From Scandinavians to Parisians: 6 Trends Every Cool Fashion Person Is Wearing

The last days of Paris Fashion Week have finally reached an end, and with that, we're able to call it a wrap on the S/S 23 fashion month. Given the sheer amount of showgoers, climate differences, and just different style aesthetics per location, you wouldn't expect there to be trend overlap, but there is. After combing through hundreds of photos by our trustee photographers, I can guarantee that the fashion set seems to be in sync more than ever. I was able to narrow down common themes throughout each week, whether they were styled in a Parisian chic manner or loud and maximal like a true Scandinavian. 

We've given you full trend reports of each city's street style set, but the six below are the ones that were strong enough to cross borders. Spotted were a vast array of trends—some looking as if they were plucked from the runway itself, like a striking pop of red. To find out the rest, you're just going to have to keep scrolling. You'll find what was worn by the most stylish attendees and an edit of shoppable pieces if you feel like trying them out yourself.

Red

Every season, there are always a few colors that stand out, but I haven't seen a color gain traction like red has since the era of Bottega green. Not only was chili red spotted on the runways of Tory Burch and Sandy Liang, but I also found the striking shade on a showgoer in at least every city.

Denim Everywhere

We've always been big fans of the Canadian tuxedo, but the look has reached new heights this fashion month. Instead of just a coordinating jacket and jeans, the streets were filled with denim coats, shoes, tops, and most of all, skirts.

Rosettes

Showgoers have a lot of looks to plan during fashion month, so rosettes are a simple and easy way to just add that special touch to a look.

Maxi Skirts

Full skirts, column skirts, denim skirts—every type of maxi reigned supreme during fashion month. They're much more practical than the micro minis of the past, so it makes sense that the trend was spotted across all the cities.

Clutches

I usually spot clutches at weddings or special events, so I was surprised to see so many on the streets as people headed to shows. And these weren't your average handbags either, as there was a range of styles from furry options to XL sizes.

After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
