Virginia Smith in Classic Workwear
Amid all the fantastical outfits of Paris fashion week, it’s the classic work attire that provides the most useful inspiration. Virginia Smith wore an off-white silk button down and tailored trousers to the Lanvin show. The accessories – python print clutch and polished brown leather boots – are what makes it fashion.

Black Shearling Jacket, Prince Street
As much as we street style photographers lament the all-black look, it doesn’t have to be boring. A sleek silhouette, interesting textures and the white shirt make this look – which is Helmut Lang from head to toe – more interesting than your cookie-cutter all black outfit.

Michelle Harper at Viktor & Rolf
True confession: I’ve almost given up on buying anything other than shoes and coats for winter. For five months of the year, it’s nearly all anyone sees of one’s outfit in cold New York, so you might as well have a statement-making coat. Michelle Harper wore a bold mustard yellow trench with a huge, sculptural lapel and matching shoes to the Viktor & Rolf show in Paris. It’s a great example of how one piece of clothing can make an outsized impact.

Bryanboy at Chanel
Wouldn’t it be great if you could just design your own clothes when you can’t find exactly the right item in stores? That’s what fashion blogger Bryanboy has been doing, picking out fabric and patterns and having his clothes tailor made. The jacket and pants are his own design, the sweater is Sonia Rykiel.

Fall Look, Washington Square Park
Texture comes into play when it’s time to bundle up against cool weather. Love her mix of a nubbly knit hat and patterned scarf – a good way to make a cozy outfit look modern.

Snakeskin Pants at Costume National
There’s no need to wait until spring to start wearing snakeskin, even though this pattern was all over the runways for the new season. The digitized print is already popping up everywhere on dresses, jeans and pants, as on this well-dressed attendee at the Costume National show in Paris.

Susan Cernek at Céline
Glamour’s Susan Cernek was featured in WWWD today, which reminded me: I have this photo of her looking smashing outside the Céline show in Paris in flame-colored wool pants. If you’re going to buy any kind of colored cords or pants this season, take a gamble on orange. Also love how she pairs them with metallic green pumps. Detail shot after the jump. (more…)

Taylor Swift at Rodarte
Dear Lord – I forgot I took this photo! Taylor Swift arrived at the Rodarte show in an exquisite lace dress by the designers. This kind of beautiful craftsmanship looks even better close up – and very pretty on the country music star, especially with her matte red lipstick.

Jenny Kang at Prabal Gurung
Fashion week regular Jenny Kang really knows how to put together an outfit – and what she wears is also a good indicator of what’s going to be in style months from now. Look out for more colorblocking and electric blue come winter. And those Alexander Wang silver tassel loafers are already a classic.
