From New York, Milan, and Paris to Your Wardrobe: 7 Spring Runway Styles You Can Re-Create Today.

      Jalil Johnson is an editor in residence at Who What Wear, a New York-based writer, fashion expert, and media personality. He started his career as a stylist and then spent three years at Saks Fifth Avenue, honing his skills in trend reporting, identifying emerging talent, and brand storytelling. He now shares his knowledge through his newsletter, Consider Yourself Cultured, and has been featured in The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, and Vogue, which named him one of the “New Faces of Street Style.”

      The previous season has finally concluded, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve already begun mentally cataloging everything that captivated your attention: Tory Burch's low-rise, knee-length straight skirts styled with shell jewelry that would make Sally from the seashore jealous; Versace’s printed silk shirts (feel free to double up if you’re bold enough); and shoes by Trevor Houston, the footwear wizard behind Khaite and the creative director of Herbert Levine. We are all still dreaming about acquiring a piece of Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel. The list is extensive.

      While we can make informed assumptions about the prices (I’ve been monitoring Moda Operandi trunk shows; did you know the Calvin Klein underwear dress is priced at $9000?!), the reality is that most of us will have to carefully select where to invest when the spring deliveries arrive. But here’s the good news: I’m not implying that there’s unlimited budget for Blazy’s Chanel, but I do have a little secret to share. You don’t have to wait until February or March to start shopping for the look. In many ways, you can begin now.

      Here’s the deal: What we’re witnessing on the runways isn’t necessarily about reinventing silhouettes anymore. True innovation in 2025 is rare, not because designers have lost their creativity, but because the standards for what is considered “new” keep escalating. Instead, the runway has transformed into a master class in styling, showcasing how to wear what we already possess in fresh ways. Imagine an apron layered over a structured leather jacket, a cascade of multicolored beads spilling over a cream dinner jacket cinched at the waist, or opera-length gloves paired with a military jumpsuit. These styling inspirations are all within reach now!

      Below, I’ve compiled seven standout looks from the recent S/S 26 shows and sourced items from around the web to assist you in recreating them today, no waiting necessary.

      **Tory Burch**

      As observed, this season focused on blending decades, from the '80s and '60s to the current '20s, with a hint of '70s influences at Tory Burch. The trousers and skirts rested low on the waist and were paired with fitted polos or ribbed tanks, completed with exquisite beaded shell jewelry that is sure to be the must-have accessory for next spring and summer.

      **TWP**

      The charm of Trish Wescoat Pound’s brand, TWP, lies in its grounded approach, as opposed to some designers who craft clothing for an aspirational life. TWP remains rooted in everyday reality. The appeal of the garments came from the subtle styling details that made a significant impact: Le Chameau wellies paired with shorts or chinos, eyeglass holders designed as Sherman Field pendants on strings from her new fine-silver collection, and leather totes that are meant for practical use rather than just social media showcases. Authentic, easy pieces for real, daily life.

      **Miu Miu**

      The essential takeaway from Miu Miu was the variety of apron styles, including pinafores, utilitarian designs, floral housewife aesthetics, and French-maid versions. This collection was inspired by Helga Paris's portrait book *Women at Work*, showcasing German factory workers. While Miu Miu made a compelling case for aprons as everyday attire, this may be a challenging concept for some. This is why items like the silk shantung Feedbag Pockets from Attersee feel like a smart tribute to the idea. This small, fashion-forward addition can instantly upgrade your basic blue pants and gray V-neck.

      **Versace**

      Dario Vitale’s debut for Versace was one of the most discussed first showings of the season. His collection returned to the brand's roots while still presenting a youthful take on layering, color, and print mixing. As previously mentioned, the '80s were a major focus this season, and Vitale’s Versace played a prominent role in that narrative. While references to past decades can occasionally come off as overly nostalgic, keeping the looks contemporary by experimenting with modern shapes and color contrasts is essential.

      **Jil Sander**

      Simone Bellotti was another designer making his mark with a debut collection for Jil Sander following a series of well-received shows at Bally. Similar to his previous work, Bellotti managed to take classic
