It's that time of year again.

Even though New York Fashion Week finally slimmed down — it will last five days instead of seven — our small team of editors still have a lot of sartorial ground to cover. From intimate presentations and previews to over-the-top runway shows and parties, we'll be working around the clock — and running all over NYC — to bring you the best Spring 2020 trends, collection highlights, backstage beauty tips and industry rumors from the front lines.

To prep for the madness that is #NYFW, we'll be spending the next few days stocking our bathroom shelves with life-saving beauty products and filling our totes with small — yet essential — items that will keep us energized, glowing, hydrated and sane. From CBD oils to sensible Tevas, read on to browse (and shop!) our fashion week necessities.

Ganni Metallic Socks, $20, available here: NYFW is about 20% fashion and 80% walking. I somehow forget this detail every September and start off the week in a brand new pair of sandals. By the end of day one, I'm limping across town with battered feet. I plan on wearing socks this year to prevent pesky blisters .
