New York Fashion Week may be over, but the street style lives on. While attendees were dressed to the nines, models had to prioritize outfits that balanced style with practicality.
As ever, model-off-duty style can offer up some ideas for our own wardrobes—especially in these dreary winter days. For fall 2026, funnel neck jackets, Valentine’s Day-ready knits, and It-bags were among the modeling world’s must-haves.
Below, have a look at some of the best model-off-duty style from New York Fashion Week’s fall 2026 season.
Cool Outerwear
Funnel necks, Matrix-esque coats, shawl collars, and shearling ruled MOD style. Pair them with balloon trousers, leather pants, baseball caps, and Wayfarer sunglasses.
Bursts of Color
It’s no surprise that models were all in on pink and red this past week: it was Valentine’s Day, after all. Some opted for bright scarves (including the covetable Alexander McQueen skull scarf), while others went for eye-catching outerwear.
Cozy Knits
Layering is key this winter! A precious Ralph Lauren teddy bear sweater pairs well with a slouchy indigo Canadian tuxedo, while a bright red hoodie livens up a brown duster. And you can never go wrong with a sweater thrown over your shoulders!
