NYFW has come and gone, but we’re still sighing wistfully over all of the gorgeous looks that walked before us. Today we’re focusing on the details: the subtle lips, the flashy eyes, the dreamy hair, the perfectly manicured hands.

For the most part, we saw a blend of sharp modernity — think swatches of bright colors on lids and funky manis — and flawless, natural beauty. There were many, many nude lips. Brows were combed, but not filled in. And hair was wild and free. Here are some of our favorite looks from Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2015. Enjoy.

Altuzarra

If you look close enough, you’ll see a hint of grayish blue on the interior corner of each eye. And nude nails — surprise surprise.

Bibhu Mohapatra

This color combination is a striking one, and we love that the nails fall right in line. Note that the lips are so pale they blend into the skin.

Cushnie et Ochs

Sleeked back hair with lots of visible bobby pins. We’re calling it relaxed glamour.

Delpozo

The nails are killer here — just subtle enough. The eyes are also pretty, and we’re a fan of the unlined, bushy-browed look.

Diane von Furstenberg

More nude nails and lips, this time paired with a “slept in” smokey eye.

Eckhaus Latta

We’re not quite sure how this hair was created, but we’re digging the unkempt vibe.

Kaelen

These nails are actually press-ons from KISS Broadway nails.

Karen Walker

It was a blue dream at Karen Walker. Super short, metallic blue nails and a soft swipe of blue on lids = perfection.

Monique Lhuillier

Super smudgy eyes and pin-straight hair made for a lot of drama at Monique Lhuillier.

Naeem Khan

Naeem Khan had one of the more “look at me” makeup looks with shadow that hit the brow bone and a perfectly drawn on, crimson-red lip. Note the gold nails, which were all over NYFW.

Nanette Lepore

Here’s another bold look, this one from Nanette Lepore. There’s something quite striking about the spidery eyelashes and pop of lip color.

Rebecca Minkoff

Black and red chevron nails were seen at Rebecca Minkoff.

Sandy Liang

This is perhaps one of the most wearable looks we saw at fashion week. A delicately lined eye, side swept hair, and an otherwise nude — but glowing — face.

Sophie Theallet

Nude lips? Check. Defined eyes? Check. Natural, but polished brows? Check.

Wes Gordon

This was one of our favorite manicures: a matte black nail with a haphazard splotch of glossy purple.

It’s Fall/Winter 2015-2016 fashion runway season, darlings, and we’ve already seen plenty of interesting things at the menswear shows. For example, the world collectively gasped and covered their mouths at the sight of designer Rick Owens’ infamous “penis runway“ at Paris Men’s Fashion Week, and the return of “loose fits” in menswear at Gucci, Armani and Versace has people wondering if perfectly-fitted suits are O-U-T out.

(Sidebar: We really hope the loose fit thing doesn’t make a comeback. We had enough of that in the ’80s and ’90s, thankyouverymuch).

If you are in the “biz,” or really serious about keeping up with the shows, Modem magazine has a comprehensive fashion week agenda, lists of showrooms, tradeshows, multi-label showrooms and events.

We’re excited to see what else comes sauntering down the fashion runway, and we’re sure you are, too. Fortunately, there are plenty of days and weeks left to get our fix. For your delight, we have attached the best head-turning menswear fashion week looks from the streets of Milan. Ladies, be kind to your men, don’t expect them to look or dress like that. Enjoy!

PS. Do let us know if you plan to attend anything tweet us #stylishweek – we’ll find you! We’d love to see your pictures or hear your thoughts on anything related to the fashion week.
