The 20 Items Every Budding Street Style Star Needs This Fashion Week

Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission.

With every season, Fashion Week becomes less about what's going on inside the tents and much more about what is being worn on the streets. And the bloggers, fashion insiders, and trend-making market editors who are most often the focus of a street style photographer's lens are there not just because they have impeccable taste. It's often because they are sporting bold, statement-making pieces that the rest of us never thought would make it off the runway.

What items will guarantee several hundred snaps this season? We've earmarked the It bags, shoes, prints, and accessories that will get the job done. Sure, you can't buy style, but maybe with just one or two wow-worthy purchases, you can buy a little street style fame. Source: Getty / Timur Emek

Topshop Daisy Print Shirt Dress

Topshop Daisy Print Shirt Dress

Although the turf outside the tents is no place for fashion wallflowers, '70s-inspired floral prints will reign supreme. We see Anna Dello Russo showing off her flower power in this oversize, collared daisy frock ($105).

Anya Hindmarch Big Eyes Tote

Anya Hindmarch Big Eyes Tote

For those looking to make quirk part of their signature look, a whimsical or punchy statement bag is an all-out essential. Natalie Joos would be remiss not to have her eye on this powder-blue Anya Hindmarch carryall ($2,058).

Chloé Knee-High Gladiator Sandals

Chloé Knee-High Gladiator Sandals

We've learned that freezing temps don't stop a steadfast street style star, so we won't be surprised whatsoever to see the It shoe of the Spring 2015 runways stomping through the snow . . . even if it's a fully exposed knee-high gladiator wedge sandal ($1,450).

Neiman Marcus Obi Belt

Neiman Marcus Obi Belt

Kimono dressing will find a happy place in the chilly days of Winter for anyone wanting to feel comfy and cozy. Still, we expect it to get a sleek finish with the help of a waist-cinching obi belt ($275) when worn by the likes of fashion editor Christine Centenera.

Diane von Furstenberg Gingham Wrap Dress

Diane von Furstenberg Gingham Wrap Dress

Gingham was one of the most prevalent prints for designers' Spring 2015 collections, so we expect to see it in every iteration imaginable. We can see the preppy, polished Nicole Warne in a sweet silk gingham wrap dress ($478) from Diane von Furstenberg's collection.

Stella McCartney Embellished Jeans

Stella McCartney Embellished Jeans

Embellished denim isn't necessarily new to the street style scene, but ever since Dolce & Gabbana sent down a Swarovski-crystal-bedecked pair of boyfriend jeans (which we later found out would retail for $12,500!), the trend is absolutely enviable. We love the colorful stones on this slightly more affordable blue denim pair ($995) and fully expect Jenna Lyons to be working the look.

Derek Lam Tri-Tone Rose Suede Trench Coat

Derek Lam Tri-Tone Rose Suede Trench Coat

Colorful suede was another key trend for Spring 2015, and Derek Lam's straight-off-the-runway purple colorblock coat ($5,990) is a true statement topper. Added benefit? Because it speaks for itself, there's no need to agonize over what to wear under it!

Betsey Johnson Mismatched Earrings

Betsey Johnson Mismatched Earrings

When Oscar de la Renta, Nina Ricci, Hermès, and Louis Vuitton all showcase mismatched earrings, you know it wasn't done by mistake. We trust those looking to get snapped will do some DIY mixing and matching or opt for a preswapped pair like this key and leaf set ($35).

Chinese Laundry Thick-Heel Platforms

Chinese Laundry Thick-Heel Platforms

For those style setters less interested in athletic-inspired shoes, the go-to heel will be platforms. And thanks to a nod to the 1970s, that heel will be thick. The petite Miroslava Duma, known for her sky-high footwear, will make us all want a fun pair ($70) by the end of the week.

Tibi Striped Sweater

Tibi Striped Sweater

Although stripes were a clear runway trend for Spring, no ordinary striped shirt will do. It's all about playing with positioning and placement, something done well on this cropped sailor sweatshirt ($350). Longtime Tibi fan Shiona Turini would definitely pull this off.

Spektre Colored Sunglasses

Spektre Colored Sunglasses

Another season, another style of sunglasses. This time around, it's all about bright, colorful specs, and we think this poppy-blue pair ($215), with lenses that stand out against tortoiseshell frames, will look sharp on fashion risk-taker Hanneli Mustaparta.

WYLDR Fringe Jacket

WYLDR Fringe Jacket

It's not always about what you wear but how you wear it, and a good fringe jacket, with the right shimmy and the right shake, offers up endless photo ops. This faux-leather option ($98) is all about movement and will captivate the most jaded fashion photographer.

Dolce & Gabbana Circle Bag

Dolce & Gabbana Circle Bag

Bags can take many shapes, and now that the bucket has had its moment, it's time to come full circle. This round handbag ($795) works as a clutch or as a crossbody, and we trust a savvy blogger will find yet another way to wear it.

River Island Turtleneck Dress

River Island Turtleneck Dress

Thanks to fashion labels like Dior and red carpet stars like Rosamund Pike, the high neckline is shaping up to be a major silhouette trend for Spring. And what better time to start trying it out than the Winter? Olivia Palermo is practical enough to opt for a delicate turtleneck dress ($80) while show-hopping.

Burberry Colorblock Sneakers

Burberry Colorblock Sneakers

A street style trends that the masses can truly appreciate! Sneakers have been socially acceptable among the fashion industry for several seasons now, but this colorful pair ($595) will brighten up the dreariest day. Chiara Ferragni, they're calling for you.

Michael Kors High-Rise Flare Jeans

Michael Kors High-Rise Flare Jeans

As if it weren't already obvious, this season of street style pros will be channeling the '70s. The easiest way to work the decade, though, is with a pair of flared jeans ($495). Blogger Leandra Medine already has a closet full of them, and with her penchant for pants, it's a good bet she'll be sporting them.

London Fog Saddle Bag

London Fog Saddle Bag

A classic neutral saddlebag might blend in with the crowd, but one in a treated color, like this sage-green satchel ($54), will stand out against the notoriously all-black fashion uniform.

Urban Outfitters Flat-Top Boater Hat

Urban Outfitters Flat-Top Boater Hat

Festivalwear has officially gone mainstream. Although it would pair perfectly with denim cutoffs at Coachella, the flat-top, flat-brim hat ($49) will really go places, literally. It can be worn all year round, it can span dress codes from off-duty daywear to glam evening attire, and it can keep bad hair days in check. It's really the perfect accessory for the supermodel running to her next show or the overworked fashion writer on a deadline.

Cushnie et Ochs Illusion Crop Top Dress

Cushnie et Ochs Illusion Crop Top Dress

Crop tops have gone through many iterations over the years and have been used as layering pieces and as part of matching sets. This season, we expect to see a rise in illusion crop tops — where there's exposed midriff but the top is actually connected to the bottom. This chic white dress ($1,495) will work some serious style magic.

Fendi Flat Cage Sandals

Fendi Flat Cage Sandals

The next generation of pool slides is perfect for Spring, but it's too cool not to get a moment in the spotlight now. These rubber sandals ($1,650) seem so perfect for market editor Preetma Singh, who's known to rock socks and slides, that we wonder if she strong-armed Fendi into making them.
