Introducing “Word on the Street,” a seasonal street style report tracking the standout looks, emerging trends, and defining fashion moments across the world’s major fashion capitals. Featuring a panel of plugged-in fashion industry voices on the ground at the major shows, the series offers an expert read on the season’s most compelling style movements and a sharper picture of what’s moving beyond the runway and into real life.

After a month of covering fashion week from attending New York to dialing in to write about Paris, I always leave September with street style moments glued to my brain and a running list of what the best-dressed showgoers kept reaching for. Some of it surprised me...did anyone see cummerbunds with jeans coming? And some of it was a reminder that a great white shirt still wins every time. The best street style trends are the ones that make you rethink pieces you already own, and this season offered plenty of inspiration.

In the past few seasons, we've seen a return of what we are calling an ode to personal style. This fashion month, many of the street style trends we saw were the finishing touch that makes an outfit feel exceptionally 2026. That final outfit-making piece that separates someone from being a fashion show goer as opposed to just another stylish Parisian. That common theme made the trends we're rounding up below even more exciting to comb through.

To figure out which looks actually have staying power, we teamed up with Lyst to find out where the shopping data matched the trends we saw on the streets. because while a trend might catch our eye on the street, the real test is whether shoppers are paying attention, too. Then, we asked a panel of industry insiders for their read on the season. They told us all of the details on the trends that they saw at every fashion week they attended. The best street style trends Ahead, the seven trends that caught our eye, earned their place in the data, and have the industry insiders talking.

To help us sort out what’s worth trying from what’s best left on the sidewalk, we asked four industry experts who saw fashion month up close to weigh in. April Hennig, president of Moda Operandi, sat in on the shows and came back with plenty of opinions. Darrel Hunter is the street style photographer to know, and he spent fashion week on the ground capturing the best moments for @modehunter. Kristen Nichols, associate director of special projects at Who What Wear, was at the shows and saw it all. Rounding out the panel is Jalil Johnson, writer of the Substack newsletter Consider Yourself Cultured, who test-drives new trends for a living and knows exactly what’s catching on with real people.

If you attended any of the fashion weeks this season, you couldn’t head out for a show without noticing someone wearing a cummerbund over unpredictable wardrobe staples. It’s rare that you would think to style a cummerbund over a slouchy knit or a crisp shirt and jeans but the fashion crowd was doing it. “The cummerbund is the hot accessory of the moment, and during NYFW, I saw at least three a day,” says Jhonson, and Lyst backs him up, with demand jumping 65% from August to September thanks to Dries van Noten, Giorgio Armani, and Valentino. Nichols spotted it on the F/W 26 runways at The Row and Celine, adding, “It was also in the spring/summer 2027 collections of Kallmeyer and Polo Ralph Lauren, so we know it has staying power.”

Think romantic, slightly undone, Sunday afternoon in Paris. These days, just one flower pinned to a lapel changes the whole outfit. “There’s something wonderfully romantic and slightly nostalgic about it, but what makes it feel modern is the way women are styling it—pinned to an oversized blazer, a simple knit, or even at the waist,” says Hennig. As for why now, Johnson says, “I think the interest in floral brooches in particular is part of the Blazy Effect,” referencing Chanel’s recent show led by Creative Director Mathiu Blazy that playfully finished a few of the looks with a floral detail in the form of a brooch.

Cue crisp morning walks, a coffee in hand, and a flannel thrown over everything, or as Jhonson puts it, “Lumberjack cosplay!” Lyst demand for plaid and checked shirts is up 38% month over month and 60% quarter over quarter, with Burberry and Ralph Lauren behind the spike, and Hunter has a name for the look: “Luxury lumberjacks.” “A plaid shirt is a hero shopping item for fall 2026, and the street style scene only proved that further,” says Nichols.

This is the low-key, everything-goes-with-everything wardrobe that makes a 9 a.m. meeting and a 7 p.m. dinner feel like the same easy decision. “For the last several seasons, the style set has been investing in great basics,” says Nichols, while Hunter points to one standout pairing: “A tank top with the Versace skirt with the faces just works so well.” Jhonson sees it less as a trend and more as a constant, noting, “The essential elements of a great white T-shirt or button-down and jeans will never go out of style.”

Picture a plain white shirt, great trousers, and one necklace bold enough that nobody remembers anything else. “For the past few seasons, some clothes have felt simply too rudimentary,” says Jhonson, and Lyst’s numbers back him up, with demand for statement necklaces up 15% quarter over quarter. “A bold necklace against a simple white shirt or a great knit can become the entire point of the outfit,” says Hennig.

There’s a playful, slightly art-school energy to a flash of red sock between a loafer and a cropped trouser, and the street style set leaned all the way in. “Red was the color and the socks definitely captured attention,” says Hunter, and Lyst saw demand for colorful socks jump 62% quarter over quarter, while jazz shoes rose 72% (“Jazz shoes were literally everywhere. They’re a pair of shoes that certainly make for the perfect pairing to a statement sock. Thank you, Michael Rider!” says Johnson). He also has a theory on why: “Perhaps this goes hand in hand with the renewed focus on shoes, which are supposedly a recession indicator.”

The knit polo has the easy, members-only charm of a weekend in the Cotswolds, and it works just as well with a midi skirt as with your oldest jeans. “Preppy dressing is in full swing,” says Nichols, and Lyst agrees, with demand for knit polos up 14% quarter over quarter, led by Massimo Dutti, Ralph Lauren, and Tommy Hilfiger. Hennig says it “has the ease of a T-shirt but feels infinitely more considered,” while Hunter noticed “a lot of polos incorporated into creative layering.”

For spring/summer 2027, individuality returned to the fashion conversation. Coming off of fashion month, designers are turning up the dial on personal expression with collections that feel about cultivating a point of view. The shift began to take shape last season, when modern heirloom pieces and hand-crafted details signaled a revived appetite for pieces that feel special, considered, and worth collecting. Now, that impulse has evolved into something more: a desire to make a look distinctly your own.

Across the runways, that spirit of individuality took myriad forms, from ornate jackets and opulent embellishments to unexpected print combinations that felt instinctive rather than carefully coordinated. After seasons of pared-back clothing, designers are ready to have fun with fashion again, trading some of minimalism's restraint for a more maximalist, personality-driven approach to getting dressed. Off the runway, the fashion set is embracing self-expression, already offering a glimpse of what this new mood looks like in practice.

At its heart, the season was a celebration of fashion's human qualities: the hand of the artisan, the art of finding a singular piece, the unique styling that reveals an individual eye. In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms and AI, the most compelling collections offered a sense of soul. What emerged was a desire for clothes with character, chosen and combined with a collector's instinct rather than prescribed by a single aesthetic. The season's biggest trends, then, are not simply about what to wear next. They're about how to wear clothes and how to make them your own. Ahead, see nine spring/summer 2027 trends that capture fashion's renewed appreciation for craftsmanship, individuality, and the art of making a look your own.

Spring/Summer 2027 Trends

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Fashion is ready to let its playful side shine. For spring 2027, designers embraced the kind of personality-driven dressing that feels instinctive, individual, and, above all, fun. At Burberry, Celine, Chanel, and Loewe, flower embellishments transformed jackets and dresses into miniature works of art, and tactile details and ornate finishes lent each piece a sense of whimsy. Color, too, took on a more spirited character, with Tory Burch and Valentino exploring unexpected hues and unpredictable shade pairings. The season is about embracing the eccentric and trusting your instincts.

By Hand

Craft continues to play a prominent role in 2020s fashion, with expectations rising just as quickly as prices are. If a jacket is going to cost over $1000, it better be made by hand with couture-adjacent attention to detail that's not hidden behind immaculate stitchwork. Today, designers are leaning into a more obvious display of craftsmanship, and brands such as Chloé, Heirlome, Khaite, Bottega Veneta, and The Row showed intricate pieces for spring/summer 2027, from open-work blouses to crochet skirts. More and more, designers are catching on: For today's high prices, designer clothing should look and feel special, like a one-of-a-kind heirloom designed to be passed down from generation to generation.

Season of the Skirt

For spring 2027, the skirt emerged as fashion's most versatile canvas. At Prada, Miuccia Prada returned to the garment's essential simplicity, famously describing the skirt as being like a T-shirt: a universal piece that can accommodate endless design experiments and seasonal ideas. It's a deceptively simple proposition that speaks to the collection's broader interest in the possibilities of everyday dressing. Designers across the season—Khaite, Jil Sander, and Altuzarra, to name a few—made a compelling case for the piece as a wardrobe cornerstone, reinforcing its place in the modern woman's rotation. The appeal lies in its adaptability. Worn with a crisp shirt, a relaxed knit, or an unexpected evening top, the skirt offers an opportunity to build a look around personal taste rather than a prescribed formula. It's the foundational piece that will ground self-expressive dressing next year.

The Clash

There are clashing colors and patterns, and then there's whatever it was that fashion's top brands displayed on the runways for spring 2027. It wasn't for the faint of heart—that's for sure—but somehow, the "so wrong it's right" pairings managed to click in a way that felt stylish, not contrived. At Chanel, three mismatched prints and seven colors made up one of the most talked-about looks from the show, and at Prada, a clashing set of loud floral patterns made people rethink the print, giving it a cool factor for the year ahead. Dries Van Noten, Burberry, and Celine, too, avoided holding back, releasing any reservations about clashing once and for all.

Gilded Age

Gold had a prominent role on the runways, lending unabashed glamour to the season. In a particularly striking statement, Anthony Vaccarello's final show for Saint Laurent after a decade at the house was rendered almost entirely in golden looks, defining the collection in dramatic, after-dark opulence. Elsewhere, Ralph Lauren, Dries Van Noten, and Fforme each explored metallics. Whether worked into fluid silhouettes or used to bring a luminous finish to structured pieces, the shade offered a sense of occasion.

Brassière

No shirt, no problem—at least, that's what designers appeared to state through their spring collections, delivering look after look with bras as the only top option. Blouses, you're out. Just wear whatever's underneath, especially if your skirt is Prada. The spring 2027 way to wear a bra top kicked off at Khaite, with Kaia Gerber opening the show in a white cone bra paired with a leather column skirt. Then Prada happened, and styling a bra top with a printed knee-length skirt became the talk of fashion month. More examples appeared at Tom Ford and Givenchy in Paris, only garnering momentum for the no-top movement.

Marine Layer

A few colors made rather significant splashes on the runways. Purple continues to be the obvious one, followed by primary colors, as well as orange, pink, and cobalt. But we've talked about all of those too many times to count and would much rather spotlight a range of hues that's far less publicly discussed. Call it seafoam, aqua, or mint—really, it's all of the above. Any shade you'd find near the coast falls under spring's "marine layer" color trend, with Chanel, Dior, Ralph Lauren, and Valentino all selecting hues that conjure up the smell of saltwater and the feeling of sand between your toes. Each brand approached them differently aesthetically, using paillettes, sheer fabrics, ombré materials, and delicate drapes to tell their own color stories.

Airing Things Out

As much as excess and exaggeration dominated this season, so did a lighter look punctuated by airy materials in soft shades of pink, yellow, and green. Tail-like hemlines flowed behind models as they walked at Chanel, Balenciaga, and Ralph Lauren, and Jonathan Anderson took a tailored approach, debuting skirt suits at Dior that felt far more delicate than the "office siren" versions we've grown accustomed to seeing on the runway. Combined, these chiffon creations added gentleness to the spring 2027 collections that perfectly balanced out the grandeur displayed elsewhere throughout fashion month.

The Evening Jacket

Designers brought a sense of ceremony to tailored outer layers, elevating them with intricate craftsmanship and luxurious fabrics. At Kallmeyer, a white beaded jacket was paired with casual jeans, striking a particularly appealing balance between polish and ease. Ralph Lauren offered a different take with its patterned fil coupé jacket, where the richness of the fabric lent texture and dimension to a classic silhouette. At Schiaparelli, a chartreuse velvet jacket drawn from the archives underscored fashion's enduring fascination with pieces that carry a sense of history and artistry. These are jackets that feel collected rather than simply purchased, their hand-finished details giving them individuality that mass-produced occasionwear often lacks. The styling lesson is equally appealing: Wear them with denim, pared-back trousers, or even the simplest skirt, and let the jacket remain the focal piece.

If there's one thing the spring/summer 2027 runways made abundantly clear, it's that fashion is officially done keeping its underwear under wraps. After seasons of sheer fabrics, exposed lingerie, and the occasional flash of a bra strap, designers are taking the idea of underwear as outerwear one step further. This time, the bra isn't just part of the outfit—it's the entire point.

Across New York, Milan, and Paris, the humble underpinning received a glamorous promotion. At Prada, Tom Ford, and Fendi, delicate bralettes and lace-trimmed styles took the place of traditional tops, and LaQuan Smith, Simone Rocha, and Miu Miu made a case for decorative iterations. Even the sports bra got the high-fashion treatment, courtesy of Miuccia Prada, who sent Gigi Hadid down the Miu Miu runway in a sporty bra and embellished skirt to close the show. Consider it the ultimate high-low styling lesson.

What makes this season's take particularly interesting, though, is how little it relies on shock value. Rather than treating exposed lingerie as an overtly provocative statement, designers approached the bra as another wardrobe building block, styling it beneath undone button-downs, tailored blazers, and oversize jackets at the likes of Christian Dior, Givenchy, and Ester Manas. The result felt less like getting dressed for a night out and more like a reconsideration of what getting dressed looks like in the first place.

If the runways are any indication, fashion's best dressed will be trading their usual tanks and tees for barely-there bralettes paired with voluminous trousers, pencil skirts, and sharp tailoring come spring. Sorry, shirts, it was nice knowing you.

During fashion month, there are many highly anticipated shows from luxury houses, whether you're waiting with bated breath to see what's next in Miuccia Prada's Miu Miu world or Matthieu Blazy's reimagining of Chanel. On the other end of the spectrum, there are the emerging designers, who bring a different energy to the fashion month calendar. Perhaps they're newly out of fashion school at Central Saint Martins, making their London Fashion Week debut, or already a name that's quickly become a fixture at New York Fashion Week over the past few seasons and is on the cusp of no longer being emerging. These are the shows I find myself getting equally as excited for.

For fall/winter 2026, I wrote about the emerging designers' collections that I loved across cities, and I'm back for a second edition for spring/summer 2027. Ahead, take a look at the designers, from Copenhagen to Paris, who stood out to me on the latest runways.

Fashion Month S/S 27 Emerging Designers

Copenhagen Fashion Week

Standouts: Almada Label, Caro Editions, OpéraSport, Paolina Russo, Nicklas Skovgaard

Before the traditional fashion month calendar started this September (New York, London, Milan, Paris), there was the preseason fifth city: Copenhagen Fashion Week, which happened in August. For spring/summer 2027, CPHFW celebrated its 20th anniversary and had some of my favorite shows of the season. Almada Label, known for its Scandinavian minimalism, made its runway debut; Caro Edition had colorful, playful designs inspired by Princess Diana; and I loved OpéraSport.

New York Fashion Week

Standouts: Conner Ives, Emily Dawn Long, Jane Wade, Mel Usine, Pipenco, Tyler McGillivary, Zoe Gustavia Anna Whalen

Some of the brands I love the most on the calendar showed at New York Fashion Week, such as Colleen Allen, Mel Usine, and Jane Wade. Emily Dawn Long even presented a short film called The Crack of Dawn for her NYFW debut. Conner Ives, who was previously at London Fashion Week, also had his first-ever NYFW runway. It turned out to be one of my favorite shows of the entire month—as fun and glamorous as ever.

London Fashion Week

Standouts: Gui Rosa, Lucila Safdie, Masha Popova, Talia Byre

Having lived in London for a few years, I will forever have a special place in my heart for LFW. (It may even be my favorite one. I'm torn between that and Paris.) Unsurprisingly, all four of the collections I loved from emerging designers—Gui Rosa, Lucila Safdie, Masha Popova, and Talia Byre—graduated from Central Saint Martins, one of London's (very) famous fashion schools.

Milan Fashion Week

Standouts: Avavav, Casa Preti, Lucille Thièvre, Palengke

With Prada and Gucci on its roster, Milan is one of the biggest weeks on the fashion month calendar. I always look forward to seeing what Sweden-based brand Avavav does, given its propensity for runways that feel more like performance art. At White Milano (a trade show held during Milan Fashion Week), three emerging designers caught my eye: Casa Preti, Lucille Thièvre, and Palengke.

Paris Fashion Week

Standouts: Florentina Leitner, Hodakova, Julie Kegels, Marie Adam-Leenaerdt, Matières Fécales

We end the month in Paris with heavy hitters like Saint Laurent, The Row, Balenciaga, Miu Miu, Valentino, and Chanel. Among the emerging designers, for me, Matières Fécales, however polarizing, was one of the labels that stole the show, as it tends to do with its over-the-top, statement-making runways that share something beyond the clothes themselves. I've been thinking about the collections of Florentina Leitner, Hodakova, Julie Kegels, and Marie Adam-Leenaerdt as well.

After a few seasons of creative-director debuts, designers are finding their footing in their respective titles, and the spring/summer 2027 collections are turning out to be especially strong so far this fashion month. In Milan, there was so much to discuss, including the headline of the week: Pants are dead, and skirts are reigning supreme.

Perhaps the most buzzed-about moment was Demna's immersive store experience at Gucci. Meanwhile, Simone Bellotti at Jil Sander and Louise Trotter at Bottega Veneta both showed their best collections to date. And who could forget Prada's statement skirts, which are already shaping what next-season style looks like? Now that the style set has packed up and headed to Paris to close out fashion month, let's sit down to discuss everything we just saw at the Milan Fashion Week spring/summer 2027 shows—specifically the top seven trends to know.

The Major Spring 2027 Trends From Milan Fashion Week

Skirts Are It

Miuccia Prada said, "Skirts are like T-shirts," and that was the mindset behind Prada's S/S 27 collection, where knee-length skirts were the foundation—and centerpiece—of each look. Elsewhere during the week, designers were enamored with the same skirt silhouette, and it popped up as a sheer skirt set at Ferragamo and in bejeweled iterations at Marni, among many others.

House Heritage

Instead of following an aesthetic vision this season, the Italian houses put their strengths and unique heritage on full display. This was especially relevant at Bottega Veneta, where Trotter distilled the house's heritage of craftsmanship and textiles into her best collection to date. It was a similar story with the perforated leather at Tod's, the tailored skirts at Prada, and looks at Jil Sander and Ferragamo.

Bra Exposure

No shirt, no problem. The runways in Milan were in full agreement: If a bra is beautiful enough, it deserves to see the daylight too. Bras peeked out through sheer tops and purposely undone button-downs or simply arrived on their own as part of a skirt set.

Everyday Opulence

Opulent pieces are making their way from the couture collections to ready-to-wear, and designers are reimagining what these heirloom-like items might look like in a real-world wardrobe. Instead of being dialed all the way up, these special-occasion pieces were paired with everyday wardrobe staples that showed their wearability, whether that was a brocade skirt with a white tank or a fringed gold tunic with black trousers.

The Bigger Picture

Instead of a single item, many of the looks showed that it was more about the overall styling than a particular item. Designers deployed layering tactics like popped collars, polo shirts, and tonal tailoring to show how shopping for individual items is sometimes more about the end result than the piece itself.

Saccharine Shades

The color report is taking shape, and instead of the bold tones of fall 2026, next season stands to take a much softer and sweeter approach. Just like the pastel Leone candies you'll find at any tabacchi or farmácia throughout Italy, the runway was replete with candy-colored tones like peach, mint, and limone.

No More Big Blazers

The end of oversize suiting is here. At least in Milan, the spring 2027 collections were unanimous in their approach to tailoring, and that included very few oversize blazers. Everything arrived hypertailored, close to the body, and cinched at the waist.

In case you were unsure about whether fashion is still undecided between pared-back minimalism and all-out maximalism, Milan’s runways are making one thing abundantly clear: subtle dressing is taking a back seat for spring/summer 2027. Across Milan Fashion Week, designers have embraced printed skirts, exposed lingerie, playful proportions, clashing colours and a very deliberately undone approach to getting dressed (I'm looking at you, Moschino). Whilst Prada went all-in on the statement skirt, Fendi and Marni gave exposed bras a starring role; all signalling a broader shift towards expressive clothes that feel imperfect, thrown on and, quite frankly, more fun. And if you saw that clip of Anok Yai walking down the Gucci runway nonchalantly shrugging on a fur over a mini, you'll know exactly the energy that I'm talking about.

As is so often the case, Milan could be thought of as one of the most trend-defining stops of the S/S 27 season. Whilst the Scandis settled into the slow life during Copenhagen, and Londoners are returning to their rock and roll roots, the Italians are shaking things up for spring, and experimenting with sheer layers, unexpected colour combinations and an altogether new approach to polished dressing (avert your eyes, conservative nonnas). Curious to see the styles set to make an appearance again next spring/summer? Keep scrolling to see the surprising Milan runway trends we’ll still be thinking about long after fashion month is over.

1. An Extra Scoop

Style Notes: After the past year of funnel jackets stubbornly zipped up to the chin, the scoop neck is quietly emerging as one of Milan’s prettiest S/S 27 trends, with designers favouring wide, curved necklines that show just enough skin without feeling overly revealing. At Alberta Ferretti, scoop-neck tank tops were tucked into long skirts; meanwhile, the Ferragamo collection leaned into sheer, chest-exposing layering that affirmed the décolletage as the season's most important erogenous zone. It isn't a trend that is going to appeal to everyone, but there is beauty in its simplicity, and making this small adjustment to your neckline is exactly the kind of trend that can instantly make a simple vest, knit, or dress feel that bit more considered. Expect to see it everywhere come spring.

2. Gloss Over It

Style Notes: Looking for a trend that packs a punch for spring/summer? Forget rose-tinted glasses; the Milanese runways were all about shiny, happy pieces, giving glossy vinyl and translucent PVC a much more elevated spin. Swapping the usual futuristic connotations for sharp tailoring and sleek, body-skimming silhouettes, Ferragamo made a particularly strong case for the trend, showing translucent rubber dresses and high-shine vinyl trenches in an otherwise grounded collection. And over at Anteprima, lacquered skirts styled up white shirts and glossy camisoles brightened up basics. The trick for wearing it next season? Think less fetish costume and more glossy statement piece—a vinyl jacket, pencil skirt or sheer coat layered over a monochrome 'fit.

3. Get Waisted

Style Notes: Millennials, assemble: the waist belt is officially back, but for 2027, it’s anything but an afterthought. Across Milan, designers used belts to cinch languid silhouettes at the waist, to add structure to softer pieces and, in some cases, become the main event. At Ferragamo, belts were styled as decorative, waist-defining accessories, with some looks even stacking two together, whilst Ferretti took the trend in a much bolder direction with wider, chunkier styles similar to Obi belts worn atop sweeping skirts. The result feels less about simply holding your outfit together (quite literally) and more about giving your silhouette some shape, so if you’ve got a belt languishing at the back of your wardrobe, now might be the time to dig it out and wrap it around the waist of your high-rise skirts.

4. Blue Shirt Supremacy

Style Notes: No, it might not be reinventing the wheel, but if the Oxford shirt isn't broke, don't fix it—especially in a professional shade of powder blue. Milan is making a convincing case for moving beyond the classic white button-down, with smart shirts appearing in plenty of new-season guises, with MSGM styling blue shirting with everything from tailored trousers to sheer skirts, and MM6 quite literally hanging one from a model's front in the form of a makeshift dress. The best part? It’s an incredibly easy trend to bring into your existing wardrobe; Just swap your usual white shirt for a hit of blue and suddenly even the simplest jeans-and-shirt combination feels a little more considered.

5. Delicate Denim

Style Notes: Whether skinny or stovepipe, barrel or baggy, the only thing just as important as the shape of your jeans next spring is how they are finished. With designers playing with everything from unexpected colours to embellished details, a simple blue jean simply isn't enough for the Milanese fashion set, and delicate details are reigning supreme. At Dolce and Gabbana, red lace climbed up seams, whilst Ermanno Scervino and Genny denim sported floral motifs perfect for the sunnier seasons. Florals for spring might not be groundbreaking, but they do make denim feel less like an everyday basic and more like the starting point for your entire look.

6. Pretty in Pink

Style Notes: A calming palette cleanser after chilli red, pretty pastel pink is shaping up to be one of S/S 27’s most prolific colour trends, bringing a softer touch to Milan’s bold brand of dressing. At Marni, the delicate shade appeared alongside burgundy reds, orange and moss green, creating an unexpected contrast between sweetness and something more polished; elsewhere, MM6 used pale pink satin to create a fluid, softly romantic silhouette. The key to wearing it next season? Think less sugary and more sophisticated:| washed-out pinks, silky textures and grown-up tailoring make the colour feel surprisingly chic, whether you opt for a head-to-toe look or simply add a pastel-pink knit or shirt to your usual wardrobe.

There are certain shows you watch knowing you're about to get a pretty clear idea of what fashion will look like six months from now, and Fendi has long been one of them. Founded in Rome in 1925 as a fur- and leather-goods house, the brand has spent more than a century turning craftsmanship, accessories, and, yes, fur into some of its most recognizable signatures. Now, under Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri—who returned to Fendi in 2025 after actually beginning her career at the house decades earlier—the brand is entering a new era, which was showcased during Milan Fashion Week.

For the label's S/S 27 show, that meant relying less on one big, sweeping trend and delivering a series of styling cues that immediately felt bookmark-worthy. Fur became softer and more playful, bras were treated as legitimate outfit components, denim moved away from classic blue, and, naturally, the bags demanded their own conversation. Taken together, the collection felt like a useful preview of where spring dressing is headed next: slightly sexier, more textural, and a lot less predictable. Below are the four Fendi trends I expect we'll keep talking about long after fashion month ends.

Everything to Know From the Fendi Spring/Summer 2027 Show

Fendi Fur for the Modern Woman

Fendi and fur have a long-standing relationship, but for spring 2027, the house took a noticeably light-handed approach. Instead of the full-on furmania we've come to expect, the collection leaned into smaller, more playful touches: pastel-dyed textures, fluffy trims, and soft accents worked into otherwise streamlined looks. The effect felt less overtly glamorous and more like a modern styling trick—something meant to add texture rather than completely take over an outfit. It's a subtle shift that made fur feel surprisingly fresh for spring, especially when paired with the maison's softer color palette on the runway ahead of spring.

The Bra *Is* the Outfit

If there was one styling message Fendi made crystal clear, it was this. Stop hiding your bra. Lace-trim styles, contrast-color bras, and deliberately exposed lingerie popped up again and again across the runway, adding a sultrier edge to polished looks. Fendi isn't alone, either. Similar ideas appeared at the Prada runway show as well, suggesting this could become a much bigger story as the season continues. Consider this your early warning that underwear as outerwear is gearing up for another major moment.

Blue Jeans Are Taking a Back Seat

Spring denim usually conjures up classic indigo, crisp mid-washes, and those perfectly faded blues that come back every year. Fendi had other ideas. This season, much of the denim skewed noticeably grayer, dustier, and more washed out, trading traditional blue for tones that felt smoky and sun-bleached. It's a small color shift that made familiar denim silhouettes feel significantly more directional. According to Fendi, your most-worn jeans might not be blue at all.

The Fendi Bag Report

You can't talk about a Fendi runway without talking about the bags. The accessories from this season's show deserve their own moment, especially from a house responsible for some of fashion's most recognizable It bags. As always, the real story is in the details—notably the variations of the Fendi Baguette that Grazia Chiuri sent down the runway.

Louise Trotter, the woman you are. Bottega Veneta's creative director took the reins at the Italian heritage house just one year ago and has already hit her stride, delivering what many critics are calling her best collection to date on Saturday. The designer, whose previous roles include artisticdirector positions at Carven and Lacoste, checked off every necessary box for a brand as significant as Bottega Veneta: virality, craftsmanship, and commercial success. (On the topic of the latter, if anyone wants to talk about the pieces I'm already saving up for, DM me.) Of course, it always helps when you have Kendall Jenner closing the show while her alleged boyfriend, Jacob Elordi, sits front row and takes film pictures of her entire walk. But even without that cultural moment, Trotter's designs were more than enough to leave attendees and viewers at home kicking their feet in excitement.

Bottega Veneta S/S 27 included a little bit of everything you want from a Bottega Veneta collection. There was Intrecciato, the house's iconic weaving technique, on bags, tuxedo shirts, and even leather newspapers. Speaking of bags, the new shapes have "sellout" written all over them, from east-west clutches to giant straw totes to on-trend pouches. And then there were the textures, like colorful and patterned fringe and hand-knit crochet. Once again, Trotter proved that she (with the help of Bottega Veneta's in-house team of expert craftspeople) can make every material into a work of art. The hats that many models wore atop their heads were just a bonus.

Bottega Veneta Spring/Summer 2027 Review

Styling 101

Styling a really great outfit, especially one with a statement piece, isn't easy. That's why there are professionals who brands trust to make their creations look their very best. It's also a smart reason to watch runway shows. There's always a lesson or two to be learned about creating ensembles worth remembering and rewearing. Bottega Veneta this season was like a Styling 101 course. Class was in session, and its number one takeaway was this: Whenever you're wearing a loud, standout item, go simple with the rest. Pair a colorful fringe skirt with a crisp button-down shirt or poplin pants with an intricate crochet top. Let the outstanding item do all the work, and your go-to basics can act as background characters.

Power Coupling

Talk about fangirling. Elordi sat in the front row at this season's Bottega Veneta show and took sneaky photos of Jenner as she closed out the show in an all-black draped dress with matching crochet flats and a leather clutch. According to the internet, he also celebrated the occasion with flowers for Jenner, who first walked for the brand a decade ago in 2016.

Hats Off

More like hats on. At the show, a slew of models donned hats on the runway, from crochet caps in a variety of colors to cotton bucket styles and oversize sun hats. The styles acted as a fun continuation of Trotter's fall/winter 2026 collection, which heavily featured gray and black knit beanies. Will hats become spring 2027's top accessory? Only time will tell, though Trotter is clearly on board with the trend.

Louise Trotter: Minister of Craft

Trotter's crafts room was busy in the lead-up to spring/summer 2027, with the designer debuting look after look featuring high-art designs and details, from intricate embroidery to delicate crochet. Fringe was draped from shoulder to shoulder like a scarf tossed on casually, while Intrecciato details touched everything, from tuxedo shirts with tight-woven bibs to blouses with loose-woven bases. Three-dimensional flowers were placed on dresses, and a Pollock-esque knit and bag brought art to the runway.

Bag Breakdown

At the end of the day, Bottega Veneta is a leather-goods brand that's specialized in Intrecciato weaving for over 50 years, so of course, the handbags featuring the iconic technique were impeccable. "Intrecciato sits at the heart of Bottega Veneta: Matter is woven, but so are disciplines, gestures, and people," the show notes state. Plus, they were extremely consumer-friendly. In six months, every east-west clutch and minimalist shoulder bag will be full of cool people's essentials. The really chic ones will have gotten their hands on the beige lizard-skin clutch that immediately caught my eye when it debuted or the gorgeous green pouch bag that fits just enough.

Home to Prada, Bottega Veneta and Fendi, Milan has some serious fashion credentials. The city has long been a breeding ground for some of the industry’s most influential designers, and when Fashion Week rolls around, the creativity that runs through the city year-round reaches another level. With the world’s best-dressed descending on Milan, excellent outfits are pretty much guaranteed.

Of the “Big Four” Fashion Weeks, Milan has always struck me as the most glamorous. There’s a little more drama, polish and, yes, glitz to the way its fashion crowd dresses, which makes street style spotting particularly fun. After spending the week keeping an eye on the best looks outside the shows, I’m here to report back on the trends that are really taking hold in Milan right now.

From the skirt silhouette that’s having a particularly big moment in Italy to the non-boring neutral I spotted everywhere, these are the five Milan Fashion Week street style trends worth knowing about now.

5 Milan Fashion Week Street Style Trends to Copy Now:

1. Whispy Skirts

Style Notes: Few trends have made as much of a splash in Milan this Fashion Week as the pencil skirt. But among the sea of knee-grazing, streamlined styles, one particularly chic iteration kept catching my eye: gauzy skirts.

Whether it was an opaque pencil skirt finished with a wraparound layer of tulle or an entirely sheer style, transparent style, gauzy elements were woven through some of the best looks I spotted on Milan’s streets, adding a little movement and softness to what could otherwise be a very polished, prim silhouette.

2. Cummerbunds

Style Notes: Borrowed from the boys, wraparound, waist-cinching cummerbunds made a surprisingly strong showing among Milan’s street style crowd this week. Traditionally used to bring structure to formal menswear and tuxedo dressing, the glossy waistband is being given a more relaxed fashion-person spin.

I spotted them worn over blazers to cinch in the waist, as well as in place of a belt with jumpers and trousers on repeat this week.

3. Pink Shirts

Style Notes: Whilst a classic button-down remains a Milanese wardrobe essential, I noticed that many of the best-dressed attendees had swapped their usual gleaming white styles for a pink version instead.

An easy wardrobe switch, pink shirts bring colour and energy to an otherwise classic outfit, looking particularly good with tailored trousers or blue jeans. If the white shirt is starting to feel a little predictable, this might be the update to try.

4. Polo Shirts

Style Notes: Sorry, T-shirts. Goodbye, tank tops. Polo shirts are shaping up to be the Milanese fashion person’s casual top of choice this season.

I spotted the sporty staple worn with everything from skirts to trousers and jeans, bringing a slightly preppy energy to otherwise polished looks. After seasons of the humble tee dominating off-duty dressing, the polo feels like a much fresher way to approach the everyday basics in your wardrobe.

5. Chunky, Colourful Scarves

Style Notes: As temperatures dip, Milan’s fashion crowd is already trading the lightweight cotton scarves that completed so many summer looks for chunkier, wind-proof wool styles.

Brightly coloured and generously wrapped around the neck, these scarves offer an early hint at what’s coming for autumn/winter dressing. So, if you’re in the market for a new scarf, this is your sign to skip the neutrals.

Demna for Gucci. It's a phrase that's already polarizing despite the fact that the designer has only produced a handful of collections as creative director for the Italian house. After his fall/winter 2026 and cruise 2027 shows, we thought Demna had said all he had to say about his new design direction for Gucci, but with this most recent collection, the designer's Gucci era is materializing into something lucid, precise, and extremely chic.

Titled The Store, Demna described it as "the first collection in which I present my complete personal vision for the brand, based on everything I've learned about it." The show was divided into two distinct parts, dedicating the first to menswear and the second to womenswear. For the latter, it did not look like one singular aesthetic. Instead, it was a collection of characters that continues Demna's La Famiglia idea from spring 2026. It included a nod to '80s power dressing and distinctly Tom Ford–era pencil skirts, plus slinky cutout gowns paired with glam fur coats.

It's a vision Demna has been building all year: "the tension between propriety and sensuality," as he put it. Ahead, read everything to know about Gucci's S/S 27 show during Milan Fashion Week.

The Store

No, it wasn't an actual new boutique, but the show unfolded inside a full-scale replica of an imagined Gucci super flagship, complete with marble columns, sleek display cases, and racks of clothing that made showgoers do a double take. "Conceived as a retail space, it previews his aesthetic for the Gucci stores of the future," the brand explained. As for what that aesthetic entails? Think Greco-Roman sculptures and sleek marble columns that blend Gucci's Italian heritage with its modern Demna-fied direction.

The Many Gucci Archetypes

Rather than a singular muse, the spring/summer 2027 collection is built around a "complete palette of personalities," each one a different facet of Demna's Gucci—the rebellious aristocrat, the snob, and the eccentric. It's a continuation of his S/S 26 collection titled La Famiglia. Together, the three archetypes gave the show a through line and proved that Demna's Gucci can hold multitudes while still being cohesive.

The Styling Lessons

Layering, popped collars, preppy sweaters, and boot tucks—Demna put a new-season spin on classic wardrobe heroes like leggings, knits, and shirts, imbuing them with the house's signature glamour.

Supermodel Sweep

Demna once again proved his knack for A-list casting, and he filled this runway with a suite of supermodels, particularly several VS Angels, including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Elsa Hosk, Candice Swanepoel, and Anok Yai.

Horsebit Galore

Accessories told their own story this season with Gucci's most enduring emblem, the Horsebit. The motif was reimagined across bags, shoes, belts, and outerwear. All eyes are on the bags, and models carried both new-season silhouettes, like a sleek Uptown tote and a party-ready three-Horsebit style, and some of the most recognizable styles, including the GG Marmont and Ophidia. Even amid all the reinvention, Demna is still considering Gucci's most iconic archives.

Silvana Armani spent 40 years working with her uncle, Giorgio Armani, gaining a deep understanding of the brand's core values, craftsmanship, and vision. Yet taking on the role of arguably the most beloved and respected figure in fashion is no small feat. With her creative experience, deep connection to the brand's legacy, and profound grasp of who the Armani woman is, though, she has proved through her early collections, especially her sophomore one, which debuted today, that she can successfully lead the Italian house into its new chapter. This seamless transition and forward-looking approach were especially evident with spring/summer 2027.

For her most recent collection, titled "Evolution," Silvana looked to the foundation on which the luxury fashion house was built: something strong enough to support everything that comes after it. Rather than recreating the past, she returned to the brand's defining elements and reinterpreted them through her own lens, evolving it without losing sight of where it began. As the brand explains in the press release, "Identity too can evolve without losing its essence." In this sense, the collection becomes a conversation between what Armani has been, what it is today, and what it can become.

The house's history shows throughout the collection, from its signature understated elegance to its emphasis on clean, sophisticated silhouettes. At the same time, these familiar elements were transformed through new proportions, sharp shoulders, fluid tailoring, and after-dark high-shine glamour. Introducing cotton for the first time added a fresh dimension, while butterfly motifs symbolized metamorphosis and the start of a new chapter. One look even featured images of Giorgio Armani on a jacket, creating a directional connection between the past and its evolving future.

Ultimately, what Silvana presented for spring/summer 2027 was all about building on the house's codes, letting them evolve while preserving their essence. It's unquestionably Giorgio Armani, but her own version. And her uncle would be proud. Keep scrolling to discover everything there is to know about the new collection.

Butterfly Effect

The metamorphosis of a butterfly was used as a symbol throughout the collection, representing how something can evolve while staying true to its identity. The butterfly's transformation from an egg to a caterpillar, chrysalis, and finally a fully formed butterfly mirrors the brand's personal growth and evolution while preserving its core identity. Inspired by this concept, Silvana took the idea a step further by incorporating butterfly motifs throughout the collection. Some gowns featured butterfly embellishments on the necklines, while blazers were finished with butterfly brooches. More appeared on accessories, especially layered necklaces and chokers. Some pieces were subtle while others were bold, but each represented the house's journey of growth, resilience, and evolution.

Cotton in Focus

Now that Giorgio Armani is under Silvana Armani's creative leadership, she is setting new rules for the brand's evolving language. One clear directive she is establishing is to make cotton central to the Armani collections. "He didn't like it; he thought it was too humble a fabric," she told WWD, referring to Giorgio Armani. "But I adore cotton, so I added it." While it marked a significant shift for the house, it was done elegantly. The fabric appeared throughout fluid trousers and Bermuda shorts, paired seamlessly with sporty anoraks, plunging V-neck blazers, blouses, and collarless jackets.

The '80s, Reimagined

If you've been paying attention to recent runway collections, you may have noticed designers leaning into the multifaceted era of the '80s, making it feel fresh and relevant today. Silvana's collection clearly echoed that approach. However, for the brand, it's not just about chasing trends—the time period holds profound significance for Giorgio Armani. It was a transformative, defining decade when Armani arguably set the look of the era by popularizing sharp-shouldered suits. The press release notes that Silvana channeled this rich heritage by drawing inspiration from the decade through "sharp shoulders, rhythmic geometries and metallic glimmers." Eighties-inspired strapless necklines and fringe also dominated the collection.

Opulent Neutrals

In her debut collection, Silvana paired classic gray, beige, navy, and black with vibrant accents of sage green, burgundy, cherry red, and dusty lilac. However, for her sophomore collection, Silvana scaled back on color, focusing on a refined palette of rich neutrals: ivory, black, and gold. This shift was intentional, though. "The… palette allows structure, texture, and movement to emerge," the brand shares in the press release. Plus, every shade served a specific purpose: "Black expresses strength, depth, and rigor; ivory provides a luminous counterpoint; gold adds energy, illuminating the surfaces."

Day-to-Night Footwear

For over 50 years, the Giorgio Armani brand has been synonymous with Italian elegance. But Armani has always been about practicality, comfort, and wearability. That balance was particularly evident in the spring/summer 2027 collection. Many of the looks felt as though they could move seamlessly from the runway into everyday life, particularly the footwear, which emphasized versatility and a day-to-night sensibility. Loafers and flats were designed with ruched details and woven colorblocking. Closed-toe ankle-strap kitten heels with touches of PVC fabric were also integrated and paired with sequin gowns and skirts. Neoprene boots with buckle details and exposed gold zippers accompanied the lineup, making sophistication feel effortless.

There's a very specific kind of closet I daydream about, and it isn't mine. It belongs to someone's Sicilian grandmother, the woman who kept every lace slip, every brooch, and every jacket she ever loved, then handed it all down to the next generation. For Spring/Summer 2027, Dolce & Gabbana built an entire collection around that closet.

The show, called "Stravaganza Siciliana," introduced a new character to the Dolce & Gabbana family. She's still unmistakably Sicilian, but she's a lot less precious about the family heirlooms, and that's what makes her so fun to watch. She's reimagined the brands classic elements like leopard print and a striking little black dress but also introduced her own pieces as well. From cotton poplin to tweed everywhere, you need to see this.

Who is the new Dolce & Gabbana woman?

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana opened their show notes with a line from Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's The Leopard: "For everything to remain as it is, everything must change." That's the whole idea behind this woman. She's inherited the palazzo, and instead of keeping everything in a safe, she's raiding it.

The premise is a generational handoff. The grandmother dresses the granddaughter, and the granddaughter wears it her own way, sometimes with jeans or a woven basket. The house codes are all still here (black lace, lingerie, corsetry, leopard), but the attitude has shifted from reverent to playful. If you've ever been told something was too nice to wear, this collection is your sign to wear it anyway.

Tweed and Other Family Heirlooms

The designers pulled straight from the kind of objects that live in old Sicilian homes: a grandmother's jacket, an aunt's jewel, statement bangles, embroidered linen, an old trousseau packed away for decades. Even the furniture of these families made it onto the runway. Damask, passementerie, and upholstery fabrics were reworked into dresses and jackets, so a look might resemble the sofa it was photographed on, in the best way. Then there was the jewelry, piled on in every look: pearls, crosses, cameos, coral, brooches, and talismans, all worn together like she emptied the whole jewelry box before leaving the house.

Mismatched Styling

This is where the collection felt most modern to me. Nothing was meant to match. Pastel lace met leopard, lingerie peeked out from under sharp tailoring, and miniskirts showed up next to brocade. Some of the best looks paired delicate lace and crochet with denim, which kept the heirloom pieces from feeling like costume.

The easiest way to try this in real life is to start with one sentimental piece and wear it with something completely unserious. Your mom's old cardigan with a lace slip skirt, a vintage brooch pinned to a denim jacket, a string of pearls with a leopard tee. The point is to mix eras and registers until the outfit feels like yours and nobody else's.

A Sicilian Take on Leopard

Leopard has been a Dolce & Gabbana signature for decades, but this season it came with a history lesson. The print appears in ancient Roman mosaics, where it once stood for power and spectacle. Centuries later, it took on a new Sicilian meaning through Lampedusa's Il Gattopardo, the novel the collection quotes from. On the runway, leopard was less about power and more about personality. It showed up next to pastel lace, layered with jewelry, and styled with a wink. It's sensual, a little ironic, and very much excess in the fun way.

Maximilian Davis stepped into the creative director role at Ferragamo in 2022, at just 26, bringing a distinct perspective to the Italian luxury fashion house. Since then, he has turned the brand's archive into something modern, sensual, slightly rebellious, and definitely relevant. His most recent collection, which he presented during Milan Fashion Week, may be his most assured expression of that instinct yet.

For spring/summer 2027, Davis continued to explore stories of liberation, this time looking specifically to the women of the 1940s. "I was inspired by the women of the era who were taking ownership of their own narrative: who were subjects of imagery but also traveled the world to create their own," Davis says in the press release. "[During this time] clothing, and its structure, created a certain posture and propriety."

He considered everything, from pocket placement to women's fearlessness, shown through the patina of sun-faded leathers, natural fabrications, and prints that echo the topography of terrain. That sense of intentionality came through in other areas, too. Davis played with belts, using them as decorative, waist-defining accessories rather than for their functional necessities, while translucent rubber, closely resembling latex, appeared throughout trench coats, minidresses, pencil skirts, and cropped jackets. Elsewhere, drapery central to Davis's approach to scarf dressing offered a fluid counterpoint to the structured shapes (think strong shoulders, defined waists and firm fabrics) of the '40s.

The 63-piece collection turned up the glamour for the Italian fashion house. There was sensuality, but never a sense of trying too hard. The result was clothing for women who know exactly how they want to be seen and, more importantly, how they want to define themselves.

That idea of defining oneself feels particularly fitting for Davis, too. He may not have entered Ferragamo with the name recognition of fashion's biggest players, but since arriving, he has steadily asserted his own point of view, reshaping the house's identity. In many ways, he has done what the women at the center of his spring 2027 collection did: taken ownership and made it their own. Four years into the job, Davis has used Ferragamo's history as a foundation while establishing his own voice and helping the house stay relevant to a new generation. It's safe to say Ferragamo is in good hands with Davis. Keep scrolling to read all about the spring/summer 2027 collection.

Latexification of Luxury

One thing about Davis is that he's not afraid to experiment. This season, he pushed the boundaries of modern tailoring and style by integrating unique fabrics and finishes, most notably latex. He not only elevated the rubber material, making it look luxurious and redefining how we see it in fashion, but also executed this bold choice with the utmost elegance. How did he achieve this balance? By grounding the fabrication in classic silhouettes. Davis took simple minidresses, trench coats, pencil skirts, and fitted jackets and rendered them in shades of brown, olive, and muted blue. The translucent material gave off a glossy, wet look while clinging to the body in a tasteful and sculpted way.

Decorative Belting

For his spring/summer 2027 collection, Davis stripped the belt of its utilitarian function and reimagined it as a purely decorative, waist-defining accessory. Rendered in everything from simple black to rich brown leather, the belts became integral to the garments themselves. They were threaded through oversized belt loops on skirts and dresses and wrapped across the chest of thin-strapped dresses. In some looks, two belts were stacked together and threaded through the upper waist of suede and leather dresses.

Curved-Heel Stilettos

Davis doesn't come to play when it comes to accessories. If you had a chance to take a close look at the collection, you may have noticed Art Deco-inflected jewelry like sculptural drop earrings and cuff bracelets as well as beautiful bags—more on that in a little. But what I want to call out is the footwear, specifically the sculptural heels. Davis drew inspiration from Salvatore Ferragamo's F Wedges from 1947 and reinterpreted them as sleek, pointed-toe slingbacks—and modern wedges. Some featured a bow embellishment resembling the iconic Vara Bow shoes, while others were adorned with the same jewelry as the earrings or a simple yet elegant croc-effect leather strappy upper. All featured a polished, curved heel that reinforces the desirable, sensual appeal Davis has cultivated for the brand.

Close-to-the-Body Bags

Let's discuss the bags. The highlight was the new Cara bag, which debuted on the fall 2026 runway and has since been carried by celebrities including Bella Hadid, Emma Roberts, and Monica Barbaro. In the spring collection, the bag retained its distinctive accordion style and iconic Gancini closure, crafted in seasonal leather and suede. The beloved Hug Bag also appeared in an oversized clutch design in classic black, muted green, or rich burgundy leather, as well as in an east-west shape with a new crinkled double silk fabric. Whether or not the bags had straps, they were all worn as clutches and kept in constant contact with the body—held close as if safeguarding something valuable.

Nocturnal Elegance

While the entire collection highlighted the Ferragamo girl's unapologetic, sensual persona, the second half emphasized it with numerous occasion dresses. Some models wore tulle gowns that draped elegantly across the body, while others wore dense black sequin dresses that formed a lustrous, almost liquid surface and reflected light vividly. High necklines, off-the-shoulder designs, cape-like sleeves, and transparent panels that subtly flashed skin enhanced the confident and polished presence of Davis's muses.

Every fashion month, I promise myself I'll stop screenshotting street style photos by the time the shows hit Milan. Every season, I fail. Milan just dresses different from the other cities. The tailoring is sharper, the leather is richer, and the accessories look like they've been in someone's family for decades (even when they were bought last week).

This season was no exception, so I narrowed it down to the 10 outfits I keep coming back to, from showgoing editors to the stylists and creators lining the streets between shows. The best part is that most of these looks start with pieces you probably already own. Keep scrolling for my favorites and how to get the looks for yourself.

FYI, three wardrobe heroes just got a new season makeover. At Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2027 show in Milan, Demna put a new-season spin on leggings, knits and shirts, imbuing these wardrobe staples with the house’s signature mix of excess, glamour and party-girl energy.

From the coolest way to wear leggings right now to the shirt-styling trick that makes an outfit feel much more considered, here are the three Gucci-approved formulas to borrow this season.

1) Jodhpurs Tucked Into Boots

Style Notes: At Gucci, Demna swapped sporty lycra leggings for jodhpur-inspired styles, tucking them into tall riding boots to create a sleek, elongated silhouette with a notably equestrian energy.

To get the look, trade your usual shiny suspects for a more structured pair, add tall leather boots and suddenly the humble legging feels its most pulled together. Fancy a gallop around the park, anyone?

2. Preppy Polos

Style Notes: At Gucci, Demna gave the humble polo knit a sharper attitude, plucking it away from its usual denim pairing and introducing it to some far more elevated combinations. Worn with leather and layered with jewels, the ubiquitous staple takes on a cooler energy, bringing a little tension to polished outfits and making the familiar feel fresh again.

Shop Polo Jumpers:

3. Layered Shirts

Style Notes: Demna’s Gucci knows that more is more, and that philosophy extends to even the most straightforward wardrobe staples. Case in point: the humble white shirt, which is layered up rather than worn alone. The extra layer adds structure and interest to make an otherwise basic outfit feel much more intentional.

Shop Shirts:

In case you haven't heard, basic button-downs are on their way out, all thanks to the elevated alternative that's been taking over ever since Matthieu Blazy showed his debut collection for Chanel last year. I'm referring to tuxedo shirts, which have quietly become *the* basic to pair with skirts, trousers, jeans, and more in 2026. The best way to style them, though, just revealed itself in Milan. Surprisingly, it wasn't on the runway during Milan Fashion Week. Rather, it was on Jennifer Lopez, who, like most of the style set, is in town for the spring/summer 2027 shows.

Before walking the runway at Vogue World, the singer and actress stepped out in Milan wearing a pair of high-waisted black trousers with an unbuttoned tuxedo shirt tucked in to reveal a slinky black bralette. She paired the classic-with-a-twist trio with her signature platform heels, a black Dolce & Gabbana top-handle bag, and a Tacori diamond ring worth more than $16,000.

On Jennifer Lopez: Tacori Dahlia Sculpted Double-Petal Pavé Ring ($16390); Dolce & Gabbana My Sicily Top Handle Bag ($2884)

The trick to making your tuxedo shirt look relevant in 2026 is to follow J.Lo's styling to a T, keeping the top unbuttoned but tucked into high-rise bottoms so you're still covered up. For a cool, casual look, trade in her tailored trousers for vintage Levi's and a pair of easy kitten heels. To dress up the technique, either wear slacks, a pencil skirt, or a column skirt. Bonus points for leather. Go the extra mile by picking a cool bralette in pastel silk or embroidered lace.

Marni has always had a playful streak, and under Creative Director Meryll Rogge, it's leaning into that harder than ever. For spring/summer 2027, shown in Milan today, Rogge built the collection around the idea of cutting away to see what's underneath. Exposed linings, cutouts, and deconstructed seams put the inside of each piece on full display. Even the set played into this theme, revealing what was there and what had been removed.

The result felt younger and a little grungier than the Marni many of us grew up with, but the brand's love of clashing print and color was all there, emphasized with Rogge's influence. The collection, described as "discovery for a new chapter" in the show notes, revealed a modern take on common themes in fashion as of late. Romance that exposes what's underneath, gorpcore that actually feels like it was made for the fashion crowd, and an Anna Wintour appearance made this season at Marni feel extra special. Below, we're unpacking our favorite themes further.

An Evolution of Meryll Rogge at Marni

Welcome to Rogge's second season at Marni, one that feels just as young, innovative, and dashing as the first. Rogge is putting her own spin on the classic aesthetic that the brand is known for while remembering the history of what made Marni, well, Marni. The show closed with Mariacarla Boscono in a black leather shift dress traced with arcs of aquamarine beading, a nod to the brand's past. Rogge told WWD the look mattered because Boscono is "such a huge part of the Marni history."

The New Feminine

Rogge's womenswear centered on a slim, tubular silhouette, with lots of shift dresses in leather and heavy satin, but all of this was deconstructed from a Marni point of view. Some looks came with a porthole cutout at the chest anchored by a chunky belt, while others were covered in the plastic discs that feel instantly on-brand. The outline of a bra was built right into one garment, turning underwear into outerwear. It's a take on dressing up that's more clever than sweet.

An Elevated Take on Socks With Sandals

Footwear followed the same cutaway theme, with shoes and socks designed to show the skin beneath. Sheer fabrics offered glimpses of the leg, and the collection's signature discs reappeared as small sequins on the shoes themselves. If you've been on the fence about the socks-and-sandals combo, this is the most polished version of it we've seen.

Modern Gorpcore

Marni has always mixed sportswear with tailoring, and this season's standout was a short-sleeved technical windbreaker that came color-paneled with an ornate wallpaper print and was styled with bold '80s earrings, leather capris, and fabulous accessories. You're not going to want to take a hike in these looks, and finally, here's proof that outdoor-inspired pieces look best when paired with something sharp.
