I Just Spent a Weekend in NYC—This Is the Coat, Jeans, and Shoe Outfit I Noticed Everywhere, and the Trends Are All at Nordstrom
This fall 2026 French-girl outfit idea from the streets of NYC includes a long trench coat, loose jeans, and ballet pumps.

I recently spent a weekend in NYC, one of my favorite places to people-watch with fashion trends in mind. I spotted one outfit combination, in particular, on just about every street corner from Midtown to the Lower East Side that gives major French-girl vibes. The look features three of fall 2026's biggest trends: a long trench coat, loose jeans, and ballet pumps. Each trend just so happens to be available in chic abundance over at Nordstrom.
The combo is so easy and effortless that it's clear why it's a favorite among the city's fashion set. To pull it off, all you need to add is a top of your choice, from a cropped tee to a simple sweater. Ahead, you can check out visual outfit inspiration on how to style the look and shop my top Nordstrom picks for each piece. Here's to getting dressed in five minutes flat.
