I Spot Trends for a Living—5 Street Style Trends Taking Off in Paris Right Now

There’s an innate elegance that seems to flow through every Parisienne’s wardrobe. So, when Paris Fashion Week rolls around, I pay particular attention to the trends emerging from the French capital’s streets, knowing they’ll be among the most refined and directional of the season.

This time, I wasn’t disappointed. That Parisian polish was out in full force, with showgoers debuting a fresh wave of styling ideas and silhouettes that capture the mood of the moment. From styling updates to new-season tailoring, these are the five street style trends the French are embracing right now—and that I’ll be copying immediately.

The Chicest Street Style Trends From Paris Fashion Week

1. Jumpers as Accessories

Style Notes: Forget scarves and belts—this season, knitwear is working double-time. Paris’s most stylish dressers are looping jumpers around their shoulders or tying them casually at the waist, creating an intentional yet undone finish that feels distinctly French. Blending practicality and polish, whilst adding a flash of colour, a hint of texture and a touch of insouciance in one simple styling move, I don't think it will be long until this trend goes international.

Shop the Trend:

With Nothing Underneath

Cornwall Jumper

Style this around your waist or wear it with jeans for a cosy winter look.

H&M

Oversized Alpaca-Blend Jumper

This chic shade of slate-grey is so easy to slot into a capsule wardrobe.

Massimo Dutti

Cashmere Oversized Sweater

The chocolate-brown colour trend isn't showing any signs of slowing down.

2. Skirt-Suit Sets

Style Notes: Building on the rise of the pencil skirt trend, coordinated skirt suit sets have become the tailoring trend of choice in Paris. The trick to making them feel modern? Follow the lead of the street-style crowd by choosing sleek shades and pairing them with relaxed accessories; think slouchy bags or colourful shoes to tap into that French nonchalance.

Shop Skirt-Suit Sets:

M&S Collection

Jacquard Collarless Jacket

The collarless-jacket trend is taking off this autumn.

M&S Collection

Jacquard Mini Bubble Hem Skirt

Style with the matching jacket or pair this with a boxy tee.

Reformation

Chloe Two Piece

This also comes in a light-cream shade.

3. Funnel-Neck Jackets

Style Notes: If there was one outerwear trend that dominated the Paris streets, it was the funnel-neck jacket. Sleek, sculptural and undeniably elegant, this silhouette instantly elevates any look thanks to its elongated collar, which gives the illusion of a longer neckline. Seen in buttery leather bombers and streamlined wool jackets, it’s a shape that feels both contemporary and timeless and is sure to endure for seasons to come.

Shop Funnel-Neck Jackets:

Arket

Funnel-Neck Wool-Alpaca Blend Jacket

Be quick! I can't see this staying in stock for long.

Asos

Brushed Funnel Neck Coat

Honestly, this looks more expensive than it actually is.

4. Socks + Heels

Style Notes: One of the most charming styling updates from Paris Fashion Week? Wearing socks with heels. This playful pairing adds a preppy twist and a cosy edge to classic heels looks, softening sharper styles like pointed toes or stilettos.

Shop Socks and Heels:

Style these with heeled slingbacks to tap into the French fashion set's favourite autumn trend.

M&S Collection

5pk Cotton Rich Ribbed Ankle High Socks

These also come in two other colour palettes.

Miu Miu

Patent Leather Slingbacks With Buckles

Several seasons after their release, these remain a fashion-person favourite.

Zara

Slingback High-Heel Shoes

The glossy patent finish gives these such an elevated edge.

5. Low-Slung Belts

Style Notes: When fashion people weren't completing their styling with a jumper looped around their waist, they were turning to low-rise belts to add the final touch. Slung across the hips rather than cinched at the waist, they brought a subtle bohemian energy to outfits that felt entirely at home on Paris's streets.
