Unless you’re living under a rock, you know that we here at Who What Wear can’t resist a runway-inspired outfit. It’s practically in our nature to dish over the best styling moments, accessories, and stand-alone garments we salivate over as soon as runway images hit our work Slack channel. While there are several trends we’ve written about at length when it comes to fall/winter 2023 runway styles, there’s one key theme we can’t stop thinking about: wearability.
Whether it’s Miu Miu’s elevated hoodies or Gucci’s luxe-looking jeans-and-blazer ensemble, most runway looks for fall/winter 2023, frankly, are items that fit in your closet year-round. More than likely, you already have one or two lying around. While our latest obsession with the anti-trend movement feels like a natural extension of the quiet-luxury aesthetic that dominated this summer, the cost-per-wear value of almost all garments from the fall/winter 2023 shows feels like they’ll be well worth it. If you’re itching to add something to your closet without dropping a paycheck on a single hoodie, though, I’ve spent the last five hours combing through all of Nordstrom’s jaw-dropping new arrivals to find the best runway-inspired items to add to your wardrobe this fall.
Ahead, shop all the runway-approved anti-trend staples and basics that will make people do a double take when they hear they’re from Nordstrom. Miuccia Prada would be proud!
