New York Fashion Week can be a flurry of over-the-top outfits, and it’s easy to spot plenty of “peacocking” in an attempt to grab the attention of a street style photographer. It’s not uncommon for attendees to meticulously plan their outfits weeks in advance, nor is it uncommon for designers to loan full outfits for influencers, editors, press, and other showgoers to wear. All of this culminates in a parade of looks that, while fabulous, are about as attainable as the latest Prada bag, which is to say, cool to look at but not easy to re-create yourself.
I like to think that editors do things a little differently during NYFW. As experts in shopping, we’ve all come to have a great eye for affordable pieces that still look quite elevated and chic, so it came as no surprise when we all stepped out to attend the shows, presentations, and parties this week, we wore a number of fashion items that clocked in at under $100. To see every affordable item that made it into our fashion-week outfit rotations, how we styled them, and, of course, shop them yourselves, just keep on scrolling.
