New York Fashion Week just wrapped up a series of shows and presentations. But tell me: have you ever seen runway photos and thought, “I’d love to wear that!” Right, me neither, friend.
Runway looks tend to be more exaggerated versions of what really shows up in mainstream fashion. So what are the trends from fashion week you can actually wear? Let’s get into it!
1. Red
It’s time to embrace this power color because it is everywhere! No shade is off limits, but the brighter ones are really trending! Start small by adding a pop of red with accessories. Or go really bold with a red dress or red separates!
Dress | Sweater | Heels | Bag | Pants
2. Plaid EVERYTHING
Plaid isn’t just for tops anymore. Get ready to add plaid tops, pants, hats, and shoes to your wardrobe. And if you want to really be on-trend, grab a plaid blazer.
Blazer | Scarf | Clutch | Shoes | Dress
3. Bold Floral Prints
Dainty floral prints be gone! It’s all about big, bold prints. Wear them for Fall in darker, muted colors! Remember: the bolder the better!
Dress | Jacket | Heels | Bag | Jumpsuit
4. Wide Belts
Ditch the skinny belt, ladies. It’s all about the statement belt. From wrap styles to corset details, these belts will accentuate your figure in the best way. Wear them over tops, dresses, jackets, anything.
Studded | Black Wrap | Corset | Suede | Brown Tie
5. Western-inspired Details
Bring on the denim, metal details, floral print accents, and suede. If you’re worried about getting too costume-y just stick to one piece per outfit!
Dress | Top | Hat | Booties | Boots
Which is your favorite Fashion Week trend?
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
I love these! I’ve always been a big fan of fashion week, but I usually come away from it thinking, “That was cool, but who would ever actually wear it?”
Jeanette says
Those boots! I want those boots! They would look so good with the pants that I just bought. I am going to add that to my Christmas list.
Stephanie Parrell says
So many awesome looks here! I especially love the red dress and the leather jacket.
Joely Smith says
I love these items! And yes, we CAN actually wear them lol. I am glad embroidery is making a come back. I would wear all of these styles!
Marysa says
These are actually wearable styles! I think I like the red collection is my favorite. Some of those pieces are bold statements, but that’s what fashion week is all about.
Jocelyn @ Hip Mama's Place says
I am loving the reds and the plaid, they’re perfect for the season and they’re definitely something that I would wear. I think it’s awesome that you shared these outfit ideas! Sometimes, it’s tough to keep up with the trend.
Ruth I. says
I am into number 2, plaid everything. I like to pair plaid bottoms tucked in with an oversized shirt. Let us stay awake and wait for more trends.
Victoria Heckstall says
I really love these outfit. Especially the red and the bold floral print. Looks so simple yet elegant yet.
Melissa Dixon says
These are all great ideas for outfits people would actually wear. I love the stuff you see on the runway but it just isn’t something I could ever see myself wear.
Kathy says
I think these are all great. I actually like that I love most of them too. I really like that black jacket with the flowers on the back.
Amanda says
I tend to feel like fashion weeks are too vogue for me, but you did a great job breaking down the ideas into things that real moms like me would wear. Love all the red!
Danielle Smith says
I know JUST how you feel – I always feel as though the trends are well beyond my taste – but I definitely love all the red this year.
Mimi Green says
Last year I fell in love with plaid. I’m still into it this season. I’ve been looking for new plaid button ups.
Aduke Schulist says
I’m not really big on florals, but I am digging some of these designs. Those dresses like that mustard one are so popular right now.
Danielle Smith says
It sounds like you and I have similar taste in clothihng 🙂

I love plaid and floral prints! Have to add some red pieces to my wardrobe too. Western-inspired details look cool too!

Plaid for me! I have always loved plaid. And that plaid scarf is calling my name. So Pretty!
