7 Street Style Trends Everyone is Wearing in Paris, New York, Milan, and London

And just like that, fashion week is over. Well, at least until everyone reconvenes again in September. Over the last four weeks, we’ve clocked plenty of rising trends from the runway and reported everything you need to know about fall 2024 fashion. But while we’ll have to wait another six months to start shopping for what we just saw on the runways, there’s no waiting period to get inspired by the cool trends we spotted show-goers wearing in New York, London, Milan, and Paris.

Fashion week is the breeding ground for the coolest on-the-rise trends and this season was no exception—the street style scene debuted plenty of innovative new styling tricks and forward accessories and it doubled down on everyone’s favorite spring It color, burgundy. Ahead, we’re dissecting the top seven fashion week trends that insiders wore to the fall shows and, of course, giving you shopping inspiration on how we’d go about achieving each look.

Doused in Merlot

Just the like on the runways, the street style scene was unanimous in their approval of a single It color this season. Burgundy, black cherry, merlot—no matter what you want to call it, stylish showgoers turned out plenty of great looks that were doused in the rich hue. Instead of a single pop of burgundy, though, they opted for full head-to-toe monochrome for maximum impact.

East to West

The street style scene is already giving us a strong indication of which spring handbags will become It items for the season. The buzzed-about styles of the moment including the Alaïa Le Teckel, Bottega Veneta Long Andiamo Clutch, and Prada belt bag were all well-represented and they point to a rising trend in handbags that feature an oblong, East-West shape.

Sweater Styling

The styling idea of draping a sweater over your shoulders is nothing new, but this season, insiders took the idea to another level by using their sweaters instead of traditional scarves. They tied their knits purposely off-kilter atop blazers, coats, and jackets, to give them a more casual, thrown-on feel. It begs the question: Is a classic pullover sweater the new scarf?

Head Cases

Even though designers were presenting their collections for what we’ll want to wear the latter half of the year, attendees didn’t wait to mirror the runways. They sported all manner of hats and headgear, but especially soft caps and pillbox hats that tap into the old-school glamour of the 1950s that seems to be especially relevant right now.

All Wrapped Up

The looks people wear to the February and early March shows always bring plenty of outerwear inspiration. This season, it was all about a cape or wrap moment. Whether it was a cape, coat, coordinating scarf, or wool wrap.

Pops of Poppy

Burgundy may be the new buzzy color trend on the block, but bright poppy red isn’t fading away just yet. The striking red certainly dominated on the street with many opting for a single red item to pop against the rest of their look, be it through a scarlet bag, saturated tights, or a bright knit.

New Necklines

If they weren’t wearing some sort of cape, wrap, or sweater drape, show goers were striking chic silhouettes in funnel-neck jackets that bring an air of sophistication.
