7 Fashion Trends in Paris this Autumn
Autumn is in the air, Paris Fashion Week recently concluded, and everyone is buzzing about the looks on the runways. If you’re looking for some style inspiration for this autumnal season, look no further. Sport any of these seven trends (and evergreen fall staples) to look trendy, chic, and timeless in the City of Light.
Leopard print
Leopard print has always been an autumnal and winter staple, but the animal print has surged in popularity this season and was seen on many fall ready-to-wear runways. In Paris, a fashion capital of the world, stand out and demonstrate your fashionista insider knowledge by donning some sexy leopard print. Silk skirts and cocktail dresses are a good way to wear this style. Or, for a more discreet look, tie a leopard print scarf in your hair, around your neck, or on your purse.

Trench coat
Trench coats are one of those evergreen autumn staples that go with anything and elevate any look. Always sophisticated, always sexy, and always chic, a well-fitted and chic trench coat is perfectly Paris and a great way to pull together your outfit while also protecting yourself from the cool October air and a smattering of Parisian rain.

Powder blue
Harry Potter fans who especially loved seeing a French wizarding school, Beauxbatons, appear in the books in films, will love the fact that powdery blue – similar to the blue hue of Beauxbatons uniforms – is enjoying “a moment.” While it may seem an unusual color for this time of year (when burgundy, black, brown, olive green, and grey are more often seen), powder blue injects a surge of life and joy into any sartorial choice. Enjoy the fun of fashion by wearing this trendy color this season.

Boho chic flowy looks
French fashion house Chloé is having a major moment and is arguably responsible for the current return of the “boho chic” trend, which was regularly spotted in the early aughts on trendsetters like Keira Knightly, Sienna Miller, and Nicole Richie. Since Chloé creative director Chemena Kamali’s appointment in October 2023, Chloé has become a big part of the fashion conversation. In the 1952-founded French fashion house’s latest Paris Fashion Week presentation, flowing, ultra-feminine, fairy-like dresses and blouses made their way down the runway. To look on trend this fall, wear a Chloé blouse or dress, or, the next best thing: a more affordable option that mimics the Chloé look so well no one will know the difference.

Butter yellow
Like powder blue, butter yellow is a deliciously named color that is very on-trend this season. Incorporate a pop of this smooth and rich-looking yellow in the form of a purse, a scarf, or a sweater to look both classic and current.

Roomy blazer
Fashion is cyclical, and everything that was once in fashion will fade out then come back in fashion. It’s just the nature of the fashion beast. Look no further to the wide-legged trousers that are currently seen everywhere, forcing out the once-popular skinny jeans and leggings look.
Another return to be enjoyed is the roomy blazer that is reminiscent of something the “90s supers” (Cindy, Naomi, Linda, Christy) might’ve worn for their “supermodel off duty” look. If you wish to look tragically hip (in a good way), wear a roomy blazer in powder blue or butter yellow, and pair it with straight-legged or wide-legged jeans.

Plaids
Plaid is another pattern that’s often seen during this time of year, so for the fashion-inclined, it’ll be no surprise to see it on this list. Do like the Parisians – and, like popstar Taylor Swift, who recently wore a Vivienne Westwood plaid dress to a Chiefs game – and don your plaid with pride.
