I always think about Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week as if it were the cooler, older sister to all other Fashion Week events. Simultaneously dramatic and exuberant but equally polished and refined, the week-long event promises abundant theatrics and exquisite design and thus attracts a crowd of equally effervescent essence.
Inspired as ever by how the French dress themselves, naturally, I was all the more intrigued by the street style across Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week 2024. From dramatic jewels to lingerie-inspired layers, read on to discover the five street style trends that France's most stylish were wearing this week.
5 STREET STYLE TRENDS FROM PARIS HAUTE COUTURE WEEK JUNE 2024
1. EXTRAORDINARY JEWELS
Style Notes: Statement jewels were huge news on the streets of Paris this week. Skirting the dainty styles that have dominated for seasons, more was definitely more, and oversized earrings, eye-catching necklaces and glove-like ring stacks were out in full force.
SHOP STATEMENT JEWELLERY:
This elegant horse pendant is inspired by the Horses of Ares in Greek mythology.
A playful finishing touch to any summery look.
Stack this up with your other rings or wear on its own.
