Runway fashions aside, readers want to know what is currently being worn on the streets of New York - the true indicator of what's hot and what's coming to Minnesota...eventually. So here are some highlights:
- Boots, boots, all kinds of fabulous boots. From ankle to above the knee varieties. Most popular is standard tall boots, both flat or high heel. Most importantly, pants must be tucked in. From skinny jeans to black leggings, the boots are the statement. And they need not be all matchy-matchy with the rest of the outfit. I saw a trendsetter wearing a gray and yellow top (a color you'll see a ton of this spring) and skinny black pants tucked into brown boots. It looked good. Seriously.
- Bags, bags, fabulous bags. It's nothing new, but it sure is continuing. The bag is the key piece -- the one fashion lovers are always willing to splurge on. They're not as huge as they were a season or two ago, but still substantial. Metallics and patent leather are big finishes.
- Sweater dresses. Well, calling some of them "dresses" would be a stretch. But girls are wearing longer sweaters -- more clingy than bulky -- with thick tights or skinny pants tucked into boots.
- Statement coats. Outerwear is as much a necessity in New York as it is at home (maybe more so, since there are no skyways), and it is definitely not an afterthought. Coats are fitted, patterned, embellished and fur trimmed -- often the highlight of the ensemble.
- Fur hats. I've mentioned this already but it's worth repeating. The hats are huge, furry and luxurious.
