For days, all eyes were on Paris Fashion Week for the fall 2026 season. From Chanel's detailed sets to Chloé's round-neck jackets and Stella McCartney's textured coats, the luxury runways showed a host of fall looks that said "très chic."
However, off the runway, on the streets, fashionistas opted for a lighter, spring-like approach, dressing for warmer temperatures. One participant was photographed in capri pants and a cropped jacket, while another paired a light coat with a midi skirt, giving the look a touch of typical French style. Both looks were completed with spring's hottest footwear: high-heeled pumps.
With warm temperatures and spring blooms arriving, the streets of Paris are a source of inspiration and we suggest using them as a reference for clothing combinations.
The eight styling tricks that dominated Paris Fashion Week this season are:
1. Pointed heels
First seen on the runways of Balenciaga, Jil Sander and Toteme, the platform shoes are now a street trend. Pair them with a slim jacket, a slit skirt and a structured shoulder bag.
2. Classic jeans
Straight-leg jeans are the perfect base for everyday wear. Pair them with a white T-shirt and black leather jacket and add eye-catching accessories for a complete look.
3. Coat
For colder days, a long, warm coat is ideal. Pair it with ballerinas, a high-neck dress, and a bag with metallic elements for an elegant look.
4. Bright red colors
The red trend continues to dominate street fashion. A cherry-colored jacket can be combined with other stylized pieces for a sporty look.
5. Neutral tones
A simple, neutral look with a leather and white base is perfect for quick combinations. This will allow you to dress quickly and stylishly every day.
6. Short skirts and jackets
Cropped jackets and skirts are a big trend for spring. Pair cropped jackets with capri pants for a unique effect.
7. “Five to nine” clothing
For girls who have after-work activities, a tailored suit and a comfortable tank top are the perfect choice for dinners or social gatherings.
8. Layers of the skin
Although leather is usually associated with fall and winter, it also works well in spring when paired with light skirts, ballerinas, and pastel bags.
