Come with me for another “The Subway Audit” series!
Hey there, and welcome back to The Subway Audit! Today we will cover a casual Parisian look spotted on the Subway on the way to work. A young lady with a laid back style, yet super stylish and modern.
For the newbies here: Each week, I’ll pick out a standout look to break down. My goal? To dish out some inspiring outfit inspo straight from the streets of the city that never sleeps! I’ll be chatting about style, mixing fabrics, layering, and all those cool colour combos that catches my eye. The subway is like a treasure trove of fashion, and I can’t wait to share these style trends with you!
I’ll do my best to find the exact clothes and accessories featured, but sometimes it’s like playing detective, especially with branded stuff. Don’t worry though, I’ll find the closest matches online and throw in some budget-friendly options too. Let’s dive into our first look!

And here we are, almost in April, with the unpredictable weather of NYC giving New Yorkers one last opportunity to showcase their maxi wool coats. The young lady who served as inspiration for today’s Subway Audit was no exception. She effortlessly pulled together a trendy and casually chic outfit that evoked the effortless style of Parisians. Pairing baggy yet impeccably tailored jeans with classic Converse sneakers, she topped it off with an oversized black wool coat layered over a cozy turtle neck wool sweater. It’s a look that shows both comfort and sophistication. But this ensemble offers endless possibilities for styling up or down. From accessorising with statement jewellery to swapping out the jeans for a skirt or dress, there are countless ways to make this outfit your own while staying warm and stylish in the transitional weather of spring.

As we bid farewell to the chilly days of winter and welcome the budding warmth of spring, this transitional period offers a perfect opportunity to experiment with layering and mixing textures. I love that this look would also look great with other jeans styles, such as straight cut, boyfriend or skinny. Same thing with swapping the sneakers – you can upscale the outfit with heels for a casual chic night out or with a pair of black leather boots. This week’s look is giving effortless versatility.
Now let’s have fun with the different outfit alternatives we found for you! 😉
