While it’s almost time to trade out NYC’s bustling streets for more far-flung fashion locales (we’re looking at you, London, Paris and Milan), we still have another hot minute or two to swoon over the enviable ensembles making their debut during Fashion Week in the Big Apple. Day six saw its fair share of vibrant hues that would do any color lover’s capsule wardrobe proud, as well as sleek metallics and OMG-worthy sheer dresses, skirts and trousers that beautifully combined sultry sophistication and sass. Below, we’re introducing you to five of the day’s best looks and the pieces you need to recreate them IRL. Scroll on to take your style far ahead of the sartorial curve.
To say we’re loving the slew of daytime metallics dominating the Narciso Rodriguez runway would be an understatement.

East Coast Prep
Tory Burch’s collection was a playful fusion of East and West Coast, jam-packed with vibrant color and punchy prints. While we found ourselves swooning hard for the patches of pretty florals that were out en force, it was this preppy sports chic look we couldn’t get out of our heads. (Photo via Slaven Vlasic/Getty)
6. Zara Trousers With Golden Side Buttons ($100): Now here’s a look we never thought would become an actual thing: side-button track pants. A far cry from the ones you rocked back in the early ’00s, these bad boys are straight-up sophisticated with their slightly flared silhouette and sleek gold buttons. Style alongside an oversized button-down and geometric hoops for a winning nine-to-five ensemble.
7. & Other Stories x Rodarte Striped V-Neck Sweater ($85): Channel some of Tory’s East-coast prepster vibes sporting a collared knit top with ’70s flair. Whether you tuck it into a suede midi skirt or wear it with flared jeans, it makes a seriously chic alternative to your traditional tee-and-jeans routine.
Sophisticated Tulle
Vera Wang really knows how to set a girl’s heart aflutter, and that’s whether you’re a bonafide grunge goddess or a fan of flirty frocks. While the bodacious pearl maxi might not make the cut for everyday livin’, we can totally see this tulle t-shirt serving as a focal point for endless on- and off-duty ensembles.

8. Zara Basic Tulle T-Shirt ($16): The easiest way to upgrade your closet without experiencing a strong sense of buyer’s remorse? Opt for next-level versions of your everyday essentials. Case in point: this floaty tulle t-shirt that would look just as good tucked into a pair of high-waisted denim as it would be styled alongside an embellished A-line skirt.
