10 Runway Trends to Know from Paris Fashion Week Spring 2027

Paris Fashion Week is the longest and, some might argue, most important of the biannual ready-to-wear circuit. With nine days of shows, the schedule is packed with couture houses, veteran designers, buzzy newcomers, indie favorites and everyone in between.

It’s a lot of clothes — it may be easier to identify the trends that didn’t show up on the French runways this Spring 2027 season. Instead, we picked out 10 that felt so fresh, or were so ubiquitous, that we felt they couldn’t be ignored: texture play via 3-D embellishments, netting and crinkled fabrics, cool takes on classic button-downs and rain jackets, revealing designs that put your abs on full display and more. Browse them all in the galleries below.

Petal Pushers

When it comes time to design for spring, designers must decide whether they'll eschew florals altogether or attempt to deliver them in a way that feels fresh. In Paris, many designers sought to push florals forward — literally — with 3-D appliqués and embellishments, and even one strategically placed pastie that practically jump off the runway.

Bubbling This Back Up

Good luck finding a seat on the subway wide enough for your voluminous bubble garments next spring. Designers had a lot of fun with the resurgent silhouette, resulting in puffed-out tunics at Acne, tiered pastel dresses at Chloé, billowing tulle gowns at Matières Fécales and more.

A Crinkle in Time

Big news for those of us who never feel like steaming our clothes: Intentionally wrinkly materials are all over Spring 2027 collections. Stella McCartney, Marie Adam-Leenaerdt, Alainpaul and others utilized fabrics like organza, georgette, taffeta and nylon that that tend to be stiff and crinkle easily; while others like Miu Miu, Maison Margiela and Hodakova seemed to manipulate fabric via wax and plastic coatings.

On the Flipside

What comes after Funnel-Neck-Jacket Fall? Popped Collar Spring. Alongside blazers and jackets, classic shirting was a big focus for designers this season, and many were styled with their collars flipped up — a trend anyone can achieve immediately. But most intriguing were the folded-over jacket lapels at Chanel, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton and Christopher Esber.

Icy Blue

While there were plenty of vibrant, fruity hues on the Parisian runways, we were most drawn to looks in this muted, icy shade of greyish-blue — seen everywhere from Carven to Cecilie Bahnsen to Tom Ford to Victoria Beckham.

Jump Around

A natural side effect of the sporty trend and budding resurgence of leggings and skinny pants, jumpsuits had a major moment this week. While Anrealage, Chloé and Junya Watanabe endorsed skin-tight versions; others like Tom Ford and Isabel Marant made cases for looser, more utilitarian styles.

Nothing but Net

Designers are always coming up with ways to make clothing that fails to conceal what's underneath it. For Spring 2027, Parisian designers expanded the fishnet concept far beyond tights — to pencil skirts, dresses, tops and more that veil skin and undergarments in a loosely woven texture.

Olive Juice

Olive green is set to do a lot of heavy lifting in our wardrobes next spring. The earthy color's sartorial versatility was on full display, skewing more utilitarian at Acne, Sacai and Jean Paul Gaultier, but totally glam at Alaïa, Schiaparelli and Mugler.

Rain on Me

With natural disasters on an upswing across the globe, it's no surprise that designers incorporated stylish weather-protective clothing into their spring collections. Chloé's transparent and shiny-coated raincoats were unforgettable. Practical-chic windbreakers and rain jackets also punctuated Alainpaul, Hermés, Lacoste and more.

Full Frontal

With visible bras dominating the first few Spring 2027 fashion weeks, Paris designers had to take things a step further by removing bras — and shirts — from the equation entirely. The chest and abdominal regions became a focal point for designers, revealed via wide-open jackets, strategic tummy cut-outs, bandeau "tops" and various other creative torso-baring configurations.
