Shop the New York Fashion Week Starter Kit |Best Knockoff Luxury Clothing

last updated 14 August 2019

Welcome to the Starter Pack series, aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing column that dives deep into the seasonal trends everyone’s talking about. Let’s move on to one of the biggest events of the year (in our eyes, at least)…

New York Fashion Week is somehow here again. As an editor attending, I am still struggling with what to wear for the Super Bowl of fashion, so I decided to break down the trends I know will be home runs come the big event. While the trends ahead are merely scratching the surface of all the forward-thinking styling tricks, up-and-coming designers, and breakthrough It pieces, they are ones that have already been spotted on New York fashion girls and international fashion weeks combined.

Below, I present to you the ultimate NYFW starter kit. Animal prints, crafty handbags, and everything in between can be found shopped out for you here, whether you plan on sitting front row or are looking forward to following along on social media. Purchase some of the trends ahead and you’ll be strutting along with some of the stylish women in NY in no time.

We've said it once, and we'll say it again: Animal print is the trend to be seen in this fall but, more imminently, this fashion week. Whether it be flaunted via accessories or outerwear, animal print will be on every other editor you pass by on the street this week.

Shop the trend:

Ganni

Blakely Silk Wrap Blouse

Proenza Schouler

Grommet Block Heel Pumps

Pamplemousse

Mimosa in Cheetah

An odd trend? Yes. A practical one? Also yes. While jetting from show to show, editors have taken a liking to the comfort of gym shorts. Paired them with everything from blazers to heels, this athleisure trend is one we definitely didn't see coming but are definitely here for.

Shop the trend:

Prada

Appliquéd Shell Shorts

Outdoor Voices

Rec Short

Patagonia

Barely Baggies Shorts

The footwear trend you're about to see everywhere from New York to Milan is cowboy boots. If the traditional kind isn't necessarily your thing, fear not, for designers have been churning out more-modernized styles that we are equally obsessed with.

Shop the trend:

Ganni

Marlyn Boots

Zara

Leather Animal Print Ankle Boots

Alberta Ferretti

Two Tone Cowboy Boots

Dresses your mom used to wear in the '80s, nightgowns—you name it—dresses this season are bigger, they're better, and they're inspired by our elders.

Shop the trend:

Rejina Pyo

Greta Bow-Embellished Cotton Midi Dress

Sleeper

Brigitte Flower Print Maxi Dress

Who What Wear

Puff Sleeve Midi Dress

Also available in more sizes.

Artsy doesn't even begin to cut it when it comes to this bag trend. Between the multicolored beads, intricate weaving, and vintage-sources fabrics, carryalls have officially reached peak status.

Shop the trend:

Susan Alexandra

Ash Bag

Chippy

Lucky Charm

Truss

Embellished Bag

Fashion girls love an impractical trend or two, and this one takes the cake for summer 2018. When the temperatures are sweltering but you have that itch to throw on one more layer, sling a cardigan or a sweater over your shoulders or crossbody for that third piece your outfit desperately needs.

Shop the trend:

Miu Miu

Embellished Ribbed Cashmere Cardigan

ASOS Curve

Oversize Cardigan in Chunky Rib With Buttons

H&M

Fine-Knit Cardigan

We thought we might see the demise of bike shorts, but after Copenhagen and Stockholm fashion weeks proved otherwise, we are 100% certain NY editors will be rocking the cycling-inspired style all week long.

Shop the trend:

Topshop

Glitter Cycling Shorts

Maryam Nassir Zadeh

Stride Sport Shorts

Pretty Little Thing

Plus Black Second Skin Cycling Shorts
