The 50 Best Street Style Looks of 2014

This past year proved that fashion slows down for nothing — not even a polar vortex. Through the rain, wind, and snow, our favorite trendsetters braved the elements to keep the fashion mill running — and they looked undeniably chic while doing so.

From New York to Paris to Sydney, the chic set showed off some prominent trends that graced the streets in 2014, as well as some that we'll see in the next year. The past year saw doses of luxe fur, sporty touches, fringes on everything, mixing high-fashion pieces with simple white sneakers, fashion's ongoing affair with prints, and minimalism in the form of crisp black and white and flowy neutrals. Yes, it was a wild ride, but would you expect anything less from the sartorial canon?
