New York Fashion Week just finished, and Who What Wear's editors have been all over the city, taking in the shows, monitoring the street style, and noting key emerging trends. "One thing I've been noticing off of the runways are skirt sets. … At Calvin Klein, there were very minimal versions. At Tory Burch, it was these New Look versions with an A-line skirt and a peplum blazer. And then at Khaite, the animal-print ones," said Kristen Nichols, Who What Wear's associate director of special projects.

Nichols added that another trend to watch out for in the fall will be dramatic, oversize shearling coats. " Altuzarra, we saw a lot of different versions of these, and then at TWP, which is another show that's semi-new to the fashion-week calendar, they had a beautiful coat there. At Tory Burch, that was one of the buzziest pieces—this grayish shearling coat that is just so stunning," she said.

For the latest episode of The Who What Wear Podcast, Nichols and Editorial Director Lauren Eggertsen share their favorite shows, their biggest takeaways, and the styling trends they're keeping their eyes on from NYFW. Plus, some of our other Who What Wear editors call in with in-the-moment show reports.

Lauren Eggertsen: What were you most excited about? Did any of the shows that you were looking forward to meet your expectations or surpass them?

Kristen Nichols: This season, there were so many fun shows. It was actually my first time attending a Khaite show in person, which was just really special. I've always loved Khaite, and to just see the collection in person was really magical. It was at the Park Avenue Armory. You stepped into a very dark room, and there was this circular runway and just a set of lights above. It was a very simple set but very impactful. The collection was really just this blend of downtown cool and then uptown polish.
