Sure, some trends are born on the runways—but they really flourish on the streets outside the shows. From New York to Paris, we're taking notes from the most stylish women who are approaching fashion in new ways. Whether it's decorating our new handbag with playful stickers, or doubling up on everyone's favorite animal print—add these tricks to your repertoire for spring.
#THELIST: NEW STYLING TIPS FROM THE STREET STYLE SET
Lifestyle
Double Leopard
While it's still a fashion faux pas to mix your animal prints, doubling up is a chic option to try. The trick here is to make sure each piece has a neutral element in between.
Add a Sticker to Your Bag
Anya Hindmarch's alphabet leather stickers were street style favorites last season, but they've inspired a whole new school of bag decoration. If your classic tote has gotten a little boring, simply add a sparkly sticker of your own.
Bomber Squad
The bomber has replaced the motorcycle jacket as the coolest outerwear piece du jour. It's relaxed, sporty and always lends a bit of cool to ladylike skirts or an evening dress.
The New Layering
Whether in leather or cotton—skirts have become the new It layering piece. They add dimension over lace-up flares and a chunky knit, or try one over a shirtdress peaking out from underneath.
Top It Off with a Kimono
Long sweeping duster coats have been replaced by the kimono for a more bohemian touch to long languid looks.
Camel + Army Green
A recipe for street-style success, pairing a sleek camel knit with the ubiquitous green bomber for a look that's equal parts polished and cool.
