It’s true that wedges are a city girl’s best friend. Take a cue from Babba and wear them in a mesmerizing color (like this bold red that keeps the shoes from feeling too practical). Pair them with a midi skirt from the opposite side of the color wheel for a coordinated but striking look. An easy yet eye-catching outfit like this one is cute and comfortable enough to wear all day long—a magic formula every New Yorker always has in her back pocket.
Living in the city means the majority of your time is probably spent en route. So a chic pair of sunnies to protect you on the go is a nonnegotiable. And while versatility is key, Babba’s ultra-stylish pair is proof that changeability most certainly does not equal boring. One thing every NYC girl knows: The bolder the glasses, the better to brunch.
Honestly, this entire outfit speaks to us. But it’s the platform sneakers that are making a true NYC statement. Paired with snappy suiting (take note of the shape of those cropped trousers), they keep this polished look feeling all kinds of cool and not at all corporate. Babba’s outfit masterfully mixes casual and formal pieces all in one look, a style NYC girls practically invented (here’s looking at you, commuter shoes).
Feast your eyes on this chic little bag that’s stealing the spotlight on Babba’s already incredible look. Skipping through crowds, weaving through the subways and navigating the line at the juice bar are all done easier with a sleek backpack. A cool blazer, an asymmetrical dress and black sneakers are a great base for this NYC essential that is a perfect marriage of wearable and unabashedly chic.
For the nights (or even days) when you can’t be bothered with a tote, a sleek crossbody bag is a New York staple. Besides, all you really need are your phone, MetroCard and multistick anyway, right? Babba’s bold look takes it a step further by going high contrast. Her gorgeous cobalt jumpsuit makes her bright-red bag stand out even more, showing off all its fun little details, like the elongated shape and cute metal charms.
