Wearable, anti-viral fashion was one of the most talked-about trends from the F/W 23 runway shows at fashion month. In short, a return to closet staples that are intended to be worn day to day, instead of the logo-heavy pieces and flashy designs that were prevalent in past seasons. Some of these wearable pieces included polished suiting and sleek separates, while another part included back to the basic staples such as leggings, hoodies, tank tops, and T-shirts—all styled in directional ways that make them look elevated and cool.

Miu Miu proved that the right layering can make legging and cardigan looks feel intentional, Bottega Veneta and Ferragamo ushered in fresh ways to style a simple tank top, and Gucci debuted the easy denim look that is primed to be in every fashion person's arsenal.
