- Paris Fashion Week is known for its standout street style, and Fall/Winter 2026 did not disappoint.
- From asymmetrical hems to espresso-brown hues to leg warmers, the fashion capitol never runs out of trend-setting inspiration.
After London’s avant-garde spirit and Milan’s unmistakable glamour, fashion month arrives at its final stop: Paris for Paris Fashion Week. There’s always a different kind of energy in this fashion capital–showgoers and street-style stars alike bring an effortlessly chic sensibility to the city’s winding arrondissements. This season’s schedule only amplified the buzz, with a lineup of designers bringing their A-game. From Jonathan Anderson’s starry garden runway for Dior to standout shows like Schiaparelli, Chanel, and Saint Laurent, the maisons came ready to impress. And the guests certainly followed suit.
Beyond the creative shifts and hundreds of RTW looks, Parisian street style remains one of the most exciting things to watch. And with Paris in the midst of a seasonal transition, fashion insiders leaned into outerwear with plenty of personality. Think everything from high-collars to sleek mohair picks, layered according to the city’s ever-changing temps. Aside from essential winter pieces, trends like asymmetrical skirts were frequently spotted, espresso-brown hues continued their takeover, and exposed midriffs added an unexpected edge to cold-weather dressing. The streets were filled with plenty of noteworthy, sartorially driven looks to pin, share, and save for inspiration.
Ahead, discover the nine style trends you couldn’t miss from Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026.
Asymmetrical Skirts
There’s something about an asymmetrical skirt that instantly adds dimension to your look. Especially when paired with something traditionally polished–like a crisp collared shirt–the uneven hemline brings just the right amount of flair to an otherwise sharp ensemble. Here, one guest styled a navy satin skirt with a grey button-down featuring exaggerated sleeves and white heels, striking the perfect balance between classic and statement-making.
Tailored Sets
Every fashion week, tailored sets shine. But this season, ditch the classic blazer-and-trousers combo for something more playful and spring weather-ready. Opt for a pleated skirt paired with a structured jacket for a more feminine approach. And as always, tights and a statement hat take things to the next level.
Waist-Tied Styling
Seen on the runways and now across international streets, tying a sweater (flannels have also been super popular!) around the waist is the ultimate styling hack. Whether you’re breaking up a busy outfit with a pop of color or keeping an extra layer handy for when the breeze hits, the trick is equal parts chic and functional. This guest finished her look with heels and a clutch, making the ensemble feel perfectly fashion week-ready.
Ultra Crop
Something I haven’t seen in a while? A lot of midriffs out! Bra tops and shorter styles ruled the streets as the temperatures began to rise. Proof that you can be cheeky and fashion-forward, the exposed stomach added a tastefully sensual touch to many looks. Whether paired with a long skirt (hello, high/low styling) or layered under a light jacket, the trend proves a little skin can go a long way.
Tonal Colorblocking
We all love a bold color-blocking moment, but this season’s guests brought a subtler twist: tonal hues. Earthy shades are layered head-to-toe, complementing each other while making a quiet yet undeniable statement. It’s a look that proves you don’t need loud contrasts to stand out.
Blooming Juxtaposition
Have many sides to your style? This season, contrasts are everything. A preppy rugby shirt flirts with an embellished floral skirt, balancing sporty edge with romantic femininity. Mix and match statement pieces for combinations that surprisingly work. Add your favorite ballet flats and a colorful bag to tie it all together.
Espresso Browns
Espresso brown continues to assert its enduring appeal on the streets. From furry outerwear to bags and accessories, this rich shade is a classic that harmonizes well with nearly everything. The shade can also act as a grounding color for extravagant looks. Go full monochrome for a sleek, tonal look, or mix with complementary hues (brown and pink have been my personal fav!).
High Collars
The higher the collar, the more your look gives “don’t look at me” (respectfully!). Funnel neck collars are having a moment–from New York to Paris, cool girls are making it happen. Spotted on A-listers like Bella Hadid and Victoria Beckham, this trend has proven its lasting power on the streets of Paris. Practical bonus: the high collar keeps you cozy, so there’s no need for any neck accessories like scarves. For styling, pair with a long skirt to contrast sporty outerwear, and top it off with sleek shades for instant polish.
Leg Warmers
I can’t scroll through Instagram without spotting leg warmers paired with heels, and apparently neither can the streets of Paris. A personal favorite of mine, this ’80s staple adds a whimsical, understated touch to any outfit. Not to mention, they’re super functional if you’re wanting to still sport some kitten heels in the cold! This guest styled her shoe-and-sock combo with a leather midi, white tee, and a black pull, creating a look that’s full of personality.
