FASHION

Paris Fashion Week Street Style

A funny thing happened during Paris Fashion Week: Paris is the last of the Fashion Weeks, so since it happens in October, it's when editors, stylists and buyers put their best sartorial feet forward, showing off their most covetable pieces from the fall collections in order to grab the attention of street style bloggers and inspire a bit of collegial jealousy. But instead of being engulfed in breezy autumn, Paris was burning—hotthis past week (we're talking high 80s and so steamy inside the venues we heard reports of fainting at Lanvin). The fashion set adjusted, and naturally, the outcome was a stylish one—and hey, a little more suited for the season the designers were showing for anyway. Here are the best trends we saw outside the tents and around and about in the Tuileries.

Prints: Go Big or Go Home

Don't be afraid to be bold and liberal when wearing prints. And feel free to mix and match them, too. See how chic Margherita Missoni (below, left) looks in Missoni zigzags and Giambattista Valli florals? You can, too! And if the loud floral all over the spring runways are any indication, this trend isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Pajamas, During the Day  

It seems counterintuitive, but the pajama look really is quite fashionable when done right, as you can see. (Thank you, Susie Bubble (below, right) for showing us how to pull it off!) And we could not be more wholeheartedly in support of fashion this comfortable.

Menswear: It Never Gets Old

A bit of menswear slouch adds a whole lotta sex appeal. The Parisians really know how to pull this one off. C'est chic. Hint: look like you're not trying, and shop the boys' section of the department stores.
