Paris Fashion Week Street Style Day 2: Off To The Races

Engines ready?

by Hayden Manders

Some time ago, in some year of our Lord, Rihanna wore something racing-inspired and kicked off fashion's need for speed. (Rihanna Navi, can someone direct us to this outfit? It must be at least three years ago... anyway.) We're in the thick of it now, this racing-inspired moment. The colors are getting closer to highlighter hues, the silhouettes are boxy, and checkerboard prints pepper the street style crowd just as much as racing stripes. It's an elegant display of swagger, really. Especially during Paris Fashion Week, where the contrast of the fashions with Paris' romantic architecture creates a millennial-type of luxury.

Vroom, vroom, let's get this street style show on the road. Missed the first day's batch of street style? We got ya, right here.

All against assholes, sure. But all FOR that overcoat.

Hey, if you're going to protect your most valuable assets (phone and wallet), you may as well foolproof it.
