An Ode to the New York Style Icons of Today

In a world of influencer-driven style and copy-and-paste reproductions, what makes someone’s ensemble interesting? As we established when dissecting New York icons of the past, there is no perfect formula. You can just feel when someone is dressing for themselves, circumventing trends, and sidestepping sartorial cliches. Now, we turn our attention to the present for a collection of outfits that transcend eras. The key? Timeless design. Here in New York, we infuse that enduring aesthetic with a uniquely downtown, urban ethos that this city’s style icons effortlessly exude whether they’re snacking on a croissant at Sant Ambroeus or grabbing a martini at Fanelli’s. Between their sharp tailoring, clean silhouettes, and tongue-in-cheek pairings, these energetic New Yorkers prove the city’s style ethos is alive and well.
