Previously reserved for raincoats and dominatrix costumes, PVC has become the material of choice for fashion’s MVPs. From Marc Jacobs to Chanel, the spring/summer runways were covered in plastic, and it didn’t take long for the trend to hit the streets—and the feet of a few Kardashians— in just about every way, shape and form.
So, whether you want to start slow with a simple boot, or take it full on with an iconic trench coat, get ready for spring (and a chance of rain) with these eight inspired looks.
Wear the Pants
Vinyl is the new leather. Style your sleek PVC pants with casual basics and a clear tote for an updated everyday look.
Get Your Feet Wet
If you’re not ready to dive into this trend head first, dip your toes in the water with a clear cool bootie.
Color Theory
We love the effect this material has on deep and rich colors. Here, you can play with texture in a neutral palette.
Red Alert
Street style stars rocked this bold red color in full monochrome looks. We love a red PVC trench coat as an impactful statement for a more everyday approach.
New Kid
Swap your leather moto jacket for a shiny alternative that’s a new take on a wardrobe staple. Pair it with your on-trend combat boots for a rocker-chic look.
See It Through
Clear coats aren’t just for the rain. We love translucent outerwear over a cute, color blocked dress.
Plastic Bag
From coats to accessories, designers are wrapping their designs in a clear coated layer. You don’t have to style it any differently than you normally would; the PVC just adds a cool component to your look.
Top Coat
An “it” item of the season, this PVC coat is the perfect statement piece to pair with everyday basics.
Here’s another NYFW look we love: the colored fur trend you simply must have.
