The only thing better than the Fashion Week runway shows? The street-style stars outside. Fashion month is famous for endless outfit changes as it makes it way from NYC to London to Milan to Paris – and the showgoers’ takes on the season’s biggest trends leave us with enough inspiration to get us to September, when it starts all over again. We’ve rounded up our absolute favorite looks for spring below to help you get the It girl style for yourself.

Refined Edginess
There’s nothing more interesting than the juxtaposition of an Upper East Side–worthy Chanel-style jacket over an outfit that oozes effortless cool. To achieve the look, think in opposites: Medium blue jeans keep it casual while cap-toe heels add polish. Add a personal touch to bridge the pieces, like a sophisticated chain belt.

Feminine Mystique
The upcoming warmer months call for airy fabrics in pretty prints – and nothing says spring better than a dreamy ruffled maxi in creamy hues. Let your floral dress be your hero piece and dress it down with an easy carryall and your favorite go-anywhere booties. Have an event? Swap your shoes for an ankle-strap sandal and steal the show.

Megawatt Extras
It’s all about impactful dressing right now: Bold clothing and unexpected accessories are the keys to look-at-me status. White booties play nicely with vintage-wash jeans and mini dresses alike, and are a chic update on your tried-and-true black pair. But don’t stop there. Throw on a bright statement jacket for chilly mornings to instantly elevate your everyday look straight to cool-girl status.

Major Shades & Statement Stackers
More is more when it comes to accessorizing this season. Opt for oversized sunnies with super-dark lenses for a chic, classic finish to your outfit. For jewelry? Two words: Go. Overboard. Stack and layer all your favorite minimalistic pieces (mixing metals encouraged) for maximal effect.
