The last of the spring/summer 2027 collections have made their way down the runways, but I won't stop thinking about all that took place during fashion month anytime soon. Here at Who What Wear, we'll be analyzing the runways for trends and It items well into 2027. Something else editors always keep an eye on that you don't need to wait until spring to utilize is styling ideas. In fact, you may not even need to buy anything to incorporate these chic tricks into your outfits.

I perused the many runways of New York, London, Milan, and Paris Fashion Weeks and can confirm that there were a great many styling ideas to take note of, but the eight highlighted below are so good that the designers who came up with them used them for multiple looks. They're as varied as a cool way to button a cardigan and the two things to wear with a baseball tee to make it look elegant.

Scroll on for the most copy-worthy looks from spring/summer 2027 fashion month.

The Chicest Way to Style a Baseball Tee

If you've been wondering how to make the inherently casual baseball tee look elegant with little effort, Calvin Klein Collection has your answer. There, it was styled with sleek column skirts and thin scarves draped around the neck and cascading down the back. Who knew a raglan tee could look so stunning?

Put a Ribbon on It

The Chanel S/S 27 runway was filled with styling ideas among the 83 looks. One standout was subtle yet effective. Start with a jacket that isn't too cropped or a button-down shirt, and loosely tie a ribbon around your ribcage with the bow front and center. Cool, pretty, and easy sum it up.

Mismatched Buttons

The styling over at Altuzarra was excellent, and one idea can be used with multiple pieces in your closet: Forgo lined-up buttons and mismatch them instead. You can do this with your cardigans, button-downs, and lightweight jackets. Bonus points for adding a knee-length skirt and loafers.

Car Coats and Cropped Pants

The car-coat trend is set to continue into 2027, as it was spotted on numerous runways, including Celine, where the styling was especially chic. Models wore buttoned-up car coats over slim cropped trousers. It wouldn't hurt to just emulate the entire elegant outfit by adding sheer tights or high socks and pointed-toe flats or kitten heels.

Capris Over Colored Tights

Why yes, you can wear capri pants during the non-summer months, as was expertly shown in Loewe's S/S 27 show. Models wore capri pants over brightly colored opaque tights. The capris were ruffled, and the shoes were heeled sandals, but the styling trick would work with a variety of capri pants and shoe styles.

A Pop of Cobalt

There's no denying that cobalt blue is the color of 2027, and it was spotted on multiple runways in every city. One of the coolest ways it was shown was in the form of a single piece that popped against the rest of the look. Think a cobalt tee or button-down or a strategically placed accessory. TWP provided the perfect example.

Business on the Top, Sporty on the Bottom

A repeat outfit combination on the Miu Miu S/S 27 runway included track pants and a blazer. The juxtaposition of the sporty item on the bottom and the polished one on the top felt cool and inspired. Any type of top will do, but Miuccia Prada chose to pair them with printed scarf tops, which added to the fun.

Reshape a Sweater With a Brooch

All you need is a sweater and a brooch to employ the styling trick spotted on the Dries Van Noten runway. The jewelry piece adds interest and dresses up an outfit, but it also reworks a sweater by cinching it at the waist, crafting a cool neckline, or creating makeshift draping. Just be sure to choose a brooch that's large enough to handle the sweater's fabric.

With Paris Fashion Week wrapped, we can finally bid au revoir to fashion month for another season. And naturally, with fashion's best-dressed racking up their step count, we had to take a closer look at the best shoes on show, from chunky trainers to animal-print boots. But whilst I adored Iris Law’s affordable leather loafers and have plenty of time for the understated ballet flats spotted on Dakota Johnson, there was one footwear category that truly had a hold on the fashion crowd this season: heels.

Whilst the French are often known for their ballet flats, I was taken aback by the sheer number of chic heel trends outside the shows this season. Zendaya's choice of classic courts had us all talking in the office, as did the nostalgic colour-blocking favoured by Chloe Sevigny. And before you write off black heels as "boring", the arresting shape that a very leggy Saoirse Ronan cast outside the Louis Vuitton show was one to silence the critics. Curious to see how these celebs adopted the shoe trends that dominated Paris Fashion Week? Keep scrolling to see and shop the heel trends so good you may actually want to trade in your flats.

Three Heel Trends Celebs Wore in Paris This Season

1. White Heels

Style Notes: Whilst everyone else was totally taken with Zendaya's jeans, tank top and statement jacket at the Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2027 show, it was her fresh white heels that had my attention. Her ruffled jacket would indeed leave a lasting impression regardless of the shoe choice, but her pointed-toe stilettos proved why white court shoes are so classic. Sleek in silhouette yet surprisingly versatile, they add just the right amount of polish, pairing particularly well with wide-leg, low-waisted jeans.

2. Curved Heels

Style Notes: Undoubtedly the year of the sculptural silhouette, this fashion week saw curved heels popping up everywhere, including on the feet of everyone's favourite Little Women star, Saoirse Ronan. Playing with proportions and lengthening the leg, the subtle outward curve creates a dynamic shape, adding an unexpected dimension to her scalloped-hem miniskirt and colour-blocked red jumper. This directional finish adds just the right amount of playfulness without feeling try-hard. All I need now is calves like Saoirse, and I'm set.

3. Two-Tone Heels

Style Notes: In 1957, Gabrielle Chanel introduced the eternally iconic two-tone pump, and nearly 70 years later, the style still manages to exude an effortless sense of everyday elegance, especially on the feet of fashion darling Chloë Sevigny. Arriving at the Louis Vuitton dinner, she paired a puff-sleeve floral minidress with a pair of brown two-tone heels, striking the perfect balance between nostalgia and modern-day cool. The vintage feel added to the look's energy, but its polish is what made it impactful.

Jeans and a tank top are probably not the outfit combination that you think of first when Paris Fashion Week rolls around, but you'd be surprised at how many people rely on the basic pairing, be they models or A-list ambassadors. The former category almost exclusively wears tanks and jeans to castings and shows. Sure, it's not as common among celebrities, but there are some who aren't afraid to get casual in the front row. Case in point: Zendaya, who arrived at the Louis Vuitton show on the final day of Paris Fashion Week donning a cropped tank, low-rise jeans, and a few additions that turn the combination into a worthy ensemble for one of the fashion season's biggest shows.

The Odyssey actress, who doubles as an ambassador for the brand, paired her easy jeans-and-tank duo with white pumps and a Victorian-esque white jacket made entirely of delicate ruffled lace. As a result, she (with the help of longtime image architect Law Roach, who accompanied her to the show) created the Paris Fashion Week way to wear a tank with jeans. All you need is a statement jacket and a pair of white heels.

On Zendaya: Louis Vuitton jacket; Cartier rings and earrings

Any jacket will do, as long as it makes a statement, and Zendaya's absolutely did. Surprise! The jacket was actually a recycled piece from her Odyssey press tour. She wore it to the Paris premiere, though it looks almost unrecognizable when you see it in this other context. For that red carpet, it was styled with a matching lace gown with a large center cutout, and the dress was the star. Now, worn with a simple pair of low-slung, loose jeans and a cropped tank top, it takes over, immediately becoming the cornerstone of her look for the show.

To finish off her outfit, Zendaya added a slew of Cartier jewelry from the Trinity and Love Unlimited collections and, of course, her stunning engagement ring. Those accessories might be hard to re-create at home, but the rest of her Paris Fashion Week look—that you can certainly do yourself. Shop the necessary items below.

It's Miu Miu day in Paris! It's the morning of the spring/summer 2027 show, and internet fashion darling Steph Hui is in full preshow mode, swaddled in a fluffy hotel bathrobe. "Always," she says of her getting-ready uniform. Fueled by two hard-boiled eggs and a coffee (she saves the real meal for after the show), it's off to the races for the Hong Kong–born, New York–based creator. Hui has amassed a huge audience—a cool 2.2 million on TikTok and another 1.9 million on Instagram—for her playful sense of style, something that has made her a favorite follow. Today, that means dressing in a sheer layered number, polished buckle heels, and one very tactile handbag, all carrying the label.

As the industry's most reliable trendsetter, Miu Miu is easily one of the most coveted tickets on the Paris Fashion Week calendar, and Hui looks forward to the show the most. "The styling," she effuses, "that's the part that inspires me. Every season there are textures and layers I didn't expect." Each Miu Miu show arrives with its own conversation starter, and for Hui, getting dressed for this one meant experimenting with sheer layers, lingerie dressing, and a nostalgic early 2000s beauty look.

We caught up with her before she headed to the venue to talk all things Miu Miu and Paris Fashion Week. She shares the day's details, including her Princess Diaries–inspired headband, her faithful gym ritual, and the A$AP Rocky concert she managed to squeeze in between the week's shows. Read on for her getting-ready playbook.

What's the best part about attending the Miu Miu show that you've come to look forward to each season?

The styling. Every season there are textures and layers I didn't expect. That's the part that inspires me.

What are you most anticipating seeing from this Miu Miu collection?

Miu Miu is all about unexpected choices. I am waiting to see which classic Miuccia Prada twists this time and how far she takes it.

You walk into a Miu Miu boutique with an endless budget. What are the items you know you're ringing up?

A jacket, because of the cut. Miu Miu does that interesting proportion that turns a normal outfit into a look. And the Beau bag, it's a timeless small bag yet big enough to fit my whole life in it.

Are there any favorite Miu Miu pieces currently in your closet?

The second it gets chilly, I wear my Miu Miu Fleece Zippered Hoodie Jacket. I can actually live in it, as it's so warm and cozy.

Talk to me about your look for the show and what inspired it. Who or what are you channeling?

A sheer, light dress, layered; a headband; and a shearling pouch bag—this look immediately felt like The Princess Diaries: a little nostalgic, cute, and so me.

How does this look speak to you and your personal style? Is this in line with what you'd dress yourself in, or did you step outside of your comfort zone?

It was fun to try the headband because it's different from how I usually wear my hair. I loved experimenting for the show. The dress felt so unique, especially the mix of textures, and I got compliments on it all day.

What kind of beauty decisions are you making? What is the direction you're going in for your hair and makeup, and why did you choose these details to complement your look?

I always start with the outfit, then do hair and makeup to match it—a bold lip in the dress color, a natural skin base, and soft waves so the headband could stand out.

Do you have any preshow rituals or traditions?

If I have time, I go to the gym the night before or the morning of the show. It makes me feel strong, and it puts me back in my body before a long day.

What's playing in the speakers while you get ready? What song or artist is a must on your getting-ready playlist?

If it's a 10 a.m. show, I get ready in silence. For a night show, I recently played a lot of Don Toliver.

You're ordering room service while in the glam chair. What's in the order?

I am usually in such a rush when I wake up that I eat properly after the show. Before, it's two hard-boiled eggs and a coffee, just enough fuel for the show.

Hotel bathrobe or loungewear set while getting ready?

Hotel bathrobe. Always. I am in one right now.

What are some of the non-PFW-related things you'll be making a point of doing in between the shows and events?

Dinner with friends or by myself and a bit of shopping. This PFW, I even made it to the A$AP Rocky concert between shows. I felt grateful to experience that and to enjoy my life while working on what I love.

It's been one year since Matthieu Blazy's first collection as Chanel's artistic director debuted to the world, and it's safe to say that it's been the indisputable It brand ever since. Blazy has single-handedly transformed the brand while staying true to the heritage of the fashion house. While spring/summer 2027 represented the present and future of Chanel in many ways, Blazy's inspiration for the collection was the multifaceted life of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel. As the show notes state, "In the collection, the young Gabrielle becomes the various Chanel women she will be. They carry one within the other, a layered history of selves within a layered history of the clothing she wore. This is her personal fashion journey: from the strictures of Edwardian corsetry and tailoring she once assumed and rebelled against to her reconfigured, revolutionary ideas of suiting, slipped on and lightly sported."

The show's dramatic setting, staged at the Grand Palais at the tail end of Paris Fashion Week, featured white swallow birds and a moon suspended from the ceiling, a soundtrack that included Britney Spears, a whopping 83 looks, and, of course, a plethora of celebrities on the front row. Blazy's interpretation of Chanel has captured the fashion world's attention, which has led to a frenzy when each of his new collections becomes available. His creations for spring/summer 2027 will undoubtedly produce quite a few It items next year. Everyone wants to be a cool Chanel girl right now, and the future trends highlighted below will define what that looks like in 2027.

The A-List Attendees

Chanel always draws some of Paris Fashion Week's most famous faces. This season, mainstays such as Nicole Kidman, Dua Lipa, and Ayo Edebiri were joined by on-the-rise It girls such as Ella Rubin, all dressed in head-to-toe Blazy-designed looks.

Knee-Length Tweed Skirts

In 2027, the Chanel girl's skirts will be tweed, and the length will be to the knee. One low-slung tweed pencil skirt after another made its way down the runway, often paired with a matching jacket and a belt.

Eclectic Collarless Jackets

It's hard to think of Chanel without thinking of tweed jackets, and Blazy is modernizing them for 2027. Collarless, cropped, a bit boxy, and often embellished, the jackets that came down the runway were standouts. Let the wait lists begin.

Blazy-Era Flap Bags and Clutches

Blazy isn't one to stop at just a few bag styles. There were countless options on the models' arms, primarily Flap bags and clutches. Blazy excels at reinventing the classic Chanel bag via embellishment, crochet, pockets, and cool chain details, to name just a few of his design elements.

Ultra-Embellished Pumps

In keeping with the trend of opulence, which is quickly becoming one of this season's biggest trends, Blazy's footwear designs were ornately embellished with buttons, bows, and beads. There were too many future It shoes to name, but these pumps are strong contenders.

The Outfit-Making Accessories

Special finishing touches were plentiful among the Chanel S/S 27 looks, and there were some clear themes. Among them were bold logo earrings, in keeping with Gabrielle Chanel's love of costume jewelry. There were also feathered corsage brooches, which looked especially chic atop a tweed jacket, and in lieu of chain belts, leather belts were plentiful. The ultra-wide square-buckle styles were the most memorable.

And just like that, another fashion month draws to a close, ending with the appropriate level of couture-meets-casual that only Paris could deliver. Whilst New York, London and Milan experiment with eccentric maximalism and tried-and-tested minimalism, Paris sits confidently in the middle, knowing exactly how the French want to dress, and updating it slightly with each season to keep it feeling fresh.

Take, for example, Givenchy, Tom Ford, Balenciaga and newcomer Julie Kegels, where crisp shirts and jeans ruled supreme; or Lanvin, Carven and Gabriela Hearst, where whisper-light dresses swept down the runway. Remember the boxy, green utility jacket? Well, it's had a high-fashion makeover at the hands of Victoria Beckham, Hermès, Loewe and Isabel Marant, who all cropped the length and gave it pillowy volume, and then there was, of course, Chanel.

One of the closing shows of the season with a showcase at the Grand Palais, Blazy's star-studded event was full of the classic twin sets, knee skirts, and flap bags that make a collection immediately recognisable as Chanel, but the tutus? The "animal" tweed? The coat that can be folded back into a dress? Innovation is back in Paris, and we couldn't be more excited.

6 Trends from Paris Fashion Week Set to Define Spring/Summer 2027

1. Rococo-a-Go-Go

Style Notes: If you were to show 18th-century art references anywhere during fashion month, it had to be Paris, and right now we're at the beginning of a Rococo renaissance that France knows all too well. Leaning into the era’s love of excess, cinched waists, ruffles, lace, and watercolour florals were teamed with velvet, pearls and brocade—proof that for Acne Studios, Schiaparelli, Valentino and Vivienne Westwood at least, minimalism is taking a back seat to something far more playful.

Rather than feeling like a costume, though, this season’s version is all about styling decadent details with contemporary pieces to create a pretty-but-not-too-precious balance. (See Acne's military jacket and floral jeans as the perfect example). This is Marie Antoinette energy, but with a 2026 attitude.

2. Tutti-Frutti Pairings

Style Notes: A splash of lime here, a dose of grape there; pastels might be lovely for spring, but when it comes to the colour trends really getting people excited this fashion month, the heroes are fruity brights that are best worn stacked on top of each other. Across the runways, designers swapped "safe", tonal hues for bold combinations of lemon yellow, cobalt blue, tomato red and punchy pinks, proving that clashing shades can feel surprisingly polished when in the right hands (that means you, Sarah Burton, and that perfect baby-pink-and-magenta look at Givenchy).

The trick is to embrace the contrast rather than overthink it—try a bright blue shirt with a yellow pair of trousers, or a vivid red knit paired with an equally saturated skirt. After seasons of quiet luxury and beige, this joyful approach to dressing feels like the exact reset we needed.

3. Wedge of Glory

Style Notes: Shuffle over, slingbacks; there's a new kid on the block. Though, instead of "new", perhaps it's more the return of an old favourite. Chemena Kamali's tenure at Chloé has given us a lot of things, but quite notably the reinvention of the wedge from "dated" holiday sandal to luxurious, covetable accessory, and after her smash-hit shoe, designers are enthusiastically following suit.

Spotted in sleek, sculptural shapes at Casablanca, Elie Saab and Victoria Beckham, and in classic leather and wood at Vivienne Westwood (and of course, Chloé), the modern wedge feels surprisingly polished, and we're happy to see any shoe that gives you the height of a heel without sacrificing comfort. Whether you wear them with floaty blouses and jeans in spring, or airy minidresses next summer, the return of the wedge proves that practical doesn't have to mean predictable.

4. Glamour Goth

Style Notes: I know what you're thinking, and no, you haven't accidentally stumbled across an autumn/winter trend recap; dark, gothic glamour really can work for the sunnier months too. Taking a more romantic turn at Paris Fashion Week, witchy, all-black looks were less "punk" and more of an exploration of the tension between pretty and powerful. At Ann Demeulemeester, outfits layered with black lace, sheer fabrics and leather seemed to appear in the dark after 18 looks of head-to-toe white opened the show.

Over at Dior and Balmain, shredded hems and ruffles shifted between ethereal and distinctly rebellious, while see-through, lingerie-inspired boudoir black emerged as the easiest way to tap into the trend at Ester Manas. The key to making gothic feel fresh for 2027? Pretty things up. Leave the chunky boots and big coats to autumn/winter. For spring and summer, pair a romantic black dress with a sexy heel, dramatic jewellery and plenty of black eyeliner. Essentially, if it's arresting enough to cause a stir on a night out, you've nailed the brief.

5. Get Shirty

Style Notes: Sometimes you don't have to rewrite the rule book to get a seasonal piece that just works. The humble pinstripe shirt might not feel like something to write home about, but after appearing in just about every major show this season, its staying power is worth studying. With Paris Fashion Week proving classic shirts are anything but boring, from Dior's pinstripes with asymmetric collars tucked into tiered floral skirts to Tom Ford's contrast blazer styling, the runways offered a fresh spin on the preppy staple.

To keep stripes from drifting into nautical territory, try pairing them with bold colour à la Acne, or swapping out serious blues for something more unexpected like pink or brown. Easy, versatile and instantly elegant, the striped shirt might just be the fashion insider-approved basic worth investing in this season.

Shop the Trend:

6. Buckle Up

Style Notes: There it was, and only six looks in: the Celine show had opened to a relatively pared-back start, focusing on long black dresses and minimalist suits until a giant waist belt with a buckle the size of a dinner plate suddenly amped up the tone. We already knew that belts were having a major fashion moment (and once again Celine were the ones to kick-start the trend), but PFW took things one step further, making the real hero the buckle rather than the belt.

On shoes at Lanvin, bag straps at Acne, and open and loose at Courreges, oversized buckles brought a touch of Western-inspired attitude to otherwise polished looks, cinching everything from crisp shirting and relaxed denim to feminine minis. Not sold on the chunky hardware? You're going to want to Google Givenchy's compact powder belt; I'm convinced that even the biggest buckle sceptic will be charmed by such a playful approach to dressing up this season.

The street style we saw at Paris Fashion Week delivered a visual feast that rivals Brasserie Lipp's signature steak frites and Chez Janou’s famous chocolate mousse. As the final stop of the travelling fashion circus, one might think that the industry insiders and tastemakers who visit every style capital would’ve given up trying by now, arriving at shows in their definition of business casual in hotel-esque slippers from Charvet and oversized sunglasses that would swallow any signs of under-eye bags whole. On the contrary. Reaching the end of the line has seemed to give attendees a second wind, as big-name editors, starry clientele and all manner of celebrity guests cohabit in the City of Lights.

For the spring/summer 2027 season, a full calendar year on from countless new creative director debuts, the city found its rhythm as a hum of clacky stilettos hit the cobblestone pavements. Incumbent LVMH Prize winner, Belgian-born Julie Kegels, opened the week with an avant-garde collection of drop-crotch tan stockings and crystal-adorned nipple pasties. Dior was a true breath of fresh air, as Johnathan Anderson gathered the likes of Jennifer Lawrence and Rihanna at the Jardin des Tuileries for a show buoyed by lightness.

The mood immediately shifted to darkness as Anthony Vaccarello painted the Trocadéro Fountain black and gold. Proving his Midas touch at what is rumoured to be his final collection after a decade at the helm of the French maison, the designer illuminated the night sky with gilded silhouettes that crescendoed into a finale of funeral-inspired attire. Talk about mourning glory.

Off the runway, everywhere from the Grand Palais for Chanel to L’Observatoire de Paris for Chloé was saturated with the most outré offerings. From house ambassadors dressed in custom creations to influencers styling loaned pieces with items from their own wardrobes, the ensembles translated some of the most sophisticated trends into real-life appeal. So, without further ado, scroll through for the leading street-style trends that commanded Paris Fashion Week.

The 5 Key Street-Style Trends From Paris Fashion Week September 2026

1. Flat White

Style Notes: For a city revered for its Beaujolais and Syrah, the colour palette seen on the best-dressed this season is not compatible with sipping on a glass of red at a nearby café-tabac. From Kendall Jenner pairing a single-breasted white blazer with beige pants to Greta Lee wearing ballet slipper pink folded capris with a satin jacket and Karlie Kloss in a vanilla cape blouse with khaki jeans, the shades of this season are more attuned to café au lait. This carried through onto the runway too, from the opening looks of Matières Fécales' standout "The Ninety Nine Percent" collection to the muted mid-section in Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez’s latest show for Loewe.

Shop the Trend:

2. Ladies in Lace

Style Notes: Much has been said about the rise of "ladylike" dressing, especially with the reign of pencil skirts, white shirts and sleek heels. Of course, if this all sounds like something Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy would’ve worn to work at Calvin Klein, you’d be correct. However, as the street style at Paris Fashion Week indicated, the trend is moving out of the boardroom and into the boudoir, with romantic camisoles and delicate edges. A little less Christina Hendrix in Mad Men and a little more Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge! The lace-trim trend brings a romantic sensibility to even the most astute outfit, as Alexa Chung proved by pairing her butter-yellow singlet with sensible pinstripe trousers.

3. Night Prowler

Style Notes: As evening settles over the arrondissements, the scintillating twinkle of the Eiffel Tower sets the stage for a night of debauchery and decadence. For after-hours that begin and end with dirty martinis at Hôtel Costes, there is only one shoe suitable for keeping up with the revelry in store: sultry slingbacks. Endorsed this season by nearly everyone in the front row at Saint Laurent, including Zoë Kravitz, Lila Moss and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, this vampy iteration brings a seductive edge to a style that’s been a staple for French dressing since Coco Chanel designed the two-tone slingback in 1957.

Shop the Trend:

4. Shabby Chic

Style Notes: As the streets of Paris Fashion Week have indicated, a penchant for curated maximalism and eccentric bohemia has finally taken the place of quiet luxury. From the printed brocade fabrics of Dries Van Noten to the chunky intarsia jumpers of Chloé, the amalgamation of different aesthetics is something that would’ve been frowned upon a few years ago, but is now gladly welcomed into the fold. Proudly eclectic and slightly bric-a-brac, this shabby-chic style is shaping up to be one of the most defining trends of the season. Someone please call their granny and tell her she did it first!

Shop the Trend:

5. Friends in High Places

Style Notes: The higher the heel, the more you need to pair a sock with it. At least that’s what the street-style set at Paris Fashion Week demonstrated. With slight nods to the "indie sleaze" styling of pairing tights with denim shorts, unexpected hosiery layering is quickly becoming the mode du jour. And with twee making a comeback, we can easily see this paving the way for a resurgence of sweet lace-trim styles under Mary Janes. Plus, with winter on the horizon, who can fault you for wanting an extra layer?

Why Trust Us?

At Who What Wear UK, fashion is our speciality. Our editors have years of industry experience, from reporting on seasonal fashion trends seen at international fashion weeks to working with some of the most recognisable names in fashion. Every item we recommend is carefully selected based on current trends, quality and real-world wearability.

We regularly try on pieces ourselves—everything from best-selling jeans to designer shoes—and speak to external experts and fashion insiders, staying closely connected to what our readers are searching for. Our advice is grounded in expertise, and each and every buy we feature has to meet our exceptional taste standards—so you can feel confident in every recommendation.

If you count yourself amongst the fashion-obsessed, I’d hazard a guess that you've been keeping up with Paris Fashion Week this month. From Anthony Vaccarello's glittering, gold-drenched extravaganza at Saint Laurent to the fever-pitch levels of anticipation for the new accessories that will be showcased at the Grand Palais from Matthieu Blazy's Chanel, the city of lights really has well and truly sparkled this season.

But whilst we still have Isabel Marant’s pink dip-dye and Chloé's clogs-and-jeans combination at the forefront of our minds for spring/summer 2027, there's one item that hasn’t gone unnoticed by show-goers and models alike this season: trainers.

After falling relatively out of favour with fashion's most on-trend dressers, the trainer was sidelined for foot-cushioning flip-flops and French-coded ballet flats during the summer, but women in Paris were wearing them everywhere you looked over fashion week. You see, the staple shoe has what many of today’s "it" styles seem to lack: actual purpose. Practical enough for hopping on and off the Métro as you bop to shows and built to handle the inevitable additional step count, trainers strike that rare balance between fashion and function. And in 2026, what more could you ask for?

As we delve into the trends shaping autumn/ winter 2026, it's clear that trainers aren’t going anywhere fast; if anything, they’re settling in. The Lyst Index Q2 report makes one thing obvious: dressing like you’ve made the team (even when you haven’t) is in. In fact, certain styles jumped over 4000% in the quarter. If that's not convincing enough, may I direct you to the A/W 26 runways? With maximalism unashamedly back (and staying put for the foreseeable future), the new trainer silhouettes shadow precisely this.

Be it the thick, chunky-soled stompers at Balenciaga or the quietly showy styles at Miu Miu, the spectrum is wide. Even Shiatzy Chen leaned in, sending out calf-hugging, knee-high trainer-boot hybrids that made us sit up and take notice.

But don't panic; before you worry that I'm suggesting we'll all be wearing knee-high, lace-up sneaker-boots all winter, the styles the chicest dressers are backing this season aren't quite as out there as the runways may suggest. Instead, they strike that sweet spot between wearable and genuinely stylish, and they're infused with enough joy de vive to feel entirely at home in the capital. Plus, they'll all work with your autumn capsule-wardrobe staples of jeans, leggings, skirts and trousers.

It seems that Paris is no longer just flirting with function, but fully committing to it, and the five trainer trends below are how they’re doing it. Scroll to see and shop this season’s most popular trainer trends straight from Paris, and remember that you heard them here first.

5 Trainer Trends From PFW You'll Want to Wear All Year

1. Low-Profile Minimalist

Style Notes: Whilst it's true maximalism is very much "in", quiet luxury did provide us with a lasting legacy piece: the low-profile trainer. Stripped-back in silhouette and refreshingly unfussy in approach, this runner nails the holy trinity (function, style and most importantly, comfort) with ease. And with everyone from Dries Van Noten to Nike and Jacquemus creating pairs with cult followings, it's clear this trainer trend has staying power.

2. She Was a Sk8r Boi

Style Notes: If the trainers on your social media feeds have started to look like an Avril Lavigne "Sk8er Boi" fever dream, you’re not alone. In fact, the streets of Paris are filled with the once-considered "dated" style right now. Tapping into both the current wave of Y2K nostalgia, the style's chunky, low-profile skate silhouette has quickly fallen back into favour this autumn. A little undone and a whole lot of rebellious energy, their retro look pairs well with loose jeans, camo-print trousers and heritage plaid skirts everywhere in 2026.

3. Back to the Streets

Style Notes: This season, streetwear shoes found a home in Paris. Think Nike Shox or New Balance 1906s—designs that lean towards performance rather than polish. Their distinctly athletic shapes and tricked-out soles have made them some of the most highly coveted pairs in the trainer sphere, and they also tap into the casual, athleisure feel of cosy season.

4. Let's Get Technical

Style Notes: When comfort meets maximalism, you get gorpcore trainers: the original ugly shoe. Balancing high-performance, trail-ready details that don't try to be pretty with a distinctly technical finish, the key to making these feel more "fashion" lies in styling. To temper their utilitarian finish, think the opposite: a soft tulle skirt, relaxed denim or maybe a balloon trouser for contrast makes them feel less try-hard and more thrown together in the chicest way.

5. Return of the Stack

Style Notes: As we well know, fashion is cyclical, and what's "out" one season rarely stays that way for long. This is particularly true of the chunky trainer. If you're instantly transported back to the logo-heavy, thick-soled styles of the 2010s, you aren't far wrong. Leaning into the maximalist mood shaping current trends, these silhouettes aren't ashamed to be an acquired taste (it keeps them head and shoulders above the rest, after all). The soles are substantial but streamlined; the details are functional, not flashy, and they happen to look incredibly cool styled with leggings and a cropped bomber jacket.

Miu Miu continues to be one of the fashion industry's most highly influential brands, setting trends each season and even contributing to the overall mood of a season. Of course, we have Miuccia Prada to thank. The highly revered founder and creative director of Miu Miu is responsible for making the brand one of the most sought-after labels we have, and her spring/summer 2027 collection, which debuted yesterday during Paris Fashion Week, proves why.

There's always a clear aesthetic to a Miu Miu collection, and if we were to put a name to this one, it would be elegant athleisure. After the show, Prada discussed her intention this season: "To bring elegance to sports." And that she did. Her designs confirmed that athleisure is back, which makes sense given the growing connection between sports and fashion these days. The elegant twist Prada set out to infuse was apparent throughout the collection, in the form of checked blazers paired with lace-up track shorts, sports bras layered underneath crinkled taffeta dresses, and kilts paired with Miu Miu x New Balance sneakers (another iteration of the popular collaboration). There was also a collaboration with Wrangler, but more on that in a bit.

Scroll on to familiarize yourself with the sporty-elegant trends that made up the Miu Miu S/S 27 collection as well as a few of the famous faces that graced the front row. Lastly, I'd be remiss not to mention some of the famous faces that graced the runway: Gigi Hadid, Jamie Bell, Emma Corrin, and Olivia Colman, to name a few, continuing Prada's trend of innovative casting.

The Famous Front Row

Miu Miu always draws an It-girl crowd. From Alexa Chung in a striped cardigan and pencil skirt to Maude Apatow in relaxed suiting, the front row looked as cool as ever.

Lace-Up Details

In keeping with the sporty theme, Prada added board shorts–inspired lace-up details anywhere she could. There were lace-up jeans, kilts, taffeta dresses, and miniskirts. Speaking of jeans, the latest brand Miu Miu is partnering with for its upcycled designs is Wrangler. The jeans included in the collection were customized with crisscross lacing in lieu of a button or zip fly.

Sneakers With Kilts

Miu Miu's partnership with New Balance continues with the sportswear brand's RC150 racing sneakers, which were originally released in the late '90s. Cool color combinations and artfully tied laces are present and accounted for. Notably, the sneakers were frequently paired with knee-length kilts on the runway. New sneaker styling idea unlocked.

Track Shorts and Pants Made Elegant

It's only natural that track pants and shorts would play a major role in the sporty collection and that they would be styled in the chicest ways. The shorts were micro, the pants were low-rise, and all were paired with cool outerwear, preppy layers, and crop tops.

The Retro Influence

When it comes to prints, all were unapologetically retro, which fit right in with the '70s vibe throughout the collection. For those who love wearing retro prints, there will be many Miu Miu pieces to choose from, including babydoll dresses, blazers, scarf dresses, and half-zip pullovers.

Sports Bras Take Center Stage

If any brand can make sports bras elegant, it's Miu Miu. Some were worn as tops, many were layered, and some were embellished. Every look that included one will make you rethink the humble sports bra.

The Color and Accessories Trends

When the show attendees entered the show's venue, Paris's historic Palais d'Iéna, and saw that the runway was purple, it was a safe bet that they were in for a colorful show. In addition to grape, there was carnation pink, bold orange, cobalt, chartreuse, red, and marigold, often in satin and taffeta.

Miu Miu is known for excelling in the accessories department, and there were plenty to look forward to. Snakeskin clutches, messenger bags, and oversize leather bowling bags were standouts. On the models' feet were intentionally worn loafers, buckled thong sandals, and snakeskin pumps with sneaker laces. Sunglasses were bug-eye frames infused with cat-eye shapes, and earrings were vintage-inspired jewel-toned clusters.

Accessories

Paris Fashion Week is more than a showcase of the newest collections from designers such as Saint Laurent, Dior, The Row, and Celine. It's also a runway that spills onto the streets. As editors, buyers, celebrities, and fashion insiders move from show to show, the city fills with the most stylish ensembles. Every outfit captures that unmistakable Parisian blend of polish, elegance, confidence, and just the right amount of nonchalance.

For spring/summer 2027 fashion week, attendees brought their street style A-game, focusing on true style that isn't about following trends. Highlights included wearing a car coat as a dress and pairing it with classic pumps, juxtaposing a leather bomber jacket with tailored trousers, and intentionally clashing prints across a button-down shirt, pants, and heels. Though these ensembles were designed for packed days of shows and meetings, they still felt wearable for everyday life, offering all the inspiration one needs to get dressed this fall.

Last March, Pieter Mulier bid farewell to Alaïa, the house he sat at the helm of for five years. It was a bittersweet goodbye, as the Belgian designer revitalized the brand in a handful of ways, including debuting It items like the Le Teckel and fishnet Mary Jane flats. At the same time, the news of his exit made way for his new role as the creative director of Versace to be announced. What would happen to Alaïa? That was a mystery, and in some ways, it remains that way. With the spring/summer 2027 collection's debut on Saturday, any worries the fashion community had about the house's future were quelled. The design team has it covered, with Boaz Eli, Alaïa's ready-to-wear design director, leading the charge.

The show took place at the same location Mulier's swan song did: the former Fondation Cartier building on the Boulevard Raspail in Paris. There, editors stood casually as models navigated the space, which was decorated with projections playing on the walls. The collection felt very Alaïa, taking cues from the house's codes that founder Azzedine Alaïa developed. It may not have been the spectacle that Mulier's shows were (think Kendall Jenner traversing the spiral at the Guggenheim Museum on New York City's Upper East Side at the spring/summer 2025 show while Rihanna watched), but it felt special for other reasons. It was an ode to the brand's history and future, and it assured attendees that everything at Alaïa would be just fine—great even.

Alaïa Spring/Summer 2027

Alaïa Without Pieter Mulier

For five years, the fashion community feasted on Mulier's Alaïa. When the designer—whose career includes a decades-long tenure as the head designer at Raf Simons, four years as the accessories director at Jil Sander, four years as design director at Christian Dior, and two years as the creative director at Calvin Klein—announced his exit from the brand at the beginning of the year, hearts broke. They shattered when he showed his final collection for the house a few months later. Now, it seems, everyone's on the mend, with Eli unofficially taking the reins, at least for now.

The Design Team Steps Up

The brand has yet to announce Mulier's replacement, but rumors have begun swirling that Eli could be next in line. He's been at the company for two years now, and before Alaïa, he was the design director at Burberry under Daniel Lee for a year. Before that, he spent six years working under Jonathan Anderson at Loewe as a senior designer. This was his chance to really show himself, and the overwhelmingly positive reviews coming out of Paris following the spring/summer 2027 show make a strong case for his promotion.

But he didn't do it alone. Eli led a design team that worked under Mulier for years, and it shows. They know the brand exceptionally well, taking cues from Mulier's tenure as well as Azzedine Alaïa's. The collection, as a result, felt undeniably Alaïa. In a world that often feels like musical chairs, this showing was a breath of fresh air. No one designer's distinct POV stood out, but instead, the brand was the star of the show.

Very Azzedine

Did you spot the built-in bustiers? The body-hugging jersey silhouettes? The perfect little black dress? Plus, there were plenty of ruffles to go around. Azzedine Alaïa always put the woman wearing his designs first, crafting pieces that accentuated her natural shape, and that's exactly what we saw at Saturday's show. An olive-green dress was tailored to fit like a glove. Draping was used to give volume and a hint of drama to the model's hips without any uncomfortable padding or unnecessary additions. The collection was simple, structured, and strong.

Jewel Toned

Though the spring/summer 2027 collection primarily featured a muted palette, the colors that were featured were all jewel tones, another nod to Azzedine Alaïa. Whereas Mulier often played with bright and pastel hues, the design team mostly stuck with rich shades of merlot, olive, and eggplant. Others, like sapphire and fuchsia, were also seen in the collection. By opting for these colors, the collection as a whole had a very elevated, sophisticated look to it and an ease of versatility that customers will surely appreciate come spring.

A Trend Forms

It started at Prada. Models at the spring/summer 2027 show donned bra tops with Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons's many skirt iterations. In the days that followed, the fashion community brought the styling concept to the streets of New York, Paris, Milan, and more stylish cities, sharing their looks online for the world to see and save for later inspiration. Now, the technique continues at Alaïa, with one model debuting a pastel-pink look with a wrap bra and an asymmetric skirt adorned with delicate ruffles. One collection doesn't make a trend, but two do. The 2027 way to wear a skirt has arrived.

Usually during Fashion Month, I'm inundated with photos of every look from every angle thanks to my heavily curated Instagram feed. What can I say? It knows what I want to see. The only exception is The Row, a brand with a strict no-phones policy at shows, meaning that I have to wait, like everyone else who wasn't on-site in Paris, to see the latest creations by Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen. It's always worth it, though, and the co-founders ensured that summer 2027 wasn't an exception to that rule. Refined but not boring, effortless but intentional—The Row's summer 2027 show was a masterclass in dressing like the exact person you've always wanted to dress like.

The first time I looked through the runway photos The Row released on their site post-show, I immediately pulled out a handful of outfit formulas that I know will become go-tos in the coming weeks and months in the lead-up to the collection's release next year. An embroidered white maxi skirt paired with a drapey, low-V top, for one, is a no-brainer to copy with either pieces you already own or replacements on the market right now. A layered sweater and button-down shirt, styled alongside a sheer, embroidered knee-length skirt, is another instant classic for dressers to recreate.

For more easy outfit formulas inspired by The Row's summer 2027 show, keep scrolling.

The Row–Inspired Outfit Formulas

1. Button-Down Shirt + Crewneck Sweater + Sheer Skirt

The juxtaposition of the almost corporate nature of this sweater-and-shirt combination on top and the sheer, embroidered skirt's playful elements make for just the right level of weird needed to create a viral outfit.

2. Layered Basics + Black Trousers + Flat Sandals

Put away your boring white T-shirts and invest in a layered option (or create one yourself with a tee and tank) that will make even your simplest of outfits feel interesting and stylized.

3. White Henley Shirt + Matching Knee-Length Skirt + Tote Bag

An all-white set, while dangerous around red wine, will always be worth the risk. It's elegant and sophisticated but also casual in a way that the same pairing in black wouldn't be.

4. Black Button-Down Shirt + Matching Knee-Length Skirt

The key to this look is to find a cool black skirt with some sort of unique embroidery or patterned belting on it. Dries Van Noten is always a smart choice, but there are plenty of options out there to choose from. Up top, go with any simple black poplin shirt. You really can't go wrong.

5. Low-V Top + Textured Maxi Skirt + Sporty Sandals

The wrong-shoe theory returned at The Row's show with these sporty thong sandals being styled alongside a quite formal, polished ensemble. Somehow, it still worked, and it'll work for you at home if you invest in Jamie Haller's String Theory sandals. They're sleek but still sporty—a perfect option for recreating this outfit.

6. Fringe Top + Straight-Leg Trousers

I can guarantee that this look will be heavily circulated online now that photos of the summer 2027 collection are available to peruse. The fringe top makes a strong statement while the easy, tailored trousers dress it down to create a zero-effort look that packs a lot of punch.

7. Embroidered Shawl + Car Coat + Cigarette Pants + Kitten-Heel Mules

Leave it to The Row to turn a simple car coat and trousers look into a fresh new classic for fashion people to copy again and again. All you need is some sort of embroidered cape, scarf, or shawl to tie around your shoulders on top of a knee-length trench. Our pick? Beaufille's Phoebe Wrap. You can also wear it as a skirt, a top, or really anything if you set your mind to it.

Yesterday morning, the fashion community, not to mention stars like Sarah Pidgeon and Lola Tung, met in Paris to feast their eyes on the latest from Pierpaolo Piccioli's Balenciaga. For the House's Summer 2027 collection—titled Les Coraux de la Liberté after an art piece from 2025 by French artist Aude Franjou—Piccioli focused on Balenciaga's roots as a couture house. "It is a personal exploration and investigation of couture as a working methodology, but also an ideology; a mindset for modern creation that can infiltrate the culture of a fashion house," the show notes stated. In those notes, the brand shared an intention for this collection to be experienced as a continuation of the 55th Balenciaga Couture Collection, rather than separate entities, as many ready-to-wear and couture collections are treated.

To bring this to life, basic T-shirts and jeans were crafted using couture techniques, something Piccioli's done before during his storied tenure at Valentino. "Rather than something unobtainable, [couture] functions as a dynamic engine to drive the House, a systematic manner to reshape everyday garments," the notes continued. In a way, he was able to democratize one of the most exclusive aspects of fashion—an area that only a brand's most important, top-spending clients can afford to experience. Perhaps owning a piece from a Balenciaga couture collection is a far-off dream, but a Summer 2027 shirt or handbag can be saved up for. It's achievable.

Balenciaga Spring Summer 2027 Show

The Humanity of Couture

"A trace of humanity can be found in every garment—a quality that defines them, as Balenciaga," the show notes read. It's a powerful sentiment. Couture is all about attention to detail and human skill, with each stitch sewn by hand and a strict set of rules in place. To further emphasize this season's focus on human intervention, bias cutting and pliant materials were utilized by Piccioli and his team of master creators. "The body and hand are at the core throughout," said the show notes. "Women’s and men’s shoes are pliant, malleable, soft against the foot: the Wave Thong Sandal, a flat in toile canvas, the heeled Dahlia Mule, and the new unstructured Lounge Sneaker."

New Bag Alert

A new It bag has arrived, and its slouchy shape feels like a breath of fresh air given how similar so many of today's popular handbag styles are. Balenciaga has named its just-debuted hobo bag the Nodo, which means knot in Italian. "Bags such as the Nodo or Silhou Tote are supple, executed in leather, shaped and draped by hand," the show notes describe the bag, as well as another new silhouette called the Silhou Tote. Like the rest of the Summer 2027 collection, the Nodo was designed using couture techniques, making it even more special and worth saving up for.

Anti-Basic Basics

There are basics, and then there are Balenciaga basics crafted using couture techniques from one of the haute couture industry's finest houses. In other words, these aren't just any T-shirts and jeans. "A wardrobe of prototypical ready-to-wear garments—denim jeans, shirts, T-shirts, bombers, accessories—are redefined through studies of cut and construction, and their proximity to the hand," the brand wrote in the show notes for Summer 2027. "Pieces begin their life in the House’s ateliers, using processes of draping and forming to determine their architecture. Through superlative cut and construction—human intervention—we can change the language of the known."

That Leather Jacket

On the streets outside the show, and in its front row, one item reigned supreme: Balenciaga's fall/winter 2026 brown leather jackets in all their many variations. The same rich shade of brown leather featured peplum waistbands, oversized shawl collars, and cropped hemlines, with each alternative being worn by various It girls in attendance, from Sarah Pidgeon to Shailene Woodley. Kaya Scodelario and Lori Harvey also wore the jacket trend.

Orange For Spring?

If purple was the color of 2026, orange is already shaping up to be its replacement once 2027 arrives. There were signs before the Balenciaga show, but the color's prevalence in the brand's latest collection made it a sure thing. From cummerbund-adjacent miniskirts with long trains and handbags to formal gowns and knit sets—there was certainly no shortage of orange styles to choose from.

Schiaparelli has a longstanding reputation for being one of the most avant-garde, subversive designer brands on the Paris Fashion Week schedule. While that isn't changing, there was a new element present in the iconic fashion house's S/S 27 collection: wearability.

While practically works of art, the Schiaparelli looks that you see on Nicole Kidman, Dua Lipa, Zendaya, and Kylie Jenner on the red carpet probably aren't going to be all that wearable on someone without those levels of fame. And that's perfectly fine—each fashion house serves a different purpose, and Schiaparelli doesn't mass-produce the pieces you see on the runway each season. But this collection made it clear that creative director Daniel Roseberry decided to take things in a slightly different direction. It felt a bit softer and less surreal, without straying from the sense of drama that Elsa Schiaparelli established when she created her namesake brand. Roseberry gave an idea of his intentions, writing in the show notes, "As fashion designers, we become so attached to our vision that we spend less time thinking about the person who’ll ultimately wear it. The beauty of making such extraordinary clothes for such a limited number of stores is that that gap doesn’t exist: what we show is what we produce is what is purchased is what is worn. We don’t have a “commercial” collection. These are the clothes. The vision is complete when you put them on your back."

Schiaparelli has long been known for eveningwear, so it makes sense that Roseberry established several 2027 trends in that category from the runway staged in the basement of the Carrousel du Louvre at PFW yesterday. High-profile guests such as Tate McRae, Law Roach, and Peggy Gou took in the elegantly seductive collection from the front row. Scroll on to get to know the eveningwear trends the industry is buzzing about post-show.

The Return of Low Necklines

The most alluring eveningwear has long been synonymous with plunging necklines, and Schiaparelli's S/S 27 collection is an excellent indicator of the return of the silhouette. It's worth noting that each of the low necklines was unique, with some in the form of sculptural asymmetrical shapes, others with gathered fabric held in place by gold hardware, and others melding with an off-the-shoulder design.

Sculptural Ruffles

I recently highlighted sculptural ruffles as one of the biggest trends of the NYFW S/S 27 runways, and Roseberry appears to agree. The trend is in perfect step with Schiaparelli's artistic, theatrical aesthetic.

Embroidered Jackets Are Here to Stay

Using archival embroideries for a handful of ornate fitted jackets, Roseberry paid homage to Elsa Schiaparelli with the final looks of the collection. I'll take this as proof that the brocade, jacquard, and embroidered jackets that have become one of F/W 26's biggest trends will continue into next year.

Shorts of Every Length

Several shorts trends were present and accounted for, from micro to bermuda lengths. But casual looks these were not. The shorts of Schiaparelli S/S 27 were elegant and event-worthy, fitting right in with the dresses and satin trousers they were shown alongside.

Jewelry-Like Details

It wouldn't be a Schiaparelli collection without numerous touches of gold hardware throughout. It was spotted in the form of an accent on waist-defining draping, as a ring closure to tops and dresses, and even as jewelry-like nipple covers.

Sandwiched between the large-scale show productions of Paris Fashion Week, The Row staged a runway for its summer 2027 collection that was, in keeping with the brand's traditions, intimate and largely under wraps. There were the usual elements: plush carpeting, soft Parisian lighting, and of course, the custom treats handed out to showgoers that the label has become known for—this season that meant a sachet of mints.

Now that images have been published, we're finally able to dive into the offering. Filled with all the savvy and carefully studied features that always delight us about The Row, the collection was also notably more eclectic and bohemian. Workhorse staples like trousers and blazers lived side by side with crochet, fringe, and beaded items in many looks, becoming both aspirational and inspirational at once. Summer 2027 also continues with the move away from hyperminimalism, with many looks featuring notably more color and texture than The Row is historically known to offer.

From new suiting silhouettes to the expert deployment of crochet fabrics, these are the key elements that every fashion person will look to emulate. Here, we're unpacking the summer 2027 collection's top-level takeaways and the potential new It items to know.

Modern Bohemia

Over the last few seasons, The Row has been stepping away from its signature stark aesthetic in favor of more opulence and whimsy, and summer 2027 marks an even bigger departure. With this show, they seemed to declare hyperminimalism all but deceased. Instead, what ensued was a series of looks that incorporated texture like fringe, crochet, and beading for a rising new direction we're calling modern bohemia. The key way to style it, according to this runway? An intricate top. Plain trousers and simple sandals were the outfit bases that let these one-of-a-kind pieces lap up all the attention.

All About Texture

If the arrival of opulent textures like feathers and sequins took The Row into a new era of maximalism last season, the summer 2027 collection was an evolution of where their unique take on craft is heading. For the warmer seasons, the answer was a series of looks that incorporated crochet and lace texture—whether it was a delicate tank layered over a solid long-sleeve, a lace shawl worn atop a trench coat, or a full crochet dress.

It-Item Potential: Canvas Totes

It wouldn't be a report on The Row runway if we weren't zooming in on the accessories. The shoes and bags tend to be on the fast track for It-item status, and this season, it was the canvas totes that captured our attention. The quotidian, almost downright "boring" bags stand to become one of fashion's most sought-after styles next season if the The Row has anything to say about it.

Necklace Layering

It wasn't just that many of the models' outfits were finished with a string (or several) of colored beads but that these necklaces arrived obscured by the clothing itself. Whether that meant layered underneath a sheer top or peeking out from a semi-unbuttoned shirt, there's a new styling idea to know with jewelry—but particularly necklaces.

New Suiting Silhouettes

Slouchy, relaxed looks, once the calling card of the brand's ready-to-wear, were all but absent on this runway, where the tailoring was decidedly more slim-fitted. Cigarette trousers and cinched-waist jackets were the heroes of The Row's fall lineup, and it indicates a larger shift that we've been taking note of across the runways this season. The close cuts and precise tailoring of the late '90s are officially back.
