New York Fashion Week (NYFW) may have just begun, but the front rows of each show are already bringing to us some of the most hard-hitting early-fall fashion inspo we’ve seen in a while.
While New York is known for its penchant for black, colour is back in a big way with style stars like Amber An and Gina Jin embracing bold colours and prints. Scroll through the gallery and check out our favourite front-row looks at NYFW thus far.

Shirt dresses like this flame-printed midi shirt dress seen on Italian-Taiwanese television presenter, Liv Lo, is an extension of the classic button-up shirt, sans trousers. The shirt dress is smart and chic and has the power to take you everywhere from the office to after-work drinks, with the ease of looking like you’ve borrowed it from your man.
To prevent your shirt dress from giving off the “just got out of bed look,” make sure yours looks crisp not creased and pair with polished accessories like a pair simple pumps.

If gingham checks are the unofficial print of summer, plaid is is the autumnal equivalent that pairs with leather jackets and cozy sweaters. Dress them up with a slogan tee, leather jacket, and pair with bare legs and pristine white trainers or patent heeled boots for a look that’s more class act than class truant.

The key to nailing the 2018 iteration of the ‘70s flared denim jeans is to update them with a modern twist. A crisp oversized blouse, beret and nude purse helps to keep the look contemporary.
If you’re planning to sport flared jeans like Korean beauty YouTuber Risa Bae, make sure to hem your jeans according to the shoes you plan to wear. While you can wear flares with flats, pairing them with heels will help to create the illusion of longer legs.
