The skirt suit is top of my list this season, which definitely was a common theme on the runways. Tailoring, in general, always runs the risk of looking too serious, so I will balance it with trainers or color-pop ballet flats depending on the skirt length. Jil Sander's and Miu Miu's versions were my favorites, as they both really get the proportions right so the set doesn't feel strictly office bound."

"Since it'll still be wildly hot in NYC during fashion week in September, I'm planning on taking advantage of the current sheer-clothing trend as much as possible, starting with this dress by Aya Muse that I just bought on sale. My inspiration comes from both the '90s runways—which always featured a fair share of sheer dresses and skirts—and designer Jessie Andrews, who wore this dress on her Instagram and immediately made me want one of my own."

The Style Stalker"I'm planning to wear a chain belt during fashion week. I will either style the belt over a maxi skirt or some denim jeans. I'm taking inspiration from the '90s and things I used to love wearing when I was younger. I'm planning on wearing a golden Loewe chain belt, and in shoes, I'm excited to wear my Gucci GG slingback pumps to spice up my minimal looks."

Imaxtree"While there are many trends I'm excited about this season, I fell the hardest for the return of romantic dressing. Fall/winter 2022 collections were filled with pretty things, from Fendi's ruffled sheer slip dresses to Miu Miu's satin bralettes paired with matching ballet flats. Frankly, in my humble opinion, there's no other trend that's better to wear to fashion week than this one. Give me all the ruffles, satin, sequins, and feathers because I'm starving for beauty. I think I'd spice up the more delicate pieces by either pairing them with heavy-duty leather or other grunge-adjacent pieces to add a little edge. Think a feather dress paired with a moto jacket and platform boots."

Everyone from Bottega Veneta to Khaite and Stella McCartney sent lilac looks down the runway, and we all immediately had to reconsider if the color warrants a place in our wardrobes for fall and beyond. I love how the color feels easy and fresh while it's still warm out (looking at you, NYFW) and takes on an icy, edgier vibe for winter. (Follow Khaite's lead and contrast with inky black sequins or patent leather.) Designers have demonstrated its versatility, offering a broad range of shades for every skin tone—plus numerous ways to incorporate it into a look."

I've been so excited for the weather to cool down so I can put on my take on the oversize leather jacket I saw all over the runways last season. A look I know I'll be wearing involves the aforementioned jacket, a white tank, and a micro miniskirt. In my dream world, I'd top that off with the Balenciaga Cagole mules to make sure this is a head-to-toe ensemble."
