In between shows and showroom appointments, we managed to squeeze in some much-needed people watching in two totally different locales during Fashion Week in NYC: Lincoln Center (the epicenter of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week) and the hip, brownstone-lined streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Where the scene in Lincoln Center mid fashion week was more edgy and runway-inspired, Williamsburg had a decidedly more laid-back approach to style.

Here are a few of the fashionable guys and gals we met during our style-stalking sessions:

Left: Dapper dudes in chambray and sleek suiting. Right: Leopard print leggings tamed with a sheer, relaxed top.

Left: A lovely pair with mint lace and rich scarlet hues. Right: Rocking the collar trend along with an awesome pair of patent loafers.

Left: Denim + leather skirt + pops of purple = amazing. Right: A couple of stylish fellas rocking the cropped jeans with tailored pieces.

Left: Checkered suit and a cobalt bag. Need we say more?  Right: Definitely in the running for best-dressed couple!

Right: White skinny jeans transitioning into fall. Left: Breaking up the neutral pieces with a pop of red denim!

Left: The chambray denim shirt done in an effortless way. Right: Another easy denim look we adore. Simple, casual, yet so chic.

Our style editing team was in NYC for Fashion Week and decided to do a little bit of people watching in SoHo. They saw so many stylish guys and girls walking around, they decided it would be fun to do a little “street style” action!

Check out a few well-dressed examples our stylists ran into around SoHo:

Selena: She pulls off the wide leg trouser so perfectly! Very Euro-chic.

Lauren T: Lauren works for Nicole Miller, so it’s no surprise that she pulls off such effortless style.

Erin M: This London resident looks fabulous in her chic neutral palette.

Colin R: Cardigans and scarves are always a great style staple for men!

Tremell H: The classic pea coat looks unexpectedly cool mixed with a Nordic-print sweater and funky denim.

Marc A: His classic-with-a-twist take on the trench is just so cool!

Jack and Valerie: This stylish couple looks perfectly pulled together in clean classics.

Pair this fresh cardigan with a clean solid tee and your favorite pair of jeans.
