As I type, I’m in the middle of my third New York Fashion Week. I have learned so much in my three seasons and always have the best experience. I know a lot of bloggers don’t feel the need to go to New York Fashion Week and prefer going when it’s quieter. While I’m all for coming to New York when it’s a little less busy, I also have reasons why I go to New York Fashion Week.
I’m sharing all of my reasons with you in this post!
Why I go to New York Fashion Week
The Runway Shows
I’m not a big enough blogger to get into the high-end shows, but I do get invited to some pretty cool smaller designers. There’s something about sitting in a crowd and watching a collection get unveiled. The energy is so electric and exciting and it’s always fun people watching and seeing who is in the front row!
The Street Style
I get so inspired seeing all of the fashion and street style at Fashion Week. I get ideas of how to wear pieces I already own and get a sense of what some of the season’s hottest styles will be. This fashion week I noticed a lot of oversized blazers and shirt dresses, exaggerated sleeves, and cowboy boots!
Brand Meetings
Sure, you can get better face-to-face time when it’s not fashion week, but it’s exciting seeing new collections and getting facetime with some of my favorite brands. They also usually have some fun activations when you visit showrooms!
Creating Content
In New York, I can wear pieces that I don’t normally wear in Nashville. I meet with a photographer and stock up on great content. I shoot anywhere from 5-10 looks when I’m in NYC!
Cool Events
This season I went to events with Vogue, WWD, Shopbop, etc. They have really cool set-ups, guests, food, photo booths, you name it! It’s also a great time to see bloggers you love and follow or blogger friends you don’t normally get to see.

Sounds like you know how to make the most of your time at NYFW. I’ve never been, but I think just having the opportunity to meet other gals I know from blogging would be reason enough to enjoy it!
Love this post and these are amazing reasons to go!! Love seeing all of the streetstyle fashion, and I can only imagine how exciting it must be to go to the shows!

These are great reasons to go! I live about 30-45 mins from NYC so going to NYFW has always been a goal of mine seeing that I don’t necessarily need to stay over lol. I was in Mnahattan during fashion week for TheCurvyCon which was awesome and a great way to see plus size brands that are being size inclusive. Great post!
I definitely love the idea of getting to stock up on new content while you’re wearing all these cool new clothes! I loved that when I was at NYFW!
I’ve been a couple of times and LOVED it! It was such a fun experience and I definitely want to go back one day. Just not right now lol. Glad you had a fun time!
