Boldest Runway Trend

A Hot Mess
If you’re currently having a 365 party girl-worthy hangover, don’t worry. Unplug your steamer and feel confident shoving that T-shirt to the bottom of your dresser drawer, because wrinkles are so in. Don’t even think about buttoning a sweater all the way, or fully fastening a belt! You think you need a tailor? Absolutely not. Let your seams be undone.

365 Party Girl
Designers imagined the full spectrum of a true 365 party girl’s perfect night out. Picture the scene: you arrive to a rager in a glamorous outfit, then start to get a little sweaty on the dance floor. Perhaps your dress is rumpled or your hair’s gotten caught in a stray streamer. Hours go by. What happened? Once daylight breaks, you find yourself heading back home in last night’s clothing.

Check, Mate
It seemed like every kind of plaid walked the spring 2027 runways: houndstooth, plain check, you name it. Duran Lantink transformed a classic picnic blanket print into an ’80s-esque blazer and skirt set for Jean Paul Gaultier, while Marni kept things in a ’60s kind of mood. Nicklas Skovgaard’s fierce checked skirt suit had a furry friend on its right shoulder.

Admission of Kilt
This season, designers put skirts under the microscope in a major way, remixing the garment into as many variations as there are women who wear them. First up was Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons at Prada, who devoted their entire spring 2027 collection to skirts: knee-length, mini, A-line, pleated, embroidered, and everything in between.

The Gilded Age
Consider this trend the cousin of the one before it, especially when it comes to the ultra-luxe feel of each look. Saint Laurent delivered what felt like an entire collection of gold outfits, including the one shown here, which combined both gilding and brocade. At Gucci, the outfit was styled with a pussy-bow blouse and major sunglasses.

Baroque Beading
While we’re on the topic of more-is-more, ornate beading made a major statement in this season’s collections, both on ready-to-wear fashion and accessories. Chanel made a play on its own classic with a yellow two-piece set done entirely in beads, while The Row worked black beading onto a flowing blue top. Loewe took things into three dimensions with beaded florals that seemed to bloom right off the dress.

Let’s Get Loud
For spring 2027, subtlety is out, and clashing prints are very much in. Florals ran headfirst into plaids at Polo, while Chanel’s Matthieu Blazy created a masterwork in patterns from head to toe. And your favorite art teacher appears to have had a nervous breakdown—albeit a pretty chic one—at Prada and Jil Sander.

Long Live Dolly!
We lost a true original this year: Dolly Parton, whose music and idiosyncratic signature look inspired designers for decades. For spring 2027, it was clear some looks on the runways were made specifically with Ms. Dollywood in mind. You could practically picture Parton on stage singing “I Will Always Love You” in Schiaparelli’s glamorous pink satin suit with jeweled buttons.

Itty-Bitty Titty Committee
The girls are wearing bras as shirts now, and it’s official. We went from the no-pants trend of the last couple of seasons to this new take: the no-top trend. Bras were everywhere, in every form—as daywear and eveningwear, in all shapes and textiles, including satin, metal, and embellished.

’70s Beach Vibes
Decade dressing gets a makeover every season, but our current obsession? The elevated bohemian spirit of Venice Beach. Designers leaned into a chic ’70s SoCal aesthetic: The Row paired perfectly slouchy slacks with a draped, sequin-fringed antique top, while August Barron delivered total “bungalow bro” charm. Topping it all off was Celine’s bright sunshine dress, styled to perfection with oversized sunnies and a statement monogram bag.

Aloha Attire
Consider the Hawaiian shirt officially upgraded. When stealth-wealth icon Loro Piana drops its own aloha button-down, you know the trend is here to stay. This season’s runways are diving deep into aquatic aesthetics: Miu Miu paired sporty rash guards with crystal-encrusted bras and mini-shorts, while Loewe’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez turned post-swim towel-draping into stunning, beaded works of art.
