Navy Toggle Cloak, Outside Louis Vuitton

If you can’t tear yourself away from dark winter colors just yet, at least try experimenting with navy, a lighter, springier neutral. Seen here: a hooded navy toggle cloak outside Louis Vuitton show. The look is a little bit collegiate, a little bit romantic, and all around flattering.

Mixed Prints, Outside Preen

Leaf Greener street style

These Prada stripes really have legs: Nautical stripes are already popping up in stores for yet another season. Bright graphic patterns like this mix on Leaf Greener of Elle China are a great way to usher in the spring. (And you can still stay warm in the process.)

Michelle Harper at Theyskens' Theory

I’ve been looking through some old photos before next week’s NY Fashion Week and came across this one of Michelle Harper (with Tommy Ton in the background). Love how her look is a cross between super modern and old Hollywood glamour.

Tweed Coat and Spectator Shoes, Outside Lanvin

An aristocratic look of a voluminous tweed cloak with spectator shoes and a bob haircut. Unusual but compelling.

Winter Layers, Outside Donna Karan

This model off duty wore a layered look of skirt, sweater, coat and matching bag exiting the Donna Karan show. Just leaving a coat unbuttoned can make an outfit more interesting on milder winter days.

Mary Alice Stephenson

Mary Alice Stephenson changed up a basic black coat with a leopard print jacket and geometric disc necklace. Lace up boots are sexy enough for fashion week, but sturdy enough for snow.

Shala Monroque at Valentino

One of the most stylish women at fashion week, Shala Monroque made a splash at Valentino with bright yellow peeking out from under a coat with a fur collar – a great way to usher in the spring.

Vanessa Friedman in a Red Cape, Outside Valentino

A pop of color is a great antidote to cold winter days. Financial Times editor Vanessa Friedman wore a bright red cape to the Valentino show.

Kasia Struss in a Tweed Coat

As tempting as it may be to envelop yourself in a sleeping bag-like coat every day this winter, cloth versions like Kasia Struss’ are a better choice whenever the weather permits. Here she leaves the Donna Karan show in a tweed coat with a rose in hand.

Brown Suit and Orange Tie, Madison Avenue

Here’s another great menswear look in honor of the men’s shows going on right now in Milan. Just as ladylike attire made a huge comeback this fall for women, bespoke suits and tailoring are essential looks in menswear now.

Photographer in a Southwestern Print, Outside Donna Karan

One of fashion week’s most stylish photographers mixes a red Southwestern print jacket with a black puffer coat, tweed scarf and studded biker boots, and it all works beautifully together.

Layered Look, Outside Ralph Lauren

January fashion – or lack thereof – has had me craving a look at some of last winter’s NY Fashion Week outfits. Many of these, like this preppy layered menswear look with a trapper hat, are still pretty inspiring.

Catherine Baba at Lanvin

On the opposite side of the style spectrum is stylist Catherine Baba, who really has a flair for drama. She wore a pale pink silk dress with Chinoiserie accessories: a tassel necklace and earrings and a straw hat for the hot weather. The jewelry looks like Eddie Borgo but the design is slightly different. Baba may be about fashion, but she’s not all about labels.
