Day 1 of Spring 2016 New York Fashion Week's most inspiring #TheNewRunway street style looks

We know that style inspiration can come from everywhere -- whether that's on the runway in New York or in small towns across America -- which is why this New York Fashion Week we're not only getting our inspiration from what models are wearing, but launching our new style inspiration destination, #TheNewRunway.

We're capturing the most inspiring street style looks from outside the biggest New York Fashion Week shows, as well as other spots around town in NYC. You can submit your style looks to be featured on @TheNewRunway and on AOL.com by using the hashtag #TheNewRunway!
