Street Style: The High-Fashion Student
In this week’s edition of OUT On The Street, I spotted a stylish student named Sichao on the NYU campus. Dressed in luxury garbs, Sichao pulls off a Jil Sander overcoat with Church’s lace-ups, and a WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie tweed backpack that is on my wish list. See the full look on Out.com, and check out more street style on Vee Travels.

Outfit: A Classic New York Date Night Look
I love the pre-winter season in New York when the city starts to get brighter each night with holiday and winter lights being put up, it’s perfect for a date night stroll. Vee Travels blog model Eric poses as my faux boyfriend for a walk around the classic Rockefeller Center (yes I know touristy, but like Icona Pop’s hit from last year, “I don’t care, I love it!”).
Sticking to bold basic colors is always a good way to go if you aren’t sure what color to wear on a first yet (and blues are good all year round), but make a little statement with your style by adding some a color blocking such as this Express wool peacoat that I styled with an Armani Exchange henley sweater and Zara ankle boots and trousers.

Trending: Camo & Polka Dot Patterned Pieces To Get Now
Butch camouflage and whimsical polka-dot patterns are both big for this fall season (separate of course), popping up on shirts, shoes, sweaters, accessories and more. Camo has been on the style board for some time, ever since designers began tweaking the military pattern with Day-Glo colors. Polka dots have been a style staple at least since the 1960s, but this year the pattern is really making the rounds, from couture to street fashion.
Contributing style for NewNowNext.com, I’ve selected pieces to get this season. See a couple selections for each below:
Camouflage
Volcom’s Sub Zero Boots
Volcom’s new footwear line is on point with these comfortable survival boots offering just a hint of camo. Rock it in the city or in the wilderness. ($160, Volcom)
Joe Fresh Camo Sweater
A solid crew neck sweater is a fall essential, but for a cooler look this Joe Fresh heather-gray sweater sports blue camoflage arms. ($29, Joe Fresh SoHo)

Street Style: The Statement Coat By Bradley Mounce
In this week’s edition of OUT On The Street, I searched the Flatiron district for some winter style and stumbled upon the fiercest coat on emerging designer Bradley Mounce rocking a rather androgynous coat from his sportswear brand, K’toi. The designer styles them with a pair of Prada two-toned boots, black Levi’s, and a vintage newspaper boy hat. See the full look on Out.com, and check out more street style on Vee Travels.

Continuing to put out wonderful denim collections, Simon Miller’s Jake Sargent and Dan Corrigan have taken inspiration from the American Southwest for their upcoming spring and summer collection.

Outfit: The Business Casual Autumn Traveler Featuring @FrankAndOak
The best thing about business casual attire is the versatility it offers travelers. The look can be worn in transit and at your hosting office—which is perfect if you have a meeting right away when you land.
Wonderful for styling a business casual look, the Montreal-based e-commerce Frank & Oak offers an array of individual pieces that are perfect for fall (and any season really), and they design a new collection each month.
Shooting in the perfect foliage setting of New York’s Central Park, Vee Travels’ newest model, James, sports Frank & Oak’s slim fitting Huntsman’s Wool Blazer in the oak. Paired with a wine purple-colored button down, I topped off the two with a slim flannel plaid tie with the fall color scheme of navy, forest and honey.

Get The Look: Autumn Leather In Central Park & MR PORTER ‘s Global Style Campaign
While a leather jacket can look good almost anytime of the year, brown leather shines like no other when surrounded by November’s colorful foliage in New York’s Central Park. I styled my favorite vintage leather jacket with other shades of brown. A classic pair of tan J.Crew cotton-twill chinos contrast the dark brown jacket in a smart manner, and fall styling calls for a pair of rugged boots. This simple pair from Grenson adds a stylish body to the classic derby boot with a scotch grain leather.
To break the brown hues, and standout one it’s own, a rich burgundy crew neck sweater is a wardrobe essential (as the color can look good year-round), and to top off the look on a sunny day, can’t go wrong with Ray-Ban aviators.
Get The Look:
Jacket: Vintage (similar from Belstaff)
Sweater: Banana Republic Blended Sweater (similar from J.Crew)
Pants: J.Crew Cotton-Twill Chinos
Footwear: Grenson Hadley derby boot
Sunglasses: Ray-Ban Aviators (similar from Ray-Ban)
