With Fashion Month now in the rear-view mirror, the biggest Paris Fashion Week street style trends are still lingering in our minds. If New York’s looks were all about adding a hint of pizazz to an everyday outfit, Paris’s take felt a bit more down-to-earth—touching on fall trends we’ve seen on the runways, but with that classic French ease. (Think effortless elegance.)
Even with trends that may seem intimidating at first—take a skirt over pants as a prime example—with a little bit of inspiration (and maybe even a pick that does the styling for you), it’s much easier to imagine incorporating them into your everyday. Other key pieces we’ve had our eyes on this autumn, like capri pants and animal-print flats, enjoyed a big showing throughout the week and are simple additions to your fall wardrobe with the power to effortlessly transform your look.
Glamour’s Paris street style trends wish list
1. Capri pants
On the streets of Paris, showgoers were divided between a very Audrey Hepburn–coded slim capri-pants silhouette and something with a slightly baggier, more relaxed shape. With either take, our favorite way to style them for the months ahead is to pair them with oversized outerwear that contrasts with their cropped hems. Pair them with tall boots, or try a pair of heels for a dressier take.

2. Animal-print shoes
Animal print is a neutral in our book, which is why we love it as a subtle styling addition to a tailored, quiet luxury-adjacent look. One of our favorite shoe trends of fall 2025, leopard, snake, and zebra print enliven any silhouette you can imagine. If your style leans bold, try embracing the look full-on by pairing your fresh footwear with a matching jacket or top. Or for a more subtle styling surprise, simply wear the shoes with an otherwise pared-back look, like trousers and a trench coat.

3. Playful print-mixing
Print-mixing may seem intimidating, but it’s a relatively simple trick to pull off—and something you can achieve with what’s already in your closet. Styling a set of contrasting prints makes for a playful outfit, which is why it was one of our favorite Paris Fashion Week street style trends this season. (Stealth wealth, who?) Bottom line—you’ll look like you put in a lot of effort, even if it took you two minutes to pull your look together. Our tip: Try a coordinated color palette, and mix up the print sizes to keep the pieces from competing with each other.
4. Skirts over pants
Another simple yet impactful styling trick is to mix a skirt and trousers, a look that popped up all over Fashion Month. While many brands have done the heavy lifting to create a skirt-pants hybrid—skants? pirt?—you can also DIY the look. It’s especially effective when the skirt has a bit of volume or is made of a sheer fabric to really make the effect pop. Since your bottom half will be especially busy, keep things sleek up top with a simple tank, a plain T-shirt, or a sleek leather jacket.
5. Sporty touches
Good news for everyone who loves to feel comfy, even when dressing up: Sporty styles like track pants and polo shirts played a major role in the outfits among the Paris Fashion Week crowds. While these wardrobe staples might be styled with other comfy favorites like hoodies and sneakers for a casual day working from home, give them an elevated twist by wearing them with unexpected dressy styles, like a tailored skirt or pair of heels.
