The season, the best outfits spotted outside the tents were surprisingly simple, but flawlessly executed—the kind of clothes you could wear to work without attracting double-takes. Among our favourite looks: monochromatic uniforms, laid-back ball gowns and subtle ’70s ensembles. Here, the top 10 looks.

Name: Ksenia Mz Age: 26 Profession: Model/blogger “My yellow skirt is vintage, and I just played around it. I’m walking in shows the rest of the week, so today is the only day I can control my makeup, which is why I went for a red lip.”

Name: Marcel Sokalski Age: 20 Profession: Student “I like to mix it up. Today I’m going for what I like to call a backwards look. You know, the opposite of modern.”

Name: Sara Koonar Age: 29 Profession: Editor “I bought my entire outfit last-minute.”

Name: Amarsana Gendunova Age: 24 Profession: Stylist “I’m wearing all Pink Tartan—the pants are my favourite because they’re comfy but they still look good.”

Name: Jebril Jalloh Age: 27 Profession: Store owner “I don’t have a mirror in my house, so I always wear whatever I’m feeling.”

Name: Catriona Smart Age: 35 Profession: PR Writer “My style motto is to keep it fresh. I’m always changing and evolving.”

Name: Nikelle Marier Age: 19 Profession: Student “My look is simple but unique. My best friend told me I look like a ghost today, but I said, ‘No, I look like an angel.’”

Name: Julie Hamulecki Age: 34 Profession: Fashion producer “I usually dress in all black. I like to keep things minimal, but I love this fringe.”
