It’s hard to deny that New York City is one of the world’s premier fashion capitals. You can find plenty of style in every one of the five boroughs, yet some neighborhoods are more fashion-inclined than others. I recently came across an article about the New York City neighborhoods that are known for their amazing style choices, listed below:
Meatpacking: Many top designers have set up shop here, and many of the biggest shows and parties of Fashion Week are still held here. Such names as Diane von Furstenberg, Ted Baker and Christian Louboutin can be found here, and the Whitney Museum of American Art recently opened nearby to add to the area’s artsy feel.
Park Slope: With its reputation as a hipster mecca, there’s plenty of people watching to do here. Near Prospect Park and known for its family-friendly atmosphere, it’s also home to several niche boutiques, including Alice Cheng’s local store, a popular destination for fashionable Brooklynites.
Fifth Avenue: The fashion scene here is so ingrained and well-known that you can actually take a shopping tour with a certified fashion guide! Yet you can do just fine without one, as most stores are easy to navigate. Although it’s technically not a neighborhood, Fifth Avenue is synonymous with New York fashion, thanks to names such as Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Harry Winston and Tiffany & Co.
Bushwick: This hipster neighborhood, filled with warehouses decked with graffiti, was named one of the world’s coolest street style neighborhoods by the fashion mag in 2014, and its trendiness has only increased since. Its diverse population has a plentiful combination of thrift stores and vintage boutiques that allow residents the chance to keep updating their wardrobe.
SoHo: Thanks to its wide array of styles, the area south of Houston Street has been dubbed the “Fashion District”. There’s something for everybody here, and the brand here is so recognizable that there was once an entire magazine devoted to detailing the street style.
