Paris Fashion Week SS26: Top Trends to Steal

Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 delivered some of the most exciting collections in recent memory. From romantic florals to sculptural tailoring, the runway tells us exactly what to expect in stores over the next six months.

Ruffles, But Make It Modern

Ruffles have graced every major Paris runway, but SS26 approaches them with an architectural mindset. Rather than the delicate, frilly ruffles of previous seasons, designers are using ruffles as structural elements.

The Return of the Mid-Length Coat

Knee-length and tea-length coats dominated the Paris streets in both trench styles and oversized wool versions. This length is particularly flattering — it elongates the leg without the drama of a floor-sweeping maxi.

Sheer Layering Takes Center Stage

Sheer fabrics layered over contrasting underlayers created some of the most striking looks of the week. Think chiffon dresses worn over tailored shorts, organza sleeves layered over fitted long-sleeve tops, and lightweight mesh panels that add movement and texture.
