#3: City Chic

While roaming the beautiful 5th Avenue, just around lunch time on the corner of 57th, it was easy to spot some key pieces that were trending this season.  There is of course the obvious fur-mania, which is absolutely the biggest trend I have seen on this side of the city.  Fur vests, fur hats, fur jackets, you name it, I saw it.  I really do love this trend, but what I found to be even more interesting was the amount of different styled jackets and coats.  Since it is still pretty cold out, people were sporting their winter items; however, I was really drawn to the way a jacket could be such a statement piece.  Even in the cold weather, we see New Yorkers dressing up their winter apparel finding new ways to stand out and be trendy. These stylin' jackets are not your ordinary peacoat or puffer; these are truly unique jackets.  I noticed more tailored jackets, jackets with pleating, jackets with capes, color blocked jackets, and even bright colored jackets.

I just love the detailing on this jacket, plus the color is just so different.  Definitely makes a statement in the winter!

  2. I love the outerwear you featured! I am personally obsessed with oversized jackets. I also really enjoyed the images featuring the bright neon colors! Completely agree the coat/cape has become a statement piece for all of us New Yorkers.
