At this point, I’ve grown accustomed to the chaos and long days of NYFW, so I like to plan my outfits well ahead of time. When I was planning out this season’s looks for seven straight days, I predominately considered pieces that I’d feel most comfortable in — because when I left my BK home, I certainly wasn’t going back to do a not-so-quick change in the middle of my packed schedule.
Leaning on the Refinery29’s Winter 2026 Lookbook for some outfit inspiration, I decided that — with what I already had in my closet and what brands graciously leant to me for the week — I’d put my own twist on “The Demuralist” look (with hints of The Weather-Maxxer and The Holiday Host aesthetics) for Day 2 of NYFW.
In this reimagined Roaring Twenties look: “The all-black uniform gets a festive lift here with sequins and quietly elegant accessories.” While I’m not the most sparkly person, I took bits and pieces from this modern flapper aesthetic and styled a glam look that could take me from day to night, across the city, and confidently into five designers’ runway shows.
Ahead, see how I interpreted R29’s stylist-vetted Demuralist trend, the exact pieces I wore (including an on-trend hat moment), and outfit inspo to get you through the rest of the frigid winter in style.
