Just as you'd expect from their spotless style reputation, the Parisians were out in force and showcasing their effervescence this Paris Fashion Week. Wearing a mix of surprising new trends, faithful French classics and styles that have been gently bubbling for a few seasons but now have the approval of the French fashion crowd, France's capital was alight with inspired looks.
Read on to discover the street style trends we're taking home with us from this Paris Fashion Week.
1. BANANA-MILK YELLOW
Style Notes: Banana-milk yellow is the playful yet refined alternative to beige or grey, and it's become a quiet favourite of the fashion set, brightening up autumn wardrobes with a fresh hint of warmth and colour. Pairing well with sunset tones and neutrals alike, the buttery shade has solidified itself as the colour of the season.
Shop the Trend:

Inject come colour into your workwear wardrobe.
This light linen dress layers well with deep navy tones.
2. KEY-HOLE CUT-OUTS
Style Notes: Whilst Londoners favoured mini skirts this fashion month, in Paris, showgoers chose another way to show off some skin. Bold cut-outs were spotted on the chests of France's fashion set, some adorned with dramatic necklaces and others left bare.

5. EVERY SHADE OF BROWN AND BEIGE

6. THE CITY OF LIGHT
Style Notes: This Fashion Week, it was easy to understand why Paris is known as The City of Lights. Whilst the night sky was lit with dazzling street lights, the pavements were ablaze with shimmering showgoers. Favouring metallic finishes and sequinned embellishments, the crowd brought glistening glamour to the city's streets.
Shop the Trend:
Style with metallic silver trousers for a head-turning look.
Go for head-to-toe glitz.
In my opinion, this is the perfect party top.

Style Notes: This trend might not be for everyone, but the bravest of the French style set stepped out in structural pairs of oversized black boots with dramatic square edges or big, slouchy folds.
These look more expensive than they are.
Style with tights or go bare-legged.
Loewe's slouchy boots are a divisive trend we can get behind.
