The most wonderful time of the year? For street-style stars and creative directors, it’s fashion month. Soon, the world’s best dressed will make city sidewalks their runway as they head to the hottest designer shows. Each city on the map has its own signature spin on haute fashion – here’s what we expect the à la mode leaders to be wearing this spring.

NYC
No-nonsense dressing is a common theme for the most stylish New Yorkers – but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be fun. Go from board meeting to front row in a crisp white blouse and a black midi with interesting details. On-trend strappy pumps and mirrored shades prove you’re in with the fashion set, and a sleek topknot makes this your ready-for-anything uniform.

London
The home of Burberry, Alexander McQueen, and Stella McCartney never fails to serve up the perfect blend of royal refinement and polished punk. Reach for a collared shirtdress in a pretty hue and edge it up with a well-worn moto jacket. Black booties and bleached platinum locks create ultimate British It girl vibes.

Milan
From ancient architecture to fine wines, Italian style embodies maximalism with a serious luxe twist. Mix rainbow brights in sleek silhouettes for a classic look with an updated feel – you’ll whisper casual elegance without saying a word in a soft turtleneck, undone hair, and oversized black sunnies.

Paris
From the city of romance, we expect nothing but easy femininity with that certain je ne sais quoi. Pair a floral midi with natural makeup and a soft pink lip to fit right in with the Parisian street-style crowd. Keeping it chic and timeless is the major key in achieving that signature French-girl elegance.
