To most Paris is the most fashionable city in the world. We have pulled quite a few fun trends for spring from the Paris runways so that you can dress like the French do.

Tiers

Flat tiers, layered tiers, off the shoulder tiers. They were everywhere!

Short skirts

Last summer it was daisy dukes. This summer its extreme short skirts.

Ruffles

Ruffles were a global trend that overtook runways around the world. If you invest in any trend, this is by far one of the biggest.

Crazy Shoes

In seasons past we've seen pistols and light bulbs adorn shoes. Though shoes were still pretty dope for spring, they were crazy in a more wearable way.

Sequins

Nearly every designer showed a flower print that was completely embroidered in sequins. But not gaudy sequins. Beautiful, delicate, feminine sequins that we cannot wait to wear!

Transparency

Again, another trend that seemed to be worldwide.

Fetish

So apparently the stores about kinky European sex are true. Okay we don't really know that as a fact. We're just taking a hint from all of the fetish inspired shows like Givenchy.

The heels at Christian Dior looked like they came straight from the ballet, complete with boxy, point-shoe-inspired toe-caps, little bows, and ribbon-like straps in a muted palette ranging from black to mauve. Chanel went for an edgy take on the t-strap heel, adding chunky lucite heels to ombre ankle-strap shoes in jewel-tone shades.

Stella McCartney tried out embroidered patterns in a palette of electric blue, white, and black, and Miu Miu delivered '70s-style jacket and trouser combos in a bevy of eye-catching hues. W

We can't wait to get our hands on these comfy-cool separates come Spring. Make sure to tune in for more fashion week trend reports from London, Paris, and Milan.
  • Cocoon-Sleeve Silhouettes at Paris Fashion Week Cocoon-Sleeve Silhouettes at Paris Fashion Week Play Paris Fashion Week was brimming with sartorial inspiration, but it was the newest iteration of the party dress - the one with cocoon sleeves - that emerged as the biggest trend we can't wait to try. Whether it was structured and oversized at Yves Saint Laurent, texturally intriguing at Stella McCartney, or divinely embellished at Lanvin, these soiree-ready frocks were making statements all over the runways in the City of Light.
