    How to Dress like a New Yorker

    Natalie Matthews
    Lucky



    The backbone of NYC style is something broader-a polished sort of resilience, maybe. Less over-the-knee gladiator sandals with stiletto heels, more chunky ankle boots you can actually walk home from dinner in (because you'll often need to). I guess it's pretty natural that the city that never sleeps or drives anywhere lends itself to a few fitting style hallmarks, pieces that are good for long days without a car to store a change of outfit.

    These are some of my favorites of those staples, as well as a few inexplicably New York-y things that are less of a utility than an acquired taste. Together they make up the streeotypical New York wardrobe. Click through to shop them all, and you'd fit in in New York City any day of the year.

      Motorcycle Denim

      Blame it on Rag & Bone and Isabel Marant, two of the more beloved labels here. They churn out collection after collection of cropped skinnies with zipper details and waxed, leather-looking jeans, and everyone's smitten. Most girls I know use these as a default have-a-drinks-date-but-don't-want-to-wear-a-skirt option. They're ubiquitous.
