Layers of Gray, Nautica
Though in my last post I complained about the sea of gray at NY Fashion Week, I’m now going to do a 180 and post this photo of a guy in gray. Why? Because saying one thing and turning around and doing the opposite is so fashion, darling!
But really: one advantage of a neutral palette is that it brings the focus to texture and material, like this chunky knit sweater under a herringbone wool coat and a plaid hat. The unzipped patent leather boots keep it from getting too conservative.

Striped Scarf, Jason Wu
Love this splash of color and tortoise shell sunglasses in a sea of black and gray. Also, the more shows you have to attend in a single day, the smarter it is to wear jeans!

Casablanca Look, Rachel Comey
The wide-brimmed hat, dark lipstick, vintage bag and a flared wool trench are so Ingrid Bergman in “Casablanca.” Bringing a little 1940s mystery to modern-day fashion.

Fur Hat and Fisherman’s Sweater, Rachel Comey
I love the mix in this outfit, and it’s something we’re seeing more and more. A fancy fur hat gets dressed down with a swingy wool coat and fisherman’s sweater, but then the bright silk scarf elevates the whole look again. Also: more lace-up boots, red lipstick.

Joanna Hillman at Rachel Comey
The ever-fashionable Joanna Hillman of Harper’s Bazaar arrived at yesterday’s Rachel Comey show. Note the new, longer skirt length! And the green coat with an oversize fur collar is a winner. Also note the difference in shoes: many fashion editors are eschewing last year’s teetering stiletto platforms for more practical lace-up boots and a chunkier heel.

Two Party Looks, Bubble & Cube
One of the most stressful things about fashion week can be deciding what to wear – especially to the after parties. You know the quandary: dressed up, but not too much, making an effort, but not trying too hard. On the left, she wears an adorable Stevie Nicks-style hat and sexy but seasonally-appropriate black top with slit sleeves. A pop of color from hot pink lipstick is the finishing touch. On the right, this guy is on the forefront of a new trend: piled-on accessories for a male maximalist style.

Susie Lau, Bubble & Cube Party
Fashion blogger Susie Lau of Style Bubble hosted a party last night at the W Hotel Times Square showcasing her writing and the fashion photography of Shini Park of Park & Cube. Lau has always been an expert at layering, and last night wore a cardigan and openwork lace tunic over a tee and black pants for an individualistic, playful look.
