Paris is buzzing! The fall season brings fresh trends to follow for autumn-winter. The mission for fashionistas this mid-season? Find colors that enhance a summer tan, reveal a little more leg, and hunt down THE versatile jacket to throw on in the morning. Among the spotted obsessions, we’re already crazy about the cow print splashed across accessories, the full denim look (but make it chic), checks and leather galore, not to mention satins and embroidery games—so many opportunities to play chameleon. Spotlight on these easy-to-adopt trends, already transitioned from the runway to the streets.
Bermuda Shorts or Nothing
Summer may be ending, but we still want to show off our tanned legs! Bermuda shorts have been everywhere this season… and we’re not ready to let go just yet. Chloé delivers a high-waisted, organic cotton, extra-wide cut version, styled with a jeweled belt and cropped jacket, instantly channeling the 70’s.
Satin Obsession!
Satin rules this season’s wardrobe, embraced by couture houses from Dolce & Gabbana to Alberta Ferretti to Chloé. But our favorite Ami Paris has us hooked with its midi skirt, sure to be everywhere this fall—especially in that signature sky blue we can already picture paired with a chunky cream knit.
Full Denim Look
We’ve always loved it casual, ripped, patched, and oversized. But this season more than ever, denim earns its couture stripes, worn head-to-toe in sleeker cuts, elevated by seductive details like a lavallière tie or exaggerated high waist. Hats off: La Redoute Collections reveals a deep-blue set that’s wildly desirable… and at a mini price.
Sexy Loafers
It’s been a while since we heard about heeled loafers! Yet they’re THE shoe trend this fall. Sexier, more flattering, they elongate the leg and pair just as well with a suit as with a chic dress. A true wardrobe staple, grab this glossy Les Tropéziennes model for under €100.
Holy Cow!
After leopard, why not be tempted by the cow print? Since Pharrell Williams’ Vuitton runway show and Queen Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour, this quirky pattern has been storming both runways and streets. Our advice? Bet on an accessory that adds punch to your outfit—like this & Other Stories bag.
Opera alla Scala
Welcome to 19th-century Milan! The splendor of gala nights at La Scala inspired Paul & Joe’s new collection, where prints are their true signature. We love this Toile de Jouy jacket in heavy cotton with a corduroy collar—a piece that will become our September uniform.
La Vie en Rose
Dusty pink is taking over Parisian wardrobes, adored for its softness. At Petite Mendigote, it appears on a mid-season openwork knit with polo collar and button placket, perfect worn alone or layered over a camisole.
Oversized Leather
We love everything about vintage-effect leather—and if it’s oversized, even better! At Sandro, snag this fashion XXL bomber in aged deep-chocolate leather before it sells out, perfect for highlighting pastel mid-season outfits.
Tartan Mania
From Thom Browne, who made it the centerpiece of his collection, to Burberry, for whom it’s an identity, tartan brings Scottish flair to fall-winter. Spotlight on this cashmere jacket by Kujten, ideal for braving the early autumn chill.
Victorian Blouse
More regal than ever, the white blouse is dressed up in embroidery and lace at Sézane. A piece that’s both timeless and classic, chic enough to elevate a denim skirt or bermuda shorts. A wardrobe must-have.
