Essence Street Style NYFW Fall Winter ‘24 — Day 2

Day two of New York Fashion Week was a success with a plethora of different looks from an array of aesthetics worn by stylish attendees. Chic attendees gathered for additional shows and presentations like Eckhaus Latta, Proenza Schouler and Alice & Olivia. The Black In Fashion Council Discovery Showroom which featured designers like Nia Thomas, Amari Carter, and more also was well attended by a sharply dressed crowd. 

It was a bit warmer on day two so showgoers only had the light wind to cope with rather than frigid temperatures. Ties were worn by a few guests like one who wore a full leather brown suit with a button down and a mini tie. Influencer Jeneé Naylor  wore a black satin tie with a white button down. Underneath she donned a black structured blazer paired with platform vinyl boots, and a pair of feathered socks to accessorize. Others played into the “mob wife” aesthetic in fur coats like an attendee in a full lavender outfit with a fuzzy coat and a sheer floral top underneath. One guest wore a chocolate brown fur coat over a black plissé set. 

Many guests played with monochromatic looks like an attendee in an all white suit that played with proportions by layering a skirt over the pants. Stylist and fashion editor Gabrielle Karefa-Johnson added a pop of yellow to her look. Her fringed yellow top over a pair of black pants and sheer tights paired with a leather black jacket is one of the top looks we spotted. Senior fashion editor Tchesmeni Leonard experimented with texture in a black leather tie coat with white sleeves peeking out over black pants. Stylist Jessica Willis put together a nearly all-black look. Her statement-making pieces consisted of a top and skirt with a pair of brown knee high boots.
