NYFW Street Style Day 1: Rules Were Made For Breaking

Starting off on a high note

by Bailey Calfee

This NYFW has started off with the kind of weather that makes us think we're melting, but rather than stay inside, where the air-conditioning is, we're braving the sweaty streets. After all, there are shows to go to, people to see, and looks to lust over—and not just on the runway. Day 1 of NYFW featured street style stars offering up their edgiest looks. Fashion rules were broken and political statements were made, turning the streets into a place for protest and rebellion rather than conformity. We're not going with the flow anymore—we're making our own rules.

Check out the best of the first day of NYFW, below.

Teams who attend shows together, stay together. Our associate fashion and beauty editor, Jenna Igneri; managing editor, Irina Grechko; and editor in chief, Gabrielle Korn aren't letting the summer heat get to them.

The only bra worth wearing is one that also holds your phone-keys-wallet.

These accessories make even a classic white shirt scream fashion.
