For the past year and a half of residing in New York City’s East Village, I’ve come to love a lot about my neighborhood.

Between my neighborhood and the proximity to the Lower East Side and Soho, there is never a shortage of style inspiration. So, for research purposes, I recently planted myself at my favorite coffee shop, ordered a cup of tea, and stared out the window at the fashionable people passing by. Apologies if you caught me staring at you, by the way. Anyways, after taking my observations back to the lab (my apartment), I narrowed down which trends my neighbors are wearing the most right now. Scroll on for my findings, plus my top picks for shopping the trends yourself. Not even an inch of snow has touched the ground in NYC yet, but the snow boots have been broken out, and I respect it. From my observations, puffer boots are the must-have winter shoe trend. This trend started to gain traction last winter, but the warm and functional boot looks like it’s here to stay going into 2023.

To no one’s surprise, Daniel Lee’s iconic The Pouch bag strikes again. The second it was released, it basically sold out. Notre Dame Fighting Irish Team Back 2 Back NCAA Men’s Lacrosse National Champions 2024 T shirt This cloud-like clutch quickly caught the attention of every influencer, celebrity, and fashion girl in existence. Even the savviest shoppers are still having difficulties nailing this designer bag down due to all the hype it’s generated. The unsurprising thing about The Pouch is that its owners love showing it off, and who wouldn’t? Whether it be on Instagram or in reality, this bag has claimed its rightful spot center stage in the industry, and all of your votes have formally confirmed that as we leave 2019, the roar of this bag will continue to sound. If anyone knows how to identify the It items of the moment, it’s Acielle, street style photographer of Style du Monde. “I think I saw more Bottega Veneta bags during fashion month than any other brand,” she says, and as someone who travels to shoot the most iconic street style scenes in the world, this woman really knows what she’s talking about. Our readers also agreed full-heartedly with Acielle, and one said that “this bag was seen all over—on the streets, on the runway, and on celebrities. It’s unique and should be able to carry all your essentials.” They’re right—for a clutch, The Pouch holds quite a lot and, as seen on the streets, makes any outfit look that much more notable. If you’re looking for a designer bag to gift yourself with this season, The Pouch gets all of our votes.
