Bonjour, Paris! We’ve officially arrived at the last stop on the fashion month train, with industry insiders crowding the City of Light’s historic streets in looks that embody Parisians’ inherent romance with hints of downtown edge. Vogue Shopping’s own editors were among them—Lisa Aiken and Madeline Fass, to be exact—showing up outside several of the season’s It shows in their signature minimalist uniforms, but with a fashion-forward twist. Think fringed scarves tied coolly at the waist and floral brooches pinned onto seriously great outerwear. Others sported everything from statement skirts and suede jackets to flashes of leopard print. The fashion verdict? Fall outfit inspiration is taking a front-row seat.
Paris Fashion Week Street Style Highlights:
We spotted Dries Van Noten sarongs with embellished button-ups, leather moto jackets paired with tailored trousers and sleek heeled boots, and a slew of statement accessories that take everyday ensembles to new heights. Our favorites? Rich chocolate-brown opera gloves, oversized shield sunglasses, and cool pendant necklaces.sz
Pops of cherry red are still having a major moment, from sporty jackets to cashmere crewnecks draped chicly over the shoulders. Footwear-wise, options ran the gamut, from transitional heeled sandals—Phoebe Philo’s fisherman style, in particular—to polished pumps and worn-in penny loafers. And the handbag trend quick to emerge? Ditch your usual neutrals for a fun color—think butter yellow, tangerine, and chartreuse.
Check back at least one more time as we continue sifting through the city’s chicest looks. Until then, shop ten Paris Fashion Week trends to inspire your fall wardrobe rotation.
Everyday Opulence
Curious what Vogue’s head of editorial content, Chloe Malle, is wearing to Paris Fashion Week? Dries Van Noten’s embellished pale pink button-up and printed sarong skirt, to be exact. In typical Chloe fashion, she grounded the opulent duo with simple brown peep-toe mules, then added a personality-packed finisher or two—think playful jewels and a vibrant tangerine clutch.
Minimalist, With a Twist
Bold color may be trending, but Vogue’s Lisa Aiken knows that black-and-white is the secret to chic fall dressing. Start with a tailored duster coat in ivory and a pair of classic black trousers, then, for the ultimate fashion-forward twist, pin on an embellished crepe brooch. Worn-in white loafers polish off the monochromatic look, while a black clutch keeps things perfectly minimalist.
All Over Texture
Take your next fall look to new levels entirely by playing with texture—and lots of it. Per Vogue’s Madeline Fass, begin by layering up in a funnel-neck leather jacket and a pair of grey trousers, then accent the duo with a silk fringed scarf tied elegantly at the waist. Top it all off with accessories that pack equal amounts of personality—printed pumps and a calf-hair-adorned clutch.
Gloves On
No longer just a practical cold-weather staple, leather opera gloves first started trending on last season’s runways—and now the street style scene has taken note. Add the luxe accessory to an otherwise casual, off-duty outfit: a cropped black lady jacket, a pair of easy blue jeans, and trendy sneakers. Tortoiseshell shield sunglasses and a timeless black tote provide chic finishing touches.
Suede Topper
Sumptuous and supple, suede jackets are the fashion crowd’s go-to outerwear option season after season. Styling-wise, keep things classic with well-loved blue jeans and a little black boot. For a welcome pop of color, tie a butter-yellow cashmere sweater at the waist, then carry a sleek top-handle tote in sweet caramel.
Gone Fishin’
Don’t stow away your heeled summer sandals quite yet. These Phoebe Philo fisherman sandals are the perfect excuse, styled chicly at PFW with a crisp blue-and-white striped button-up and a pair of tailored black trousers. A croc evening watch—worn during the day!—and Balenciaga’s top-handle tote complete the look with that effortless, not-trying-too-hard polish Parisians do best.
Head-to-Toe Grey
Fall’s chicest neutral is undeniably heather grey. Embrace the groutfit the Parisian way with a grey crewneck tee, chunky cashmere knit draped elegantly at the neck, and a pair of heeled pumps in the same hue. A light brown nylon skirt breaks up the all-over grey, while a tasseled handbag in chartreuse provides an unexpected pop of color.
Red Haute
Red alert! Even the most pared-back Parisians are embracing the maximalist outerwear trend. Fashion girl Lolita Jacobs styled her colorful sporty jacket with a pair of light-grey wide-leg jeans, patent-leather ankle boots, and a white boyfriend tee. An embellished cord necklace kept things cool, while a suede shoulder bag brought a sumptuous dose of texture.
Cat Lady
With fashion month dwindling down, one thing remains clear: The fashion crowd is going wild for leopard print. Style the new neutral like this chic showgoer with earth-toned denim, a heeled wedge sandal, and a pair of dramatic oversized black sunglasses. A simple brown belt helps create a cinched-waist effect, while a strand of pretty pearls keeps the look firmly feminine—or shall we say feline?
Hello, Moto
PFW’s style mantra is all about mixing romance with a hint of edge—and this next look is the perfect example. Team a leather moto jacket with a checker-print full skirt, then add a heeled ballet flat and butter-yellow handbag for an unexpected finish. Meanwhile, sculptural jewels stay true to the theme.

Pajama Party
Consider this your sign to take your silky pajama top out of the bedroom and onto the streets. Give it a Prada-inspired styling twist with crisp white jeans, strappy heeled sandals, and a roomy jacket worn open on top. For a flash of bold color, tie a cherry-red crewneck sweater at the waist, then accessorize with a cool leather cord necklace.
Skant Season
Intimidated by the skant—a.k.a. the skirt-and-pant hybrid? Don’t be! Vogue’s Naomi Elizée embraced the controversial style with total confidence, sporting Dries Van Noten’s printed skant with a checker-print blazer, also from the brand. Then, play up the high-low styling with a sumptuous suede Prada handbag, heeled thong sandals, and sporty shield shades from District Vision.
Boho Twist
Fall fashion is all about smart layers—and few do it quite like Vogue Italia’s Marta Oldrini. Outside the Prada show, she brought texture and heft to a flowy white boho dress with a roomy grey cardigan. A slim black leather belt brought definition to the silhouette, while Prada’s viral Wish pouch and a pair of distressed pumps provided the color—and energy! Like Oldrini, add a charm to your belt for a personality-packed finish.
Welcome to the Jungle
If last fall belonged to leopard print, then this season, zebra is coming for its crown. But why choose just one? Follow this showgoer’s lead and make a leopard-print coat the outfit, accessorizing with polished black pumps and a zebra-splashed clutch. Underneath, a simple black midiskirt keeps things clean, as do Sophie Buhai’s sculptural earrings and Saint Laurent’s shield shades.
Purple and Pink
The fashion crowd can’t stop wearing royal purple with cherry red—and at MFW, you can officially add pale pink to the mix. Marie Claire EIC Nikki Ogunnaike layered two purple crewnecks—one tied loosely at the waist—with a pair of wide-leg pale-pink jeans and pointed-toe pumps. A bold red shoulder bag added to the look’s vibrancy, as did her bright white shield sunglasses. All you need to anchor the ensemble? A slim black leather belt.
A Transitional Touch
Fall may officially be here, but the warm Milanese weather says otherwise. Dress for seesawing temperatures in layers that can be easily added—or subtracted. We’re taking inspiration from this particular look: Start with a simple white long-sleeve tee and black pencil skirt, then tie a checker-print flannel shirt at the waist. Polish off the look with satin slip-on mules, a nylon handbag, and an elegant beaded necklace.
Body Language
Bodies, bodies, bodies! The fall 2026 runways were an homage to the female form, from the second-skin dresses at Alaïa to Khaite’s sheer layers. Now, the street style scene has taken note. Pair Jil Sander’s figure-hugging bustier top with a bold red slip skirt, classic black overcoat, and pair of icy-white pumps. Finish the look with a timeless black handbag and a pair of skinny shades.
The Soft Power Suit
Monochromatic dressing doesn’t have to mean wearing one shade from head to toe. Take a softer approach with a butter-yellow blazer layered over a simple white tee, then ground the look with Theory’s tailored grey trousers. Keep the tonal palette going with Jil Sander’s strappy Cage sandals and creamy leather handbag. A pair of classic black Ray-Bans provides just enough contrast.
Fringe Benefits
The secret to making an all-black outfit feel anything but boring? Playing with texture and silhouette. A fringe-trimmed midiskirt brings the movement, while an oversized black blazer, cinched at the waist with a slim leather belt, creates a strong hourglass shape. A simple white tee breaks up the black, while pointed-toe ballet flats and Prada’s petite top-handle bag provide the polished finishing touches.
Double Up On Scarves
Why wear one scarf when you can wear two? Bergdorf Goodman’s Linda Fargo accentuated her classic tailoring with a butter-yellow scarf tied at the waist and a printed silk style knotted at the neck. Follow her lead with a crisp blue button-up and tailored black trousers, then keep the polished mood going with two-tone Mary Janes and a classic black handbag. Proof that sometimes, more really is more.

Checks & Balances
London’s grey skies call for a great trench coat, but rather than classic khaki, opt for something with a bit more personality, like this checker-print version. Layer it atop a slinky slip skirt and plain white tee, then add a pair of heeled ballet flats for a touch of height. Loop in a woven leather belt and carry a seasonless raffia tote for the ultimate transitional finish.
Pop of Purple
There’s no denying it: Pops of royal purple are everywhere—and on everyone—this fall. Like Vanity Fair’s Kia Goosby, make the bold hue the centerpiece of your next look by pairing it with simple all-black pieces. Think Arma’s slouchy leather jacket, a pair of early aughts-inspired capri pants, and finally, Jimmy Choo’s mesh pumps. Statement shades and a sleek black handbag complete the look, allowing the purple to do all the talking.
Here Come the Cummerbunds!
Once traditionally a men’s eveningwear essential, cummerbunds are now a favorite accessory of fashion girls everywhere—styled with everything from tailored trousers to blue jeans—and they don’t just have to come in black and white. Here, this showgoer kept the rest of her look relatively simple with easy denim, a crisp white button-up, and a pair of clean T-strap sandals, making sure her bubblegum-pink cummerbund starred front and center. Add Dior’s signature jacquard tote to the mix for a final flourish.
Technical Fashion
British Vogue’s Chioma Nnadi knows how to mix sport with high fashion. Whether she’s in her signature white trainers or donning a colorful windbreaker, her looks are never not at the top of our inspiration list. This LFW is no exception. Like the head of editorial content, style her two go-to pieces with tailored trousers, a colorful T-shirt, and a new must-shop handbag. Beat the London glare in a pair of Jacques Marie Mage square-frame sunglasses.
The Fall Fashion Formula
Can fall really start without a barn jacket cameo? Whether dressed down or, in this case, up, it’s the functional-yet-fashionable piece every seasonal capsule wardrobe needs. Take inspiration from this off-duty model and sport yours with an elegant black maxi skirt, a V-neck white tee, and, for a pop of print and playfulness, Toteme’s flashy zebra pumps. A suede handbag is another fall must—and this one from Miu Miu works overtime.
Orange You Glad
It’s no secret that royal purple and cherry red are trending for fall, but why not give vibrant orange a try? Wear the electric hue—by way of Cos’s crewneck sweater—with a satin slip skirt and Christen’s white crocodile-effect thong sandals. Then, take another cue from the street style set and pile on the personality with a colorful beaded necklace and pair of oversized shades.
Everyday Regalia
If you haven’t seen Khaite’s military jacket flooding your feeds, your algorithm’s about to change that. Here, the trending piece takes on a more everyday attitude with simple blue jeans, a white tank top, and classic black pumps. Savette’s sleek handbag keeps things streamlined, while Brilliant Earth’s tennis bracelet adds just the right dose of sparkle.
Loves Me Knot
Midi skirts for fall are made to be noticed—and this sweet bow-adorned style from Simone Rocha demands attention. Spotted outside the brand’s spring 2027 show, one insider wore hers with a simple grey tee, heeled thong sandals, and a chunky beaded necklace. All that’s left? Toteme’s snakeskin-effect clutch and a pair of fabulous silver earrings, like these from Bottega Veneta.
Zip It
Fall’s jacket trends are here, and none is chicer than the functional funnel neck. Stylish and practical, it’s the starting point for an effortless fall outfit formula—just add crisp white jeans and low-heel pumps like this showgoer. Phoebe Philo’s oversized aviators match the sporty aesthetic, while a pendant cord necklace and Celine handbag keep things sleek.
