaxed chic, ranging between elegant and casual looks. Voluminous layering is key: women pair their favorite denims with drapey blanket ponchos, long-line shacket hybrids and roomy overcoats.
New York (Men)
New York men brace chilly January streets, making a statement with multiple layering. Long tailored jackets cover layers of textural contrasts, knits, and quilted nylon, resulting in varying hemline proportions. The overall sophisticated look gets a streetwear vibe when mixed with hooded sweats and casual footwear.
Seoul (Women)
Girls in Seoul embrace bulky plush jackets to stay warm. Sueded shearlings and piled furry fleece adorn outerwear and caps alike, adding a cosy tactile update. Comfort remains key with girls easily blending sneakers with multiple outfits for casual contemporary looks.
Seoul (Men)
Young men on the streets of Seoul resort to bulky multi-layering to combat the cold. While hoods are trimmed with thick furs, suede shearling appears on jackets and caps. Overall styling is casual, mixing slim denim bottoms with chunky woolens, flannel shirts, truckers and heavy padded outerwear.
London (Women)
Women on the streets of London beat the January blues by working bold pops of color into their ensembles. Classic bottoms are paired with statement jackets or bright separates featuring vibrant mixes of pattern and color. High-contrast accessories add further fun to these eclectic, youthful looks.
London (Men)
Men in London look to strongly nostalgic retro looks for January, with colorful accessories, collegiate batches and vintage embroideries accenting black and indigo looks.
