Fashion Trends 2027: What the Runways Say (and How to Wear It)

The spring/summer 2027 shows in New York, London, Milan, Paris and Copenhagen took place in September and October 2026, and fashion press coverage points to a few clear directions. This roundup summarizes the most repeated themes and how to wear them with clothes you already own. (Pinterest's annual trend report is usually published in early December; we'll update this once it's out.)

1. Quiet luxury steps back, maximalism steps up

Several outlets described the season as a move away from understated "quiet luxury" toward more color, texture and personality. See quiet luxury is over and maximalist fashion.

How to wear trends without buying everything

Pick one or two trends that fit your style, look for versions in your closet first, and buy only the piece that unlocks several outfits. More in how to wear trends from your closet.

Trends worth skipping (unless you love them)

Ultra-low-rise trousers and very literal costume-like looks were part of the runway conversation but are hard to wear daily. If a trend needs a whole new outfit to work, it's usually a sign to admire it rather than buy it.
