Pencil Skirts! Suede! Satin Jackets! Here’s Everything WWW Editors Are Wearing for Fashion Month

Fashion Month is, at its heart, a month-long exercise in anticipation. There are the collections, of course including the clothes that will dominate mood boards, red carpets, and wish lists in the seasons ahead. But there’s also the fashion happening on the streets. To find out the exact pieces and trends we can expect to see, I tapped Who What Wear’s fashion editors to find out what we’re actually packing for the upcoming season.

Rather than a single It look, the editor fashion month wardrobe is quite eclectic: royal purple makes a commanding appearance, pencil skirts bring a dose of sharp, old-school polish, and satin jackets add just the right amount of undone glamour. There are pieces that feel distinctly of-the-moment alongside wardrobe staples that have earned their permanent place in the rotation. The common thread? Every look strikes that elusive balance between editorial and effortless. They are clothes that photograph beautifully on the street but still make sense outside of the runway shows.

Ahead, take a look at what the WWW team will be wearing. From bold color and sleek silhouettes to glossy textures and clever layering, these are the pieces earning repeat wears, spontaneous compliments, and precious real estate in our editors’ closets.

For fashion month, I always feel my best when I reach for my wardrobe staples and style them in new ways. This season, I’ll be reaching for pieces like button-up shirts, denim, and tailored trousers and adding finishing the outfits with some key accessories, whether it’s a Polo Ralph Lauren belt, a leather bag, or a pair of diamond studs.

“In the past, I tried my hand at a lot of different aesthetic during a single fashion week, oscillating between opposing style diatribes with each passing day. This season, I’m pulling from some of the beloved pieces runway items already in my closet—my favorite croc-embossed midi skirt from Tory Burch FW24 and 3D floral flats from Prada FW23—and instead narrowing in on just one newer experimental trend: the cummerbund. It’s one that’s been calling my name all season, and the September shows feel like the right time to strike. I’m looking to reference the Celine menswear Spring 2027 collection that featured the tuxedo pieces dressed down for the everyday, and I just picked up this belt from Zara to test it out with.”

“This is my first New York Fashion Week not living in New York, and let’s just say, I didn’t appreciate it while it lasted nearly enough. Packing outfits ahead of time is very difficult, especially for a whim dresser like me. I usually have outfit ideas before the week starts, but they tend to change based on my mood, the weather, my energy levels, etc. All that said, I had to do a lot of extra planning for this season. My overall vibe is sort of mixed between bright colors (which I usually never wear, but was feeling inspired) and classic silhouettes with interesting fabrications that make them feel interesting instead of boring.
