So yes, we just had to learn more about what she wore and spotted while in NYC. As she shared on her Instagram account, she was energized by the fashion inspiration.
Koszarek told us that she "gravitates toward easy, carefree-chic dressing," and that's what she spotted all over the streets of NYC. Below, you'll uncover the trends and effortless pieces Koszarek saw and also is wearing. There are also shopping recommendations for each trend if you want to add a few fall staples to your own wardrobe.
Long Skirts
"I love the long-skirt trend I spotted in NYC. Long skirts are easy to style and always look chic. Whether it's denim, pleated, or a sleek column silhouette, they always look effortless and put-together, especially when paired with sneakers, loafers, ballet flats, or boots." — Koszarek
Structured Blazers
"I'm a big fan of blazers, and spotting this trend on the streets of New York was exciting. They are easy to style and instantly elevate any outfit. I noticed that oversize, tailored, or structured blazers were the preferred choices." — Koszarek
Loafers
"Loafers are an easy-to-wear trend that's both comfortable and stylish. I like wearing them, so I was excited to see this trend on the streets of NYC styled with jeans, trousers, and skirts. Socks were optional!" — Koszarek
Trousers
"Trousers continue to trend this season! I spotted them casually paired with sneakers and loafers, proving their versatility. They're quickly becoming my fall go-to pants." — Koszarek
Ballet Flats and Mary Janes
"I noticed the easy shoe trend, ballet flats and Mary Janes, worn on the streets of NYC. They were perfectly paired with skirts and dresses. A charming and comfy choice!" — Koszarek
Wide-Leg Jeans
"Wide-leg jeans caught my eye as an easy standout trend. Pair them with heels or boots and throw on a blazer for that effortlessly chic look." — Koszarek
White Sneakers
"Sneakers are an easy trend to wear and are perfect for expressing your style. In NYC, I noticed a wide variety of white classic to sporty styles. Wear them with skirts, trousers, and jeans; socks are optional." — Koszarek
Denim on Denim
"Denim on denim, or the 'Canadian tuxedo,' was a trend I spotted in NYC. It's an easy, relaxed look that works. For an elevated take, go for the full denim suit!" — Koszarek
