The conclusion of the fashion month was marked by the final week in Paris, where editors, designers, stylists, influencers, and celebrities from all over the world gathered. It is here that iconic French brands with a rich history present their collections, and attending their shows is the dream of many. Saint Laurent, Hermès, Schiaparelli, Christian Dior, and other fashion houses have finalized the trends for the upcoming season and set the tone for what women and men will be wearing.
While there are certain recurring styles like boho chic and leather total looks, Parisian designers have also showcased unique trends not seen in New York, London, or Milan. Let's take a closer look at what French brands have surprised us with and what the most stylish girls will be wearing soon.
Firstly, forget about regular pants or miniskirts - it's time to go higher. Designers are paying more attention to leather clothing, and it's becoming more prevalent with each season. Leather is no longer limited to individual items; it's now seen in full outfits, suits, jumpsuits, and outerwear. Wearing such outfits requires character and self-confidence.
Another trend that caught our attention is plunging necklines. This design has always been considered feminine and sexy, accentuating the bust, elongating the neck, and capturing attention. Dresses, jumpsuits, and blouses with this daring neckline were seen on the runways.
In New York, designers showcased an unexpected blue color trend, which has breathed new life into this once mundane office shade. Paris Fashion Week highlighted the trend of dusty pink - a muted and romantic tone that complements different skin undertones.
For the spring and summer 2025 season, it's all about showing off your legs. Maxi skirts and dresses have taken a backseat, and Paris dictates that it's time to wear flawless minis. These can come in various shades and prints and can be complemented with turtlenecks or colorful tights.
Doll dresses are gaining popularity and are being incorporated into various styles. Loewe, for example, presented a retro-themed collection featuring miniature trapeze dresses with winged sleeves. Chloé continued to embrace the boho chic aesthetic, focusing on A-line silhouettes in dresses and balloon skirts.
Classic beige trench coats are still loved and worn by many, despite some criticism. These coats have been part of our wardrobes for decades and continue to be a timeless piece. Brands insist on the longevity of the maxi-length beige trench.
Transparent clothing continues to captivate hearts with its beauty and elegance. Designers and stylists keep experimenting with sheer garments and creating unique looks. For example, Alainpaul featured a mannequin wearing a sleeveless white fabric that covered the chest with the model's hands. Carven opted for a more modest approach with a semi-transparent blouse over beige lingerie.
The fringe trend, which emerged in the spring-summer 2024 season, inspired by the cowboy aesthetic, continues to dominate. Bella Hadid, always on top of fashion, has embraced the trend and is often seen wearing cowboy-inspired outfits. Fringe can be found on leather jackets, shirts, dresses, boots, and bags.
Lace was a prominent feature on the Paris runways, with Saint Laurent showcasing unique dresses made of different types of lace in contrasting shades. Ann Demeulemeester presented delicate blouses reminiscent of another era, with lightweight collars and flowing sleeves.
Lastly, draping remains a prominent trend, not only seen in tied dresses that create playful gathers but also in pleated leather skirts, tops, shirts, and pants. Pleated skirts are once again leading the fashion trends.
