Driely S. continues to document her street style impressions for Day five of NYFW.

This installment of the series may be the most outrageous yet: we see knee-high velvet boots, embellished backpacks, [furry sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-boot) and [aggressively patriotic fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2) (best evidenced by a sparkly, rainbow-hued, pearl-encrusted USA sweater). One adventurous young woman wears a row of metal hoops across both of her eyebrows -- because "no pain, no gain" is the motto in the fashion industry.

These brave souls are clearly using New York Fashion Week as a platform to [experiment with their look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir). If there was a time to be excessive, extravagant and generally over-the-top with your personal style, now would be it! If anything, these style pioneers will serve as excellent inspiration for the rest of us.
