From designer debuts to front-row celebrity sightings, there’s so much to take in during fashion month. But as usual, we’re particularly excited to see what all of the fashion insiders are wearing outside of the shows. This season, from New York City to Paris, the street style scene seemed to have a palpable appetite for closet staples instead of rapidly waxing and waning trends. There was a host of timeless designs (think straight-leg jeans and classic button-up shirts) that quietly commanded the attention of photographers.
Scroll through some of the photos captured by Phil Oh, and you’ll see a combination of fashion executives, celebrities, and influencers making a strong case for taking a less-is-more approach this year. For example, model Gigi Hadid, The Webster’s buying director Astrid Boutrot, and style influencer Alexandra Lapp were all spotted making a plain crew neck T-shirt look like the ultimate wardrobe must-have this fashion month.
Yes, the timeless white shirt has been a street style must-have for quite a few seasons now, but there’s another wardrobe staple growing just as rapidly in popularity: the maxi denim skirt. It’s one of those few items that are able to seamlessly float in between the gray area of a closet essential and an of-the-moment wardrobe hero. Find these and more street style essentials dominating fashion month below.
Ivory League Blazers
From silky cream to buff beige, bright blazers proved to be a must-have this season. In addition to the lighter hues, we noticed a slight shift from exaggerated silhouettes to more form-fitted, tailored finishes.
Maximum Impact Denim Skirts
Move over minis, ankle-grazing denim skirts have entered the chat. Whether paired with lightweight spring jackets or turtlenecks, these maxis are the modern-day essential to have.
Crisp Button-Up Shirt
Adding a timeless, back-to-business top to any outfit never fails. Here, Naomi Campbell paired her button-up shirt with coordinating pants and a longline coat, but it can also elevate a plain pair of jeans or even leggings.
Chocolate Trench Coat
Warm deep chocolate hues are rising in popularity. It doesn’t matter if it’s on a cotton gabardine trench coat or a luxurious leather design.
Surefire Straight-Leg Jeans
There’s been so much talk about baggy jeans, but the timeless straight-leg jeans are going to win every time, especially since they look great with just about every shoe.
The Picture-Perfect Tee
Never underestimate the power of a simple white T-shirt. Pair the staple underneath your favorite jacket for an easy way to whisper chic.
