New York Fashion Week might be over, but we’re not about to let the Brits take over without showcasing a few more of our favorite looks. Delpozo sent vibrant architectural ensembles down the catwalk, while industry heavy-hitter Ralph Lauren stuck to his Americana-with-a-twist signature a la fringe-flecked skirts and suede jackets. Pair this with the arsenal of Insta-babe-approved looks parading down the Big Apple’s chicest streets and you’ve got yourself a pretty solid end to a week of fashion madness. Once again, we’ve curated five of our most-loved looks of the day that you can totally wear IRL, and the trend-right pieces you need to pull them off.

1. Express Piped Western Shirt ($60): With cool temps settling in, you need an after hours-approved blouse that will see you through dinner, drinks and dance floor shenanigans in style. This minimalist Western number is just what the doctor ordered with its piped detailing and sheer panels that will add an unexpected edge to embellished bottoms and shimmery midi skirts.
2. BCBGMAXAZRIA Cristal Mixed-Sequin & Lace Pencil Skirt ($120): Lustrous sequins lend this classic pencil skirt the ultimate GNO edge. Flirt it up with a sleek box clutch and classic block heels for just the right balance of scene-stealing and sophisticated style.
Luxe Layering
We’d rock this over-the-top Delpozo look on the daily if we could. The ornate outer layer — hello, bodacious bow detailing — lends otherwise average separates a punch of serious personality. (Photo via Fernanda Calfat/Getty)
3. MLM LABEL Gingham Essential Top ($150): The off-the-shoulder fun continues into fall with this gorgeous gingham blouse featuring frilly ruffle sleeves. Whether you rock it solo or layer it over a turtleneck or sheer blouse, you’re guaranteed to turn a few heads.
4. J.O.A. Multi Layer Mode Sheer Blouse ($68): Your new go-to layer this season is surprisingly light. A sheer high-neck blouse is the key to endless #OOTDs with an edge. Elongate the life of your favorite summer pieces by popping it under a shoulder-baring top or a strappy maxi dress for an unexpected office-ready look in seconds.
Vested Interest
A runway-ready look that only requires two pieces? We’re so down. This two-second ensemble spotted at Boss Women is proof that less is most definitely more with its fuss-free and Insta-worthy appeal. (Photo via Slaven Vlasic/Getty)
5. Zara Waist Coat With Knot ($100): When in doubt, put a vest on it. Instant polish comes in the form of this effortless tie-waist piece that’s perfect for mornings when you’re short on time and sartorial inspiration. Add a pair of block-heeled boots to the mix and you’re well on your way to impeccable on- or off-duty style.
6. Native Youth Midi Tunic Smock Dress ($57): Making a statement while rocking a t-shirt dress calls for fashionable details of the highest order. A good place to start: this artsy graphic print that would look ah-mazing styled alongside patent pointed-toe boots and a sleek sleeveless blazer. For max perfection, team with statement drop earrings and a bold red lip.
Lazy-Girl Polish
Who says comfort and cool factor can’t go hand in hand? Michael Kors is a strong proponent for getups that balance both, and this lazy-girl-at-work getup is proof. Traditional office essentials take on a more laid-back feel when paired with relaxed, oversized silhouettes. (Photo via JP Yim/Getty)
7. Nasty Gal Knit Can Happen Oversized Sweater ($68): Crush those expense reports like the boss you are while staying true to your cozy-girl sensibilities in a thick gray knit. The oversized silhouette slips over elegant blouses like it ain’t no thang, and adds dimension and drama to tailored trousers and streamlined pencil skirts the second you toss it on.
8. Topshop Zip Front Crop Wide Leg Trousers ($75): Introducing your new fave wear-anywhere trousers that just might give your trustiest pair of denim a run for their money. The chic ’70s zip detail and culotte cut put a RN spin on your average nine-to-five attire, especially when paired with a bow-neck blouse or ribbed turtleneck sweater.
Sheer Elegance
To say this sheer Anna Sui look was a straight-up scene stealer would be a major understatement. We’re loving how the designer took two stylistically opposing pieces and threw them together into one incredibly enviable look that will put your standard LBD to shame. (Photo via Frazer Harrison/Getty)
9. Zara Tulle Overshirt ($36): Unless you live in a balmy climate, the whole sheer dress thing might not fly during the cooler months. The solution? Adding a pair of slim-fit trousers to the mix. For an on-the-job ensemble that’s serious #goals, layer this ethereal stunner over leather pants, a frill-neck blouse and bright suede pumps. Stunning.
10. Sister Jane Periwinkle Lace Blouse ($72): Balance out a barely there frock or top with a ladylike blouse packing serious panache. Featuring an embellished collar, ruffle details and periwinkle lace, this perfectly pretty number is ready to take on brainstorming sessions, wine tastings and poetry readings with grace.
