If there’s one way to get a read on what we’ll actually be wearing next season, it’s by examining the current street style trends. Yes, what comes down the runways is always important, but often, it’s what happens outside the shows and on the pavement that carries even more influence, especially in our day-to-day wardrobes. There’s just something about seeing real people styling trends for real life that makes them seem much easier to re-create.
The street style set—whether it’s editors, influencers, buyers or celebrities—have, for a while now, been masters of both following and setting trends. And although some looks can still be a little out there (any of the Loewe autumn/winter 2023 collection is a case in point), the majority are elevated takes on everyday outfits. So they’re our first go-to for clever styling tricks, unexpected combinations or hero pieces that ignite the trends we end up wearing for many years to come.
