The best street style looks of New York Fashion Week SS26 Welcome back, fashion month

September, the Big Apple, and a fresh wave of hope: this is what the recently concluded NYFW represented for the SS26 season. Compared to the eclecticism of past editions, this week revealed a more sober and mature language, with fewer excesses, a stronger search for personal identity, and a return to contemporary tailoring featuring clean cuts, neutral palettes, and sartorial details reinterpreted through an urban lens. The same was true on the runways, from Willy Chavarria’s debut in womenswear to Khaite and FForme, which continue to showcase minimal elegance season after season, up to the Coach/Tory Burch duo, which confirmed itself as the main spectacle of the first week of the fashion month. With a balanced mix of ready-to-wear and formal, the streets of Manhattan turned into a parallel runway.
