3 Denim Outfits From Free People

Welcome to Word on the Street, a quarterly series in which one editor takes to the streets of New York City to snap her favorite fashion moments and shop them out just for you.

If you’ve ever set foot in New York City, you know it’s an amalgamation of eclectic personalities and interesting outfits to match. I never have to worry about being over or underdressed—there will always be someone wearing a more unique outfit. That’s what makes New York such an incredible fashion city. You can find inspiration everywhere, no matter your personal style. Last week, while out and about, I sought out early adopters of 2025 denim trends. Everywhere from Carroll Gardens to Lincoln Square, I spotted three key styles: overalls, barrel-leg jeans, and dark-wash jeans. I witnessed these pieces styled in various ways, but no one was doing it better than my fellow editor, Aniyah Morinia in her Free People denim. Inspired by the brand’s bold, experimental, and on-trend collections, Aniyah has made Free People a staple in her New York wardrobe. Keep reading to shop her three everyday looks, all featuring key denim trends for 2025.

New York street style is all about taking risks and expressing yourself. What about this outfit represents your personal style?
