Get into a style state of mind with these easy styling tips straight off the sidelines of fashon month!
Immy & Suki Waterhouse
Do: Mix up feminine and masculine pieces! Pair a flowing dress with a structured motto jacket, a tailored pantsuit with a lingerie-inspired top or a slip dress with an oversized hoodie. The possibilities are endless!
Jenna Lyons & Solange
Don't: Layer every single statement piece you own as Solange is doing here. It's sure to turn heads, but for all the wrong reasons. Keep your look balanced!
Alexa Chung
Do: Stay comfortable! Never compromise comfort for style because being comfortable is the key to confidence. This season, expect to see a ton of sussed up athleisure, oversized boiler suits and remixed denim.

Off-Duty Model Style
No one rocks a better street style game than an off-duty model. Although models are known for their turns on the catwalk, it's their style off the runway that we all envy. They may all make it look so easy, but even looking "effortless" takes a bit of clever thinking. This look is all about utility and keeping things modern, clean and confident. See which wardrobe staples are guaranteed to give you that off-duty vibe (you should probably start with Romee Strijd's Sunday Somewhere Sunglasses)!
Binx Walton
Do: Leather is the epitome of downtown cool and every off-duty model's best friend. There are a million ways to wear it from motto jackets, to leather pants, vests and even bermuda shorts for the more daring. Throw on your favorite piece and deck yourself out in all-black for a flattering look that'll take you from day to night, downtown to Brooklyn.
Anahita Moussavian
Don't: Roll out of bed! Effortless style doesn't necessarily mean sloppy. The look should be relaxed and casual but not disheveled.
Gigi Hadid
Do: Get mad for plaid! Layer vintage tees over worn-in denim and throw an oversized sweater or bomber on top of it for a look that's instantly chic (and comfortable). It's the perfect combination of utility and style. Swap booties for a pair of chunky heels to take the look uptown.

Street Style
While fashion week is about the designer looks walking down the runway, we all know the real fashion show is outside. There's an entire galaxy of editors, bloggers, photographers and buyers all scrambling to share the sidewalks. As editors, fashion week is our time to wear our boldest and brightest, but it also means that we'll be sprinting between shows and appointments. It's the ultimate lesson in how to dress when you're running for cabs, spilling coffees, tripping over cobblestones and trying to cover pit stains in case a photog recognizes you through your sunglasses. Learn how to stand out in a crowd even on your busiest days with these easy styling tips!
Zanna Roberts Rassi
Do: Try high-low styling! Pair a designer skirt with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, or a designer dress with scuffed up sneakers instead of heels. High-low styling is a favorite trick among fashion editors and it's so easy to pull off!
Cleo Davis
Don't: Treat this week like it's Halloween. Keep your look tasteful and balanced, don't turn it into a costume.
Giovanna Battaglia
Do: Make a color statement! Break out all the bold colors you've been afraid to wear all-year-long—now is the time! Color really does turn heads when you're on the street.
