Despite what feels like one of the hottest New York Fashion Weeks on record, there’s no denying things are off to a strong start. A quick recap thus far: Stuart Vevers celebrated his 10-year anniversary at Coach with a celebrity-filled show and dinner (J.Lo! Anna Wintour! Lola Tung!). Buci took over the picture-perfect Prospect Park Boathouse for its phenomenal runway debut. Peter Do presented his first collection as creative director of Helmut Lang, and, of course, it focused in on incredible tailoring. This season’s attendees aren’t holding back in the sartorial department, either, as exhibited by the NYFW Spring/Summer 2024 street style. Because no, not even a heatwave could prevent the fashion crowd from churning out their coolest lewks.

Given the aforementioned scorching temperatures, flowy, light-as-a-feather dresses seems to be a popular choice for the style set. One of TZR’s favorite numbers so far? Street style star Chloe King’s print-heavy asymmetric look. In terms of accessories, ALAÏA beloved studded ballet flats are, to no one’s surprise, out in full force. (I, for one, already spotted a pair at Collina Strada.) All in all, attendees are serving up endless outfit inspiration in the Big Apple.

Without further ado, keep scrolling for the best street style outfits captured by photographer Darrel Hunter. Reminder: Check back on this post until the last day of NYFW on Sept. 13, as TZR will update the gallery daily.
