Fashion Week: the 5 major fashion trends that will shape our wardrobes in 2027

The spring-summer 2027 shows have just wrapped up in Paris, after New York, London and Milan. From one capital to the next, the same ideas keep coming back: lightness, sport made chic, fabrics that move, bold blue and a newly defined waist. Here are the 5 trends heading for our wardrobes, and where to see them in Paris.

1. Light sheerness: tulle, mesh and the « naked dress »

This is the most widely shared trend of the season. At Hermès, Nadège Vanhée layers mesh and ivory tulle over opaque bases (Boutique Addict). Victoria Beckham designs sheer pleated dresses trimmed with pearls, and Carven, in Kai Nesselrath's first collection, also plays with sheer effects (Numéro). In London, Simone Rocha and Richard Quinn make tulle their star fabric.

How to wear it:a sheer skirt or shirt over a nude tank top and shorts. Tulle also works for daytime, with a fine-knit sweater.

2. Sportswear goes chic

Sport leaves the locker room. Miu Miu pairs crystal-embroidered bra tops with reworked joggers, and reissues the New Balance RC150 sneaker. Lacoste shows for the first time on the centre court of Roland-Garros, with cropped polos and low-rise joggers. At Loewe, windbreakers and collared shirts show the influence of « gorpcore », the technical outdoor style.

How to wear it:fluid joggers with a tailored blazer and loafers, or a cropped polo with a midi skirt.

3. Fabrics that move: fringe, feathers and daytime sequins

Clothes are made to be touched as much as looked at. Isabel Marant, showing in the courtyard of the Palais-Royal, piles on fringe and sequins. Balenciaga, under Pierpaolo Piccioli, applies haute couture techniques (bias cuts, embroidery, fringe) to ready-to-wear. Valentino trims its dresses with ostrich feathers. In New York, sequins are worn during the day with a tank top or Bermuda shorts (Who What Wear).

How to wear it:one textured piece per outfit (a fringed bag, a sequined skirt) with plain basics.

4. Cobalt blue, pink and chocolate: the 2027 palette

Cobalt blue, close to Klein blue, dominates New York (Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein Collection). In Paris, Givenchy by Sarah Burton sets electric blue against black. In Milan, the sky-blue Oxford shirt replaces the white shirt at Tod's, Jil Sander and Gucci (Who What Wear). Pink, powdery at Marni or fuchsia in London, and chocolate brown (Hermès, Miu Miu) complete the palette.

How to wear it:a cobalt blue piece with chocolate brown, an unexpected and very 2027 pairing.

5. The return of the corset and the defined waist

After seasons of loose volumes, the waist is back. Valentino, under Alessandro Michele, offers silk corsets in bright blue, yellow or pink. In New York, Altuzarra and Khaite propose more romantic corsets, with peplums and appliqués. In Milan, the belt becomes the key accessory, wide and obi-style at Alberta Ferretti, decorative at Ferragamo. Givenchy cinches its jackets worn over jeans.

How to wear it:a wide belt over an oversized shirt or jacket, rather than a literal corset.

Paris as a runway backdrop: the addresses to know

This season, the fashion houses took over the city's most beautiful venues, many of them open to the public the rest of the year:

• Palais-Royal courtyard (1st): Isabel Marant.

• Palais de Tokyo (16th): Rick Owens, « Stone » collection.

• Louvre basements (1st): Schiaparelli, paying tribute to the historic atelier on Place Vendôme.

• Carnavalet museum gardens (3rd) : Maje.

• Place des Victoires (1st and 2nd): the new AMI boutique.
