[Mariah Carey voice] It’s time! NYFW is almost upon us. It’s hard to believe, especially since many of us are still feeling the lull of January’s calm, but fashion month kicks off in only a matter of days with the shows in Copenhagen beginning this Monday and continuing on all the way throughout early March. As for this editor who calls New York home, I’m gearing up for the shows by doing what I do best: outfit planning. I’ve been gathering inspiration from across the internet from the spring runways to my screenshot folder, and of course, have been shopping accordingly.
As anyone who attends fashion week knows all too well, crafting the perfect outfit is a balance between tapping into key trends of the season and experimenting with new styling ideas all while maintaining the comfort of your own personal style. It can be a tall order, which is why I always plan ahead and map out my outfits for the week. While my exact combinations are still coming together, I’m eyeing (and in some cases already buying) the below items to wear to and from the F/W 2025 shows in just a few week’s time. From opera gloves to scarf coats, see every standout fashion item I’m adding to my lineup.
Almada Label
Mara Doublé Coat
A great coat isn’t just one piece of the outfit puzzle—it is the outfit.
Arakii
Zebra Jaquard Skirt
I just discovered this brand from stylist Hannah Lewis and immediately added so many things to my cart, starting with this zebra-print pencil skirt.
EAVES
Mendoza Leather Jacket
This Phoebe Philo-esque leather jacket may very well be my next purchase.
Frances Valentine
Metallic Leather Opera Gloves
Gloves are a non-negotiable for any winter fashion week, but long opera gloves feel like anything but an afterthought.
I always do a substantial Zara order pre-fashion week and this fun styling piece is definitely going in that.
MANGO
Regular Cotton Lyocell-Blend Shirt – Women | Mango Usa
It’s a great time to stock up on the classics.
DÉHANCHE
Embellished Leather Belt
I’m into the idea of cinching this on top of a tailored coat for some added spice.
GIGI BURRIS
Tentley Embellished Wool-Felt Hat
Every insider will be wearing pillbox hats this fashion month, guaranteed.
Khaite
Cate Bag in Black Haircalf
The only designer bag I care about at the moment, in case anyone was wondering.
My coworker Eliza Huber wears tromps all around NYC in these, so I know they’re quality. Now that the burgundy pair is sub-$100, I’m buying them immediately.
