Fashion month is always a huge source of inspiration on and off the runways. After it’s over we editors excitedly analyze all the standout styles and trends that we predict will be huge in the months to come.

There were plenty of statement trends and looks that stimulated our sartorial senses on the recent F/W 23 runways (think: fiery red hues, fishnet tights, and glistening metallics) but there’s one humble item that made a surprising and lasting impression on us—hoodies. We were particularly draw to the hoodie outfits spotted on the Miu Miu runway where plain t-shirts and knits were styled with zip-up hoodies and jackets—creating a layered look that is insanely easy to imitate. The brand provided plenty of fresh outfit ideas on how to wear the casual basic that most of us already own. (Styling the staple with undies as they did is of course, optional). All the editors have been utterly obsessed with these Miu Miu hoodie looks, and the allure lies with the fact it’s so darn easy and affordable to copy ourselves.
