Fashion Week introduces trends for the season to come, but it also keeps us firmly rooted in the current moment through street style. What people wear while skipping from one show to the next is often just as inspiring as anything you’ll see walking down the runway – if not more so.
Don’t get me wrong—denim can look polished. However, if you’re aiming for that understated, old-money energy, there’s a pant trend that feels more elevated: suede. Since November, the fashion crowd has been embracing the luxe staple on repeat, often pairing it with equally elegant footwear—kitten-heeled, pointed-toe pumps. Elsa Hosk is among the style insiders championing the combination, and, as she does best, she makes it look effortless.
And just like that, it’s time to start wishing all the stylish New Yorkers in your life a happy Fashion Week. Whether you’re an editor, content creator, fashion enthusiast, or just a city dweller, you can feel the energy shift this time of year. Is NYFW absolute chaos every season? Of course, but only the best kind. We’re entering nine full days of runway shows, previews, celeb sightings, and happy reunions.

By evening, as the story softens into something more intimate, Lauren’s seen in a light, flowy floral dress that moves easily with her through the village streets. The silhouette is relaxed, the styling is minimal, and its effect is undeniably romantic. It’s not a dramatic finale look — it’s a believable one, reinforcing that her character’s appeal lies in ease, not excess.
