Now that New York Fashion Week has drawn to a close, we can look back at some of the major looks, trends, and our overall favorites, and group them accordingly. We gathered together some our ready to wear favorites that can be easily adapted from the runway into your regular wardrobe choices. Richard Chai LOVE hit a home run this season with oversized blazers and bountiful layering in a darker palette, while Nicholas K’s girl is pretty much the coolest chic around, bringing back a strong country western vibe into fashion with 10 gallon styled hats to complete the look.

As Nicole Miller aptly notes in the program, “the past plays out in the present.”
