Here's What a Fashion Editor's Wardrobe Looks Like For Fashion Week

We get it, you probably think of Fashion Week as a street-style circus, and it kind of is - outside of actually watching designers reveal their new collections, of course. But not everyone wears an elaborate costume to said circus. This season, we the POPSUGAR Fashion editors have decided to stay true to our own independent styles all month long. That doesn't mean we won't get excited to construct outfits we feel super confident in and it doesn't mean we're ignoring the latest trends. But we are putting a lot of faith and trust in the essentials.

Below you'll find pieces - from of-the-moment accessories to completely necessary basics - that we're building our wardrobes around for New York Fashion Week. The best part is, not one item here is over-the-top in a way that's flashy enough to stop traffic. Nothing here is meant to be worn to capture a photographer's attention in the streets - instead, it's just the clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry we're really psyched about wearing far beyond Fashion Month. From dreamy silk blouses to poppy colored bags and asymmetrical earrings, we think you'll find something you like too. Keep reading to shop with us.

These Are the 8 Biggest Shoe Trends For Spring 2020

We're always here for the latest fashion trends from dresses to jeans, handbags to jewelry - heck, we even want to know the biggest color trends and must-have sunglasses each season! A category not to be excluded? Shoes! And while we've already broken down the biggest sneaker trends for 2020, there's a lot more in store for the new decade - think the latest in sandals, boots, flats, and heels.

After surveying the Spring/Summer 2020 runways, it became evident that shoe trends were a bit all over the map. But this is great news! It means there's a style to please every aesthetic.

For die-hard minimalists and those who err on the side of classic, modern loafers and thin and strappy sandals (otherwise known as the naked sandal) are two of the biggest trends you'll see splashed across your Instagram feed, sported on the streets, and on just about every fashion-focused woman you know for Spring. While we witnessed many an iteration of those so-thin-they're-nearly-dental-floss sandals in 2019, the new-decade update comes a little brighter in zippy shades like tangerine, yellow, and blue (of course, fail-safe neutral remains on deck).

Another carry-over trend from 2019? Square-toe shoes in just about every silhouette, heel height, and color you can imagine. With a '90s feel, they're the perfect shoe trend to try if you're all about nostalgia or seeking out a subtle update to boots, flats, heels, or mules. Speaking of subtle updates, slanted heels also rank high on our list of shoe trends to try for 2020. This look riffs off the sculptural heel trend we've seen bubble up over the past few seasons - however, it's one of those superwearable, less in-your-face type of trends that feels achingly fresh.

As for shoe trends we love for evening or simply making a statement, lace-up silhouettes and shoes with extra adornments top our list. When it comes to the former, don't be afraid to embrace the street-style-approved trend of tying them up over pants. As for the latter, I liken this trend a made-up term I call "shoe jewelry" - it includes heels, flats, and sandals with a built-in element like a chain-link or rhinestone strap for a fanciful touch. Fun, yes?

Not a heels girl? No problem. The "ugly" shoe movement continues in 2020, with hefty lug soles and futuristic sneakers as frontrunners. This trend is all about utility and nonchalance; almost as if you don't care at all (even though we totally know you do).

Ready to dive deeper into the biggest shoe trends for Spring? All eight lie ahead, plus my edit of shoes to shop at a range of price points.

Harry Styles Is Out Here Defying Gender Norms Left and Right, and We Can't Help but Stan

Harry Styles: singer, songwriter, fashion icon, and lover of pretty things. We've consistently praised the musician for not being afraid to toe the line on what has previously been considered socially acceptable for men's fashion. It's a breath of fresh air to see someone as high-profile as Harry step out in dangly earrings and pink nail polish simply because he wants to and likes how he looks.

This is a man who went from claiming he only owned two pairs of jeans a few years ago to now praising how fun fashion can be and consistently wearing Gucci, a fashion house known for its androgynous styles as of late. Harry even defends the outfit that has been hailed as his worst - a floral Gucci suit that he still thinks is a good one - which just goes to show that even when other people try to knock him down, Harry's still going to wear whatever he damn well pleases, butterfly clips, nail polish, and all.

Scroll through to see some of our favorite times Harry said a big "f*ck you" to gender stereotypes and wore florals or carried a handbag. We could all learn a little something from Mr. Styles in this regard.

3 Easy-but-Stylish Ways I'm Wearing the Leather Trend in 2020

I can't talk leather without bringing up Ross Geller's infamous pants incident that resulted in "some sort of paste!!!" on Friends. Now that it's out of my system, I can tell you how utterly obsessed I am with the trend. Of course, leather jackets and pants are nothing new, but according to Spring and Summer's most wearable trends for 2020, the concept of leather dressing is more prominent than ever. I, in turn, am here to explain how you can wear this trend IRL, because even though I love a luxe leather (or faux-leather!) piece, I know how tricky it can be to pull off with ease.

I tend toward neutral colors, and find black and brown leather pieces to be most versatile and easy to wear. The perfect starting point for a stylish leather outfit! Despite the fact that I subscribe to a rather minimalist aesthetic, I find that leather pieces with clean lines and minimal embellishment are best regardless of your chosen silhouette, be it a buttery-soft leather dress, high-rise trouser, or oversize shirt. My third hot tip? Let a single leather piece be the focus of your outfit, then ground it with wardrobe basics like jeans, a plain turtleneck, or a simple black boot. Trust me, your look will stand out whether that's the aim or not. In fact, you'll likely emphasize the exquisiteness of a leather item by streamlining the rest of your outfit.

Without further ado, ahead, keep reading for three ways I'm wearing the leather trend now and into Spring. Then, shop all of my outfits head to toe - I've managed to source most of my exact pieces and similar styles with affordable alternatives in the mix, too.

Put on Your Sunglasses - These Real-Life Engagement Rings Are Sparkling Showstoppers

From solitaires to halo settings, marquise-cut diamonds to trendsetting princess cuts, narrowing down the perfect engagement ring can be a bit overwhelming - even if you're not the one actually buying the stone. With so many styles, band sizes, and gemstones to choose from, getting the inspiration you need to find your forever stone shouldn't be a feat of its own. While classic styles with cushion-cut diamonds are wished for by the traditional bride, other soonly-weds might dream of a striking emerald with a rectangular shape, depending on their taste. The fact that engagement rings are so different from one another is an advantage for every bride, meaning they'll be able to find a stone that perfectly fits them, and their unique love, until the very end.

Whether 2020 is the year you're hoping to get engaged or you simply want to swoon over gorgeous engagement rings from around the globe, we rounded up the most beautiful sparklers that real brides and grooms have said "yes" to over the years. No matter what your ring preference might be, take a peek at the most dazzling rocks ahead, and get ready to be inspired.
