Street Style Notes: How the City Is Dressing This Autumn

Brown has replaced black as the city's quiet uniform. Chocolate coats, tan trousers and caramel knits were everywhere.
The details that stood out
Shoes have come right down to earth. Loafers, ballet flats and chunky trainers outnumbered heels by a wide margin.
“The street always gets there first. The runway just writes it down.”
Bags have grown again: big, soft and slouchy, carried in the crook of the arm rather than on the shoulder.
