Fashion. Coffee. The two worlds collided at the 2016 New York Coffee Festivalย in Manhattan. Iย explored the grounds of the 69th Regiment Armory on the lookout for stylish festival-goers, and it didnโ€™t take long to spot cute coffee drinkers sporting everything from t-shirts to ties and jumpers to jumpsuits. After chatting with a diverse array of attendees, I was surprised and pleased to discover how diverse the crowd really was; roaming amongst the expected baristas, trainers, and account reps were a sea of curious coffee drinkers who had no reason at all to be at the event except for their appreciation for the drink. Truly this was a festival for the common man, but by no means were their outfits basic.

Here are ten of my very favorite looks from the floor of the 2016 New York Coffee Festival.
