WORDS BY ALEXANDRA RHODES
Fashion month may be all about what we'll be wearing next season, but the scene outside the shows tells a very different story. Throughout February the street style set have been providing us with real life inspo on how to wear the current collections. So you can quite literally see now, buy now. Consider the below (repeatedly snapped) pieces fast-tracked to the top of our SS18 wish list…
The Wandler Hortensia Bag
As soon as we laid eyes on Wandler’s bright and bold Hortensia bag, we knew it would be street style catnip. The mini and maxi versions have been spotted on everyone from Georgia Tal to Chloé Harrouche.

The Calvin Klein Boots
During fashion month, boots made for walking really are the order of the day. The editors’ current favourite for skipping between appointments? Calvin Klein’s silver-tipped cowboy boots.

The Balenciaga Coat
How to get snapped by a street style photographer? Stand out, and wear Balenciaga. Seamlessly fusing form and function, this red parka is the ultimate way to beat the plummeting temperatures of the February shows.

The Le Specs Sunglasses
Nineties inspired sci-fi shades are enjoying a (prolonged) moment in the spotlight, and these extreme cat-eye frames from Australian label Le Specs have proven to be the most Instagram-friendly of the season.

The Simon Miller Lunch Bag
Simon Miller duo Daniel Corrigan and Chelsea Hansford took the concept of fashion week fuel to a whole new level when they launched their paper bag-inspired clutch. And from the looks of things, it’s satisfying more than a few style cravings.
