Fashion month is right around the corner—as in, a matter of days—so soon there will be a plethora of street style outfits from New York, London, Milan, and Paris to obsess over. Our offices are buzzing about all the style inspiration to expect, particularly which It items will prove to dominate this season. Not to brag or anything, but we've gotten pretty good at predicting which trends will and won't be huge for fall, so now it's time for one more piece of insight.
