Paris
Paris Fashion Week, ended 6 October 2026. Official site
Matthieu Blazy's second year at Chanel kept the house at the centre of the conversation, while Dries Van Noten mixed leopard skirts, rugby shirts and poster prints into everyday characters. The Row moved into quirkier territory with antique lace, tapestry belts and scarf tops; Saint Laurent showed its whole collection in shades of gold; Louis Vuitton was one of Nicolas Ghesquière's most wearable outings in years. Skirts of every kind, from suits to hip-draped asymmetric shapes, took over from baggy jeans and cargos.

Reported from Style Arcade: Top trends from Paris Fashion Week SS27.
The silent trench
The classic trench showed up everywhere, reshaped brand by brand and used as a canvas for the rest of the look.
Belts, belts, belts
Supersized buckles at Celine, saloon-style floral belts at Isabel Marant, classic leather cinching paperbag waists at Dries Van Noten.
The sheer skirt, layered
Sheer skirts are now doubled up, beaded and worn over other pieces rather than on their own.
Yellow punch
Warmer marigold, daffodil and banana yellows replaced the acidic chartreuse of recent seasons, from Miu Miu swim trunks to a Chloé raincoat.
Satin for daytime
Satin moved out of eveningwear into boxer shorts, two-pieces, blazers and even military vests.
Pattern play
Prints and patterns paired on purpose at Chanel, Valentino and Miu Miu, eccentric and collectible rather than a passing clash.
