These 20 Paris Fashion Week Looks Are Surprisingly Wearable
Though Fashion Week's dramaturgical shows are often laden with looks the average woman wouldn't dare wear outside her front door, designers do have a knack for peppering their runways with more down-to-earth looks. Paris Fashion Week in particular showcased ensembles that any street style blogger would be eager to snatch straight off the runways. Figure-enhancing silhouettes, leather accents, and simple yet standout pairings were everywhere on the runways, leaving audience members aghast that designer looks could actually be wearable.
