New York City is often called the fashion capital of the world, but its residents can have very different ideas about what is chic.

The fashion e-commerce site Lyst - which offers a curated shopping experience of top brands - has first-hand access to what these Big Apple fashionistas are lusting after. Recently, the site analyzed the behavior of its users, monitoring what they searched for, clicked on, shared on social media, and actually bought to figure out the biggest trends.

They've helpfully broken down the most coveted styles by neighborhood, nailing the hottest pieces in various parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn and displaying them in a fun infographic

Get your shine on: In the downtown Soho neighborhood, waxed and high-shine fabrics - like these coated Belstaff jeans - are very popular

First up is Soho, a downtown neighborhood home to plenty of pricey real estate and residents with money to burn. Soho is also known for its trendy shopping district full of designer shops and fast fashion stores, which happened to be the location of the country's first Topshop.

According to Lyst's data, the cutting-edge women who live here are big on waxed and high-shine fabrics this season, favoring items like coated denim and faux leather.

Moving north, the West Village is still a pricey neighborhood but feels more laid-back with its narrow, tree-lined streets. The area has a lot of boutiques and popular restaurants, as well as some spillover of students from nearby NYU.

Here, the most popular trend of the moment is black or grey vests. The practical style is a smart pick for transitioning to the cooler weather.

Staying warm: West Village shoppers have been favoring gray and black vests this season

Fur real (but fake): In the Meatpacking District, faux fur in neutrals or unexpected hues are very of-the-moment

Who wears short shorts? Lyst users in Chelsea (pictured is the Highline, an elevated park that used to be railroad tracks) do, as the site found tailored shorts are a current must in the neighborhood

The Meatpacking District, which is also located on Manhattan's west side, is a hyper-trendy 'hood packed with designer shops. For a clue on what the area is like, non-New Yorkers can just look to Sex & the City: This is where Samantha Jones lived for most of the hit HBO series.

Residents in MePa are digging faux-fur this season, snapping up the cozy trend more than any other last week. Lyst offers both neutral hues and not-found in nature colors like blue and green, meaning women are wearing quite a variety of fake fur while they walk down the neighborhood's historic cobblestone streets.

North of there in Chelsea, where women are mostly shopping for tailored shorts. This trend is particularly brave given that temps in the Big Apple are currently hovering in the 50s - unless, of course, these women are planning to team their revealing bottoms with tights and leggings.

Midtown flashback: Shoppers in Midtown - the center of the city, which includes Times Square (left) - are looking for acid wash denim (right)

Towering: Though Nicky Hilton (pictured) lives in Noho, she's clearly a fan of the Upper East Side's favorite trend: super-high heels

Haute hipster: Girls star Zosia Mamet (pictured) recently moved from Bushwick to Manhattan's Upper West Side, but she's got Brooklyn in her bones. The star rocks Williamsburg's favorite trend, plaid

In Midtown - home to Times Square, Broadway, and more moderately-priced digs (by Manhattan standards, at least) - fashionistas are totally feeling the ‘80s. Lyst’s data found that acid-wash denim is the biggest trend in the center of the city.

But style gets a bit more refined on the Upper East Side, where the most popular item is heels, towering four inches or higher.

Skyscraper shoes might seem a bit ambitious for inhabitants of a pedestrian city, but this uptown neighborhood includes some of the most expensive apartments on the island - so it’s safe to say that many of these sky-high-heel-wearers are springing for a cab.

All the way uptown, Harlem shoppers - some of the most diverse in the city that never sleeps - are all about backless and low-back tops this season.

Keeping it interesting: Brooklyn residents - including those living in Bushwick (pictured) are funkier than their Manhattan counterparts

Kickin' it: Bushwick's most in-demand trend right now is rubber-soled sneakers, like this one by Vans

Rawr! In Dumbo, shoppers have their eye on leopard, like on this Moncler sweatshirt

Over the East River in Brooklyn, things get a bit more funky. It likely doesn't come as a surprise that Williamsburg - the ultimate hipster destination - favors plaid, and is stocking up on it so far this November.

Some would argue that Bushwick, which sits just east of Williamsburg, is even more hipster-heavy than its better-known neighbor. There, rubber-soled sneakers are the item of the moment - though shoppers could very well be paring them with plaid shirts, too.

Finally, the infographic shows the biggest trend in Dumbo - an up-and-coming neighborhood named not after the Disney elephant but the acronym Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. The tiny 'hood scooped up lots of leopard this week, which is sure to look right at home in the concrete jungle.
