It's only been a few days since the end of New York Fashion Week, but it already feels like I've lived many lives since then. What can I say? From jetting to The Plaza for Staud to roaming around the American Museum of Natural History for Tory Burch, you could say the week was busy. Plus, the weather was—I'll say this as nicely as possible—unpleasant, so amid the heavy rain and high humidity, sitting in the dry venues and watching beautiful clothing come down the runway were the moments I was looking forward to. 

Following the long schedule, here are some highlights of the scene. Sandy Liang had a bow-filled show with on-brand guests, including Lola Tung from The Summer I Turned Pretty, who wore a full "pretty" look from the designer. Mansur Gavriel took over Orchard Street to celebrate the brand's 10th anniversary with fresh snacks, a tower of its iconic bucket bags, and models walking through the streets. Wes Gordon showed his spring collection for Carolina Herrera in the Whitney Museum of American Art, where models walked outside to give outside guests a view. Ralph Lauren returned to the show calendar. (The last time he presented in New York was September 2019.) It's these moments that make fashion week so dreamy.

Despite designers showing their spring 2024 collections, there were a plethora of trends I wanted to peel off the runway and wear immediately. (Some shows even had "see now, buy now" options, so I'm not the only one.) Showgoers and models held fans as they battled the heat, but there were a lot of other moments that deserve your attention. Modern futurism at Tory Burch had our entire team texting each other in a frenzy. Proenza Schouler brought out red tights and coordinating red dresses that our editor in chief and I immediately ran to mimic following the show. Staud brought back '90s-inspired pastels that we couldn't help but swoon over. While the weather may have been a little chaotic this season, there were gems among the week that we're holding on to till spring. 

There are still three more cities to go to, but before we move on to London, Milan, and Paris, I'm giving you a complete download on the top trends to know from New York below.

Our editor Anna wore black capris to the Sandy Liang show, so you could say Who What Wear was ahead of the curve. I know the resurgence of this might cause an initial shock, but the designer above proves that, when styled correctly, they'll look incredibly cool.

These days, all you need is a bow on top to take a clothing item to the next level. Brands like Sandy Liang have become synonymous with the look, but more of the fashion set seems to be catching on.

We've all used the words "quiet luxury" and "minimalism" more than ever this year, and the runways of Tibi and Bevza show that, even for 2024, less is still more.

Models bared it all this season as they walked down the runways in netted dresses. I also spotted netted bags that the live artists held their supplies in at Kallmeyer's presentation that are still on my mind. To play on the safer side, I'd love to see this layered over another dress or over a tank and trousers to give a nod to Proenza's runway.

Sheer fabrics look better than ever. This season, to make the trend more wearable, they were paired with wardrobe basics like blazers and sweaters.

The bigger the earrings, the better. Everyone went into a frenzy with Bottega Veneta's Drop Earrings, and brands this season followed suit with more heavy-duty jewelry.
