These NYFW Events Are Open To The Public

If you've always wanted to attend a New York Fashion Week fashion show, your chances still might be slim to snag a front row seat. However, there are several New York Fashion Week events that are open to the public that you can attend.

Of course you can stream selected fashion shows online, but if you want to be a part of all of the real action during the two weeks of fashion week, then you're in luck. If you live in New York or are just traveling to the city during fashion week, you can get tickets or RSVP for charity events and pop-up shops that will still have you around all of the hustle and bustle of the fashion world. What's more, if you are a prominent social media influencer or own a popular fashion blog, you might get some perks if you mention it when you RSVP and buy tickets for the public events.

Now get your best NYFW street style outfits ready because you don't want to miss out on these free and public events I rounded up, thanks to Fashion Week Online.
