This season the Cut will be ranking the street-style looks from the previous day. We’ve selected these 18 from the dozens that photographer YoungJun Koo shot to bring you this list. Agree? Disagree? Chime in on the comments.

New York Fashion Week kicked off officially yesterday, and it was close to 90 degrees. Still, many showgoers opted for seasonally inappropriate clothing. Aimee Song layered a cropped knit over a white button-down, all from BCBG, and somehow managed not to appear sweaty. Phillip Lim opted for a wool blazer worn with a pair of jeans that were almost culottes. But thankfully, not everyone thought it was 50 degrees outside. Leandra Medine wore cutoffs with a billowy Rosie Assoulin blouse, while Eva Chen showed up in an off-the-shoulder top by Tibi and what looked like really breezy pants from Alice + Olivia. Click ahead to see where they made it on our list and who else joined them.

No. 18 — Aimee Song Either she runs really cold or she has some secret air-conditioning system sewn into that outfit, because just looking at Aimee's outfit could make a girl break out in a sweat. Points for great layering, but demerits because it was almost 90 yesterday. Photo: I’M KOO
No. 17 — Phillip Lim First there were mankles and now there are ... man-lottes? Bold move, Phillip.  Photo: I’M KOO

No. 13 — Elizabeth Minett White on white with a practical menswear-style oxford is the least green-juice-friendly outfit, but at least it looks good. Hope there's a Tide pen in that cross-body.

No. 12 — Sonya Esman Told you SpongeBob by way of Moschino would make an appearance.  Photo: I’M KOO

No. 10 — Linda Tol Revisiting grunge can be really tired, but this Dondup dress fuses plaid and a white tee in a way that makes it covetable. Doesn't hurt that her combat boots are Prada either.

No. 5 — Leaf Greener While the draped and beaded dress is unusual enough, it was really her bag that bumped her up on the list. If you look closely the clasp is a retro car — kitschy and chic.

No. 4 — Camille Charrière Adidas tee meets Stella McCartney flatforms for that tried-and-true high-low mix. Photo: I’M KOO

No. 3 — Sana Rezwan Sait Third place is going to a street-style rookie because that combo of a camisole tucked into culottes is not only seasonally appropriate but also looks entirely her own and not borrowed.
