September brings fresh starts, fall layers, and Fashion Week (or rather, four of them). As the style set descends upon New York, London, Milan, and Paris, we’ll watch models, celebrities, and editors dress to the nines both outside the shows and in the front row. So whether you’re making the rounds to each city or simply scoping the runway from afar, read on for these insider tips on what to wear, where.

New York
The Big Apple’s style is a lot like the city itself: dynamic, ever-changing, and full of opportunity. And NYC native Leandra Medine is known for the offbeat ensembles and witty writing on her Man Repeller site. Grab her look by pairing your favorite Chanel-inspired tweed with a casual white tee. Top it off with cool-girl shades and an evening clutch for a fresh twist on a classic.

London
Traditional British fashion is brimming with tartan, ornate fascinators, and tailored trenches. But model and trendsetter Poppy Delevingne’s eclectic look perfectly portrays the nontraditional British street fashion: We’re talking polished, with a hint of punk. Steal her style by mixing an ultra-femme dress with an edgy moto jacket.

Milan
Milan has a reputation for luxury and elaborate architecture. And if there’s one person who puts the fun back into fashion, it’s Candela Novembre. This stylish mom and wife of Italian designer and architect Fabio Novembre often turns heads in mixed-print, personality-packed looks. Follow her lead with a one-and-done key item (like a bold faux-fur coat).

Paris
When it comes to daydreaming about Paris, usually romantic views, macarons, and, yes, fashion are top of mind. And blogger-turned-designer Jeanne Damas is the epitome of effortless French chic. Nail her look with evergreen pieces that never go out of style, like a menswear-inspired suit. Then, tailor it to your liking with a red lip and quirky extras.
