Fashion week is one of the most highly anticipated events in the fashion industry. For fashion lovers, it is a chance to see the latest designs from their favorite designers. For fashion industry professionals, it is an opportunity to network and make meaningful connections. But for everyone, it is a chance to see some of the most beautiful people strut their stuff on the runway. 

For fashion week in Milan, London, Paris, and New York this year, viewers saw bold statements made on the runway. We saw daring cuts, unique silhouettes, and outrageous colors. We also saw a lot of skin shown, with many designers opting for plunging necklines and thigh-high slits. While some may find fashion week to be over-the-top, there is no denying that it is always an exciting event.

If you didn't make it to any of the significant hubs for high-fashion shows, don't worry. Phoenix Fashion week is coming up, and we will see the latest trends and glimpse what the future of fashion might hold in the southwest and nationwide. We can also see how the seven handpicked local designers interpret current trends showcased across the globe. 

How to style your Phoenix Fashion week outfit

No matter your fashion style, there's sure to be something for everyone at this year's Phoenix Fashion Week. To help style your look, we've put together some of our best suggestions and tips to help you slay the event. 

1. Shop your wardrobe

Shopping your wardrobe isn't just the most eco-friendly option but often the most stylish decision you can make. Rather than feeling like you need to buy into the latest fashion pieces or douse yourself with designer labels, Phoenix Fashion Week is the time to experiment with your unique style. 

Pull out those pieces you've been meaning to wear but never quite had the confidence to and put together an outfit that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. If you have hero pieces in your closet, choose a bold, unique option that you can easily style with accessories. 

Not only will shopping your wardrobe saves you money, but also the hassle of having to return items that don't fit or suit you.

2. Choose an outfit that is stylish and comfortable

If you want to stand out from the crowd during fashion week, there are a few simple tips that you can follow. Choose clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident. There is no point in reinventing the wheel regarding a fashion week look, so stick to what you know works for you. The best fashion moments come from those who embrace their style and don't try to mimic others. 

Last but not least, pay attention to the little details. Something as simple as choosing the right accessories or pairing different pieces together can make all the difference. 

3. Use street style to influence your look

Fashion is constantly changing and evolving. New styles and trends emerge every season, which can be hard to keep up with. However, there are a few ways to ensure you're always ahead of the curve. Take advantage of street style guides. Street style has embraced a 90's and 2000's look with crop tops, oversized blazers, loose-fitting jeans, and sneakers. Glam a street style look by choosing a mini skirt with a blazer, chic accessories, and chunky boots.
