If you're craving a dose of outfit inspiration, might I suggest a stroll through Williamsburg? Catching well-dressed locals dashing between vintage shops and Pilates studios, you're hard-pressed not to spot an outfit or two that lands straight on your mood board. That's exactly what happened to me when I caught sight of actor Zoë Kravitz strolling through the city in one of the chicest New York-in-September outfits I've come across this season.
Still enjoying balmy temperatures, Zoë opted for a sleek slip dress in an enduringly elegant shade of black, pairing it with two equally elevated accessories: a red bandana and glossy black flip-flops.
(Image credit: Backgrid)Keeping the rest of her styling equally unfussy, Zoë slung a sleek leather handbag over her arm and added a pair of black sunglasses, meanwhile, oversized earrings framed her face.
Retaining the innate ease that the chicest New Yorkers have long mastered, Zoë's simple three-piece styling formula is one I expect we'll continue to see throughout the season. As the weather cools, simply swap the sandals for knee-high boots and throw a trench coat over your shoulders. Until then, read on to shop the black slip dresses, bandanas and sandals you need to recreate Zoë's look below.
