INSPIRATION AND ADVICE
SPOTTED AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK
By Spencer Cain, February 14, 2024
1. ENTER LAYER-PLAYER MODE
Given the tricky temps, NYFW is allll about layering this year. The 'less is more' mentality? Tired. Piling on pieces that check off your fave trends in one fell swoop? So wired. This cardie-over-slip-dress-over-turtleneck situation is taking the eclectic-grandpa aesthetic to the next level, and we're very here for it. Bonus points for embracing the leopard-print revival 🐆

2. PREPARE TO SHAPESHIFT
Fact: playing with proportions makes for a 🔥 'fit, in any circumstance. This particular mash-up of wide-leg denim, an oversized leather jacket, a shoulder-wrapped sweatshirt and the dreamiest dainty accessories (that BAG, those studded ballet flats 😱) is a masterclass in luxury that's not so quiet ✔️

3. THINK PINK, BUT NOT LIKE THAT
We'll always have a soft spot for Barbiecore, but as Q2 approaches, neutral hues are living rent-free on our mood boards. The solution? Keep it pretty in pink, but embracing a salmon shade for a slightly more grown-up take on 2023's biggest fashion obsession 🎀 Oh, and peep the pop of leopard again...

4. PUT WEST TO THE TEST
Does western steeze ever fall off the map? We don't think so, but Queen Bey's surprise country album announcement solidified its reign this the year 🤠 Think boss boots and a hat, as seen on this show-goer who fully committed to the bit 🐎

5. DON'T LET SNOW STOP YOUR FLOW
By now, we've all accepted that Punxsutawney Phil 🦫 was a lil off and the winter weather is here to stay... But there's no need to be salty. Just take your OOTD to The Matrix by way of XXL shades, fuzzy faux fur and the drippiest snow boots possible. Ice ice, bby 💎
