Fashion industry insiders put on an amazing show as they hit the streets as well, and this past week New York City did not disappoint. So if some of the catwalk trends have left you a little bewildered and confused with their crazy factor (you will love them in six months!), you can look just outside the tents to see fashion in real life action. Here are some of the best street style shots from around the web! More photos behind the jump, click link below.

Street Style: At the MET

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is portrayed in the media as a place where fashionable teens hang out. Shows like Gossip Girl depict posh girls eating lunches on the stairway of the MET's main entrance.

I decided to take a look for myself for some fashionable finds. These two girls were just leaving when I spotted them in front of the MET. I liked their casual girly looks. The one on the left is in a lovely floral tank she got at Zara and some light wash vintage shorts that add to the summery mood. Her bright yellow shoes also helped to make her look playful. The girl on the right has a rocker girly vibe. With a lace tank from LF and a little charcoal jeans skirt that she got at a consignment store. I love how she wore purple Converse that made her style urban cool. Next time your at the MET see what fashionable girls you can find!

Street Style: Maxi Dressing

One of my favorite trends of the moment is the maxi. This is a trend that looks good on all body types and can be worn Summer or Fall. I love the way it lengthens the body. Seeing someone in a maxi style adds a wonderful contrast to all of the mini skirts and short shorts prancing around the city.

This stylish women knows how to accessorize to make this maxi dress her own. Her dress is NightCap, I love the pleating, it adds texture and weightlessness and her wonderful statement belt is from Theory. My favorite accessory she is wearing is her sunglasses which are Philip Lim and add to her cool factor.

 So be sure to grab a maxi and take cues from this street fashionista and remember to accessorize.

Street Style: The Leather Skirt

When looking at street style I love to create a mental list of key pieces I see that are the must haves of the season. Seeing the way trendy New Yorkers style these items gives me inspiration for my current wardrobe and I hope it does the same for you.

This fall's "It" item was spotted just around the corner from the Alexander Wang sample sale this weekend. The leather skirt is an essential item for any fashion follower. This trendy New Yorker had on a leather skirt from Top Shop. It was paired with a basic oversize gray shirt from LF that she resourcefully tied on the side adding some drapery and style to the outfit. The amazing thing about this skirt other than the zipper detail is that it's the perfect piece for transitioning into colder weather. When it starts to get chilly this brunette can throw on tights, boots, and a sweater and have an amazing outfit. I also like that this outfit can turn dressy if paired with heels and some jewels. So make your own mental note to buy a leather skirt and see how many different ways you can style it.
