Street style photography is the best representation of when the catwalk hits the sidewalks – that is, when high fashion is paired with classic sensibilities. Thanks to blogs like the Sartorialist, Tommy Ton, and of course, the godfather of street style, Bill Cunningham, you know that you’re in the fashion “it” crowd when you’ve been snapped on the street. Fashion week is when the best-dressed come out to play, so here’s a little high-low fun from the opening shows in New York to the closing shows in Paris.
New York Fashion week calls for chic, sporty jumpsuits, tomboy-ish sweaters and cropped printed trousers. Studded smoking slippers, heeled ankle boots and statement shoulder bags complete the look.
Casual print mixing and bright colors are tempered by navy and olive tones at NYFW.
Recipe for louche British cool at London Fashion Week: lots of leather, classic shapes and tailoring, rich fabrics like tweed, and unexpected punches of toughness like these studded heels.
Lemon pleats and a matching satchel are strengthened with a textured jacket in charcoal ombré; a floppy hat completes this chic look at Milan Fashion Week.
An impeccable suit, on pointe accessories and pattern mixing make this look perfect for Milan Fashion Week.

All black keeps a supremely chic outfit grounded, while kicky accessories in the same hues add subtle character.
