As New York Fashion Week kicks off, we're ready to channel a fashion editor's eye.

We've gathered go-to looks that will be seen on editors and stylists from New York to Milan. The big story isn't simply about what's trendy. What we love about these looks is that they're surprisingly practical -- fashion editors are known for being stylish schleppers. They can be mixed with what you already own, and they show you how to tap into the essence of chic.

These products were curated by the Hinted editorial team. Hinted is the social shopping platform that lets you create lists of what you want to buy and discover what's new and trending. Use Hinted to keep track of anything you want to buy from anywhere online, including fashion, trips and experiences.

Style Secret 1: Bold Color

There once was a time when the color black was synonymous with fashion editors, but not anymore. NYFW street style reveals editors in a rainbow of eye-catching color in unexpected pieces. Here's how to wear bold color as naturally as neutrals.

Who What Wear, Puff Sleeve Dress

Price: $34.99

target.com

Style Hint: This fall, bold colors rule. We love how the saturated shade of this dress make a statement -- no need to bother with fussy patterns. Wear it with paired-down accessories and comfortable shoes to play up its minimalist appeal.

Topshop, Ria Hi Skinny Sandal

Price: $75

Style Hint: Plan your outfit from the bottom up with these eye-catching sandals. Yellow is still going strong for fall, and we like these because they have a touch of fashion forward neon -- a fall trend we're wearing in small doses. Editors love juxtapositions, so feel free to pair these with the unexpected outfit, say, gray menswear-inspired trousers for work. Come the weekend, try them with wide-leg white jeans. Either way, the color will pop.

Style Secret 2: Unconventional White Blouses

While color is the biggest trend this fall, fashion is all about contradictions. When editors need a palate cleansing, they'll go for a dramatic or unconventional white blouse. The reason: It makes as much of a statement as any color, while looking clean and crisp.

Mango, Buttoned Cotton Blouse

Price: $59.99

mango.com

Style Hint: The trick to making monochrome interesting is to wear one color in varied shades. For instance, pair this stark white blouse with cream colored trousers to create a warmer, more autumnal look.

Editor's Picks

Style Secret 3: Comfortable Shoes

Sure, editors love high heels, but the idea of teetering on them all day long has worn thin, especially during Fashion Week. This fall it's all about comfortable shoes that have interesting details like stacked heels, pointed toes and unexpected details.

Everlane, The Day High Heel

Price: $165

everlane.com

Style Hint: Comfort is the name of the game, and that starts with an elasticized back that prevents blisters. Everlane sells this shoe in a wide range of colors, but we like dark ivy. It's an unsung color that feels more sophisticated than black.

Style Hint: Mules are ideal for these transitional days, but what is catching our eye is the trend of unique heel silhouettes. We also love this fresh take in lavender -- a color that flatters all skin tones.

Style Secret 4: Adventurous Skirts

While dresses have been the editor's summer staple, things are shifting to midi skirts -- they hit just below the knee -- for fall. The cuts and patterns are unexpected -- think asymmetrical lines, knife pleats and sequins for day -- accents that and make an outfit in and of themselves. Choose one -- or all three -- of these, mix with mules and a crisp top, and you're ready to go.

Cos, Pleated Asymmetric Skirt

Price: $125

cos.com

Style Hint: File this skirt under one-and-done. The outfit-making red in lightweight chiffon manages to be both office and date-night friendly. We love to see it with a clean white sneaker for the cool, casual vibe.

Who What Wear, Seamed Asymmetric Hem Slip Skirt

Price: $29.99

Style Hint: If you buy one leopard item this fall, make it this skirt. The asymmetric hem feels floaty and relaxed and plays well with everything. One trend we are loving is mixing leopard with textured leather. For instance, mix this with a pair of faux croc mules, as shown, or suede booties.

Style Secret 5: Menswear-Inspired Pieces

The fashion editor's antidote to fall's slouchy knits and wide pants is to tighten things up with tailored pieces in menswear-inspired fabrics. It's a lasting combo that feels effortlessly chic.

Reformation, Valero Oversized Blazer

Price: $228

nordstrom.com

Style Hint: The secret to looking pulled together without trying: The plaid blazer. The lightweight linen fabric is ideal for transitional weather and can be worn well into fall over drapey knits.

Style Secret 6: Jewelry that Feels Personal

You've seen us reporting on all the big jewelry trends: Bling for day and mod lucite, but what editors will be wearing this fall are layered necklaces that look and feel like family heirlooms -- even if they bought them last week. The trend includes lockets, mystical stones and vintage charms. See our favorites below.

Madewell, Spark Pendant Necklace Set

Price: $42

nordstrom.com

Style Hint: Wear these two delicate chains together or separately. We suggest you show them off while the weather is still warm with an off-the-shoulder top. Come fall, wear them over a turtleneck for a touch a vintage shine.
