To say this winter in New York City has been brutal would be a massive understatement. Still, the shows must go on — or at least the New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026 shows, that is. No, a frigid forecast hasn’t deterred guests from the festivities, or from delivering chic, cold-weather street style moments.
Leave it to the New York fashion set — and those in town for the week — to crack the code on cold weather dressing without sacrifice style. On Tuesday evening, the eve before NYFW’s official kick off, Ralph Lauren drew in a group of impeccably dressed women, many of which bundled up in luxe outerwear. Some street style stars proved the power of faux fur coats, while others combatted the cold in suede fringe-adorned jackets — a telltale sign of a Ralph Lauren show. Meanwhile, at Coach, leather reigned supreme, with attendees arriving in long trench coats, knee-high boots, and slouchy bags.
Keep scrolling below for a gallery of the best street style moments spotted outside the New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026 shows. Hopefully, these looks will inspire you to reinvent your winter style.
