What We're Buying After Obsessively Studying Fashion Month's Street-Style Looks

The runways of fashion month can be counted on to deliver excellent fodder (styling tricks, trends, must-have items, and so on) for next season—and in some instances, this season. But with the proliferation of street-style stars off the runway, and as a result, an increased number of highly addicting scrollable galleries dedicated to these looks, we've noticed a new behavioral pattern has emerged: a noticeable spike in our shopping expenses immediately after PFW wraps.

We can't help it. We see a checked menswear blazer, and all of a sudden, we need one too as we wonder: How did we get so far in life without one? Or, stirrup pants that seemed too far-fetched of an idea to apply IRL on the Marni runway last season and now, completely doable after seeing it in a street-style snap. If you, like us, exhibit these same tendencies, then, well, Christmas came early. We did all the hard work for you and rounded up the best street-style looks, ID-ed the hero pieces, and shopped out similar items at a more affordable price point (a win-win for our wardrobe and our bank account). Scroll through to start shopping now.

We were intrigued when we saw them on the Marni and Balenciaga runways last season, but we weren't completely sold until we saw stirrups during Fashion Month—worn over pumps and styled with a slouchy sweatshirt and an LV purse.

Gucci, Gucci, Gucci. We're in love with it all. But logo-mania aside, we heart the ladylike bag silhouette and the pearl-embedded loafer heels, which walks the line between lady and prepster.
