Back to the Basics: New York City Street Style

Who doesn’t own a good old fashioned pair of blue jeans? This trendy, yet relaxed and comfortable denim staple has become a hot commodity on the streets of New York City.

Although commonly seen as a means for casual and lazy days, denim jeans can certainly be dressed up to appear more stylish and classy. Within New York City in particular, many women are seen going about their daily lives, sporting a pair of jeans with a fluffy jacket and solid boots to match.

The best thing about jeans is that everyone owns at least one pair. With varying styles and agendas, many people put their own fun twist to an otherwise classic piece.

With such a common closet must-have, it’s important to be creative with different shoes and accessories in order to stand out among the crowd. A quirky little handbag or intricately designed pair of flats would certainly be able to do the job.

The best part about New York City is the fast-paced environment. Whether taking a casual stroll along the busy streets or rushing up the avenues to beat the subway wait times, it’s nearly impossible to miss a good pair of denim on any one passing individual.

An essential piece for all: both men and women are seen comfortably showing off their personal styles. Blue jeans come in all sorts of different sizes and shapes. An outfit is only truly put together when an individual radiates that confident, yet unique aura.

Different kinds of men are seen all throughout the city, pairing the classic denim jeans with a cool retro cap, or perhaps more professionally with a sleek vest over a casual long-sleeve top or button down. Additionally, boots can add a refreshing twist to an otherwise informal ensemble.

In group settings, there will almost always be at least one person wearing jeans. Being such a popular closet essential, it’s no question how common and simple it truly is.

In other cases, it may come to no surprise that within one small group in particular, everyone is wearing jeans. It’s also amusing to note that everyone in the far right photo is also wearing sneakers, giving off that infamous comfy-casual vibe.

However, some individuals can stand out just with the distinct style of the infamous bottoms. The center photo features a woman in a ’70s-style flared denim. She puts the entire look together with a long padded jacket and subtle black boots.

To switch things up from a busy city environment, basic blue jeans are also a popular find within college student style on campus. Pictured here are three different girls wearing the classic denim bottoms, all styled similar yet different with only the slightest distinctions.

From flats, to sneakers, or even boots, jeans can give off many different energies. From being comfy and practical, to presentable and stylish, it’s always fun to experiment with all kinds of looks.

Lastly, pictured at the center is a girl who wears a specific style of jeans different from the rest. The bottoms are cuffed and slightly ripped, tying in a refreshing variation to an otherwise common find.
