T&C’s Ultimate Guide to Surviving Fashion Month SS25

“My most important fashion month accessory is my Costa Brazil roll-on fragrance. Even if its powerful scent has incredible lasting power, It travels with me everywhere, from New York to Paris. It fits neatly in my toiletries kit, and it comes in handy for a touch-up every time I’m sweatily running late to a show. It’s my fashion Swiss Army Knife!” —Erik Maza, Executive Style Director

“My favorite fashion month outfits are found somewhere in the middle of stylish & comfortable. My go-to are Agolde Jeans—they’re soft and moveable while still being chic. This style is new for fall, and the high-waist paired with the wide leg are the best of both worlds.” —Dania Ortiz, Fashion & Accessories Director

“After discovering the Nori Press thanks to a T&C Tried & True, the steamer has become an absolute necessity—for fashion month and beyond.” —Emily Burack, Senior News Editor

“As much as I love the return of flats as a trend, my narrow heels can make classic styles tricky to fit. Thus, my recent obsession with Margaux’s Crosby slingbacks. They’ve got a cool French Girl je ne sais quoi with their pointed toe and mary jane strap, Margaux’s signature comfort for long days of shows, and the slingback strap means I never have to worry about stepping out of them. Plus, the bit of extra exposure makes them a perfect in-between look for transitional season.” —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

“Kudos to anyone who can navigate fashion month’s crushing schedule in heels—not to mention be able to fit multiple pairs of shoes into their carry-ons. For the rest of us, a flat that is comfortable and still luxurious is key. You can wear these all day, from 8am show to 8pm cocktails, and still be perfectly dressed for each occasion.” —Leena Kim, Editor

“Fashion week means being on your feet and running around the city all day every day, while still keeping in mind that there are photographers around every corner. I’m obsessed with these Loeffler Randall boots, they’re a low enough heel to wear all day and the’ll elevate any outfit.” —Hannah Morrolf, Fashion Assistant

“What? Me, tired? When I use this mask, no one would ever guess. A quick 15 minutes in the morning, and I’m glowing like I’ve slept for about 8 hours longer than I actually have.” —April Long, Beauty Editor

“Fashion month isn’t always skin-friendly (odd hours, perhaps a cocktail or two too many) but this dense cream helps set me right, plumping my skin and restoring hydrating and bounce with peptides, amino acids, and plant stem cells.” —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

“These gorgeous tortoise shell sunglasses might make elevate my fashion look, but I’m really just covering up the bags under my eyes from going out three nights in a row.” —Isiah Magsino, Style News Editor

“I’m getting ‘tech hand’ from the amount I’m glued to my iPhone, and this is helping—plus, adds some pearl and sparkle to whatever I’m wearing.” —Claire Brito, Social Media Editor

“Versatility is top of mind for me, and a navy blazer as classic as this one will take you places long after fashion month is over.” —Sophie Dweck, Associate Shopping Editor

“When you are on a mad dash from show to show, you need your bag to be relatively unfussy, hold everything you need, and look fabulous. You’ll find that hat trick in the Loewe squeeze bag. I’ll be wearing it in this gorgeous sunflower yellow, the perfect color for September weather.”—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director

“Much like the perfect handbag, you need a good pair of shades to get you through the wild ride (and multiple weather possibilities) that is fashion month. This oh-so ’90s style by MiuMiu is the perfect functional and fabulous pair, and I just know they’ll complement my suede and leather pieces that I’ll be bringing out when it gets a bit cooler.”—Roxanne Adamiyatt, Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director
