The Paris Couture shows had us wondering whether even the most adventurous of fashion girls could wear Haute Couture in real life—and we put our theory to the test. Turns out, it's not so tough to hit the food market, the metro and the quaint cafés of the Marais in a gargantuan gown.

In the spirit of test driving jaw-dropping looks from the runway, we took to New York Fashion Week to comb the Ready-to-Wear collections for all the looks that may not be dubbed "wearable"—to prove just how easy it is to wear this season's top trends IRL.

Start the day off in Siriano. If you're lucky enough to own these walking florescent ruffles from Christian Siriano's Spring 2018 runway, odds are you'll be partying all night long–and heading to work in a hurry. En route, you'd probably stop off at your favorite diner, where you're a local and the manager knows your name and how you like your coffee, for a morning pick me up.

Before a hard day's work, its time to hit the gym—in Fenty x Puma by Rihanna, bien sur. The best work outs usually happen when you're looking (and feeling) your best.

Whoever says there is no such thing as (or no need for) an athletic heel, a gym-worthy jumpsuit, or an ultra-low pair of parachute pants, should reconsider. There is no leg workout quite like hitting an elliptical or a treadmill in 5 inch heels–we hear it does wonders for toning your legs–and making your shoes a walkable stretch in the process.

It appears these pieces are as practical as they are irreverent–and make for the chicest workout we've ever seen. After some cardio and weights, a quick rinse, blow dry and costume change, you have business to attend to.

Take a risk and trade in your gym clothes for a micro mini (with crystal-encrusted undergarments to match).

Tom Ford's ombré crystal after-hours looks turned 9 to 5 when we took them for a spin in the office and challenged their NSFW-style. It appears that ample doses of sparkle make a confident impression in meetings, while sky-high stilettos paired with the shortest of hemlines and strong shoulders ooze authority rather than sex appeal when they demand to be taken seriously. These looks get bonus points for seamlessly transitioning from the office to a crazy-fun night out.

Office hours are much more fun when you're covered in sparkles.

Bold colors make running errands less of a chore.

Head out in bright tones and vibrant prints: like Josep Font's embroidered riff on paisley for Delpozo. Against the concrete jungle of Manhattan, you'll be sure to stand out. Embrace it by throwing on a lip color that makes the brights in your look pop. Your inspiring ensemble will boost the mood during rush hour, and turn heads.

Confetti-clad looks are reason enough to throw a party...and create your own rom-com-worthy fashion montage while you're at it.

Carolina Herrera's cocktail looks from her Spring 2018 collection, which debuted at the MoMA, call for feather boas, strings of beads and endless aisles of balloons, candy and favors. Be forewarned, they might just inspire a little mid-shopping dance party.
