The Top 5 Trends We Spotted at Paris Fashion Week

With blockbuster shows like Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton and Chanel, Paris always sends off fashion month with a bang. Epic locations and sets (think recreating the Pompidou Centre or a snowy ski chalet) are paired with equally #OTT collections. Fantasy was an undeniable theme of the week with secret garden florals at Dries Van Noten and Karl Lagerfeld’s final picturesque set at Chanel that helped us escape reality on a rainy Tuesday morning. But the dreamy escapes belied surprisingly practical pieces; shoes remain low, belt bags prevail and puffers don’t see to be going anywhere. Scroll down for our top 5 trends to look out for from Paris Fashion Week.

 

Bold Shoulder

If there’s one body part to accentuate this season it’s your shoulders. Bigger is always better, whether you’re going for rounded lifted shoulders or the sharp linebacker blazers favoured by Givenchy and Saint Laurent.

 

Floral Fantasy

Dries Van Noten created floral prints from photographs of flowers cut from his Antwerp garden. But the florals this season weren’t bright and springy, rather they were darker and more intriguing. These moody fall florals definitely don’t say playtime.

 

Cape Town

Miuccia Prada made a case for capes, sending models down the Miu Miu runway in multiple renditions of the style. Across the Paris collections capes shone as a popular style that eschews the ubiquity of streetwear in favour of something more sophisticated.

Checkerboard patterns in all different colour combinations  are the graphic print of the season. Playful in bright hues at Kenzo and Off-White but more subdued in a soft tan at Loewe.

Power Puff

As Canadians, we’re thankful the hardy puffer jacket isn’t going anywhere. Season aftesr season it seems designers are ready to one-up the status quo in favour of something new and even more fashion forward. Whether it’s cropped and colourful or full length metallic, the puffer is definitely a staple on the runway and real life.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
