From midriff-baring ensembles to vibrant Y2K-inspired looks, New York Fashion Week street style is back and bolder than ever.

The nearly two-year-long fashion week hiatus brought about a generation of stylishly dressed trendsetters for this year's Spring/Summer 2022 New York Fashion Week giving life to the post-pandemic streets of New York in buoyant and daring outfits. The dark days of isolation are coming to an end, and New Yorkers are donned in bright-eyed pieces encapsulating the resurgence of the infamous <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-y2k-makeup-trends-beauty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Y2K </a>era and giving a new definition to fashion liberation as we know it. From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/telfar-bag-security-program-march-edition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Telfar</a> to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/tom-ford-movies-nocturnal-animals-director-netflix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Ford</a>, <a href="https://lofficielusa.com/fashion/moschino-drops-sesame-street-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Moschino</a> to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/facts-about-michael-kors-fashion-designer-age-husband" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Kors</a>, what makes New York Fashion Week one of the most exhilarating events in fashion is the display of New York City-style both on and off the runway.
The exuberance of this season's NYFW street style presented itself with a few key trends unique from fashion week of years past: colorful crystal-embellished masks and eccentric print on print <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/matching-set-summer-2021-fashion-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">co-ords</a> illustrative to the excitement that prevailed over lockdown days. In 2020, designer labels such as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/jason-wu-fall-2021-new-york-fashion-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Wu</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/prabal-gurung-fall-winter-2021-80s-nyfw">Prabal Gurung</a> adapted to the digitized world of fashion broadcasting with virtual shows that allowed only a handful of guests into the event, most of which were a selected group of fashion correspondents for major publications. Though the Spring/Summer 2022 NYFW shows are much smaller than pre-pandemic affairs, with mandates that require mask-wearing throughout the duration of indoor shows, N.Y.C. fashion insiders showcased their undeniable excitement as they were decked out on the streets of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/tory-burch-mercer-street-flagship-store-icp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SoHo</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/janaina-tschape-nina-beier-mandy-el-sayegh-chelsea-galleries">Chelsea</a> well and energized for the fashionable festivities of the week.
