It’s almost that time of year again. Yep, we’re on the heels of New York Fashion Week, and I, for one, have already been planning my looks for weeks on end. As an NYC-based fashion editor, this is my Super Bowl, so to speak, so naturally I’ve been curating my mood board and collecting outfit inspiration like it’s my job. (Well, it sort of is!) While attending shows and presentations is at its core, the week is also a great opportunity to dial things up in the outfit department to test-drive the latest trends and hopefully get snapped by a street style photographer or two.
This season, I plan on doing exactly that. I like to take outfit formulas I already wear regularly, e.g., skirts and sweaters or trousers and blazers, and make them feel more forward and dramatic for the week so I’m making a statement but still feel like me. I’ve pored over the spring 2024 collections for months to inform all the trend reports you’re reading on Who What Wear, but I’ve also been silently socking away my personal favorites into a folder titled “fashion week looks to re-create.” I don’t usually divulge the contents of said folder, but in the spirit of sharing, I thought I’d clue you in on the New York Fashion Week outfit ideas I plan on emulating to attend the fall 2024 shows and the items I’m shopping to do so.
