Paris Fashion Week is always the grand finale of Fashion Month, where the most anticipated designers and collections come together to close out the season. As the last stop on the global fashion circuit, it’s no surprise that the Parisian runways are packed with some of the most groundbreaking trends of the year. From dramatic colour choices to timeless silhouettes, the city of lights continues to set the bar for what’s to come in fashion. Here are seven standout trends we are already borrowing from Paris Fashion Week’s fabulous shows. —Alexandra Aulicino
Forest Green
This rich, earthy hue is making waves in fashion this year, and Paris Fashion Week showed us just how chic it can be. While vibrant reds have often taken the spotlight throughout fashion month, forest green emerged as the unexpected hero in Paris. Seen on runways by Elie Saab and Victoria Beckham, this shade is perfect for adding depth to your fall and winter wardrobe. Whether in a luxurious silk dress or a structured blazer, forest green offers a fresh, sophisticated alternative to more traditional neutral colours.
1980s Style
The 80s are back, and they’ve brought power suits and voluminous party dresses with them. This season’s Paris Fashion Week saw a resurgence of exaggerated proportions, bold shoulders, cinched waists, and power tailoring that screams confidence. Designers like Saint Laurent and Stella McCartney embraced maximalism, crafting oversized wool-blend blazers and statement-making silhouettes. This era of bold fashion choices is all about making a statement, and it’s clear that the 80s are influencing the most exciting trends of the year.

Bangles
Chunky, oversized bangles were seen stacked on the runways at Chanel, and they’re making a strong return as one of the season’s must-have accessories. These bold pieces are a statement in themselves. Whether you choose a single, oversized bangle or stack several, this is an easy way to elevate any outfit. The key to wearing bangles in 2025 is the more, the merrier: think bold, chunky designs that bring an extra layer of interest to your look.

Opera Coats
Long, luxurious opera coats are making a comeback, but with a modern twist. Traditionally reserved for formal events, these glamorous coats are now being paired with both casual looks and evening looks creating a beautiful balance of elegance and street style. Designers like Givenchy showcased stunning double-breasted oversized coats in rich fabrics like satin and wool. Wear them over a casual outfit to instantly elevate your look, or save them for a special night out. Either way, opera coats are the epitome of chic sophistication.

Scarves
Scarves have always been a staple in colder weather, but this season just like last Fall/Winter they’re taking center stage as a key design detail. Whether draped over your shoulders or integrated into a jacket, dress, or top as an attachment, scarves are the ultimate way to add both flair and function to your look. Paris Fashion Week saw the accessory trend flourish, with shows like Coperni showcasing chic knit scarf tops. This is a trend that combines warmth, elegance, and style seamlessly.
Skinny pants
After years of seeing baggy jeans and wide-leg trousers dominate the scene, skinny pants are quietly making their return. It seems that what was once feared as a “past trend” has evolved into a timeless closet staple. Skinny pants are incredibly versatile, working well with nearly any outfit and available in various rises to suit different body types. These pants are an easy piece to incorporate into your daily wardrobe, as shown at the Acne show.

Ruffled tops
Ruffles are making a big comeback, and not just any ruffles—these are dramatic elegant ruffles inspired by history. From Victorian collars to modern interpretations, ruffled tops were seen everywhere on the Paris runway, especially at McQueen and Dior. This season a dramatic ruffled puffed-sleeve look will add texture and elegance to any outfit. It’s the perfect way to bring a touch of romance to your look while staying true to your style.
