Paris Fashion Week Fall 2024 Street Style Definitely Lives Up to Its High Expectations

Much like the Met Gala is the Oscars of the fashion universe, Paris Fashion Week street style is the pinnacle of fashion month. Sure, New York, London and Milan supply a ton of aspirational outfits. But the City of Light takes things to another level. It's like everyone saves the best for last. Paris Fashion Week Fall 2024 street style doesn't disappoint with everyone from models to attendees bringing their respective A game.

Once again, you can tell which show they're attending/participating in based on their ensembles. Take Christian Dior. The French fashion house's Spring 2024 collection was almost replicated look for look. From the faded, acid wash-esque denim sets to the cream-colored lacy embroidered dresses to all of the Eiffel Tower prints created through the use of "radiographic printing and dye effects." It was like the presentation received an encore.

Mob wife dressing is still sought-after. It must be downright freezing over there because there's a run on faux and real fur coats. Interestingly, not everyone followed through on the ongoing TikTok trend. Beneath all that fluffy outerwear are more hip pieces, like camouflage pants, revealing pearl-accented bra tops and graphic tees. Proving the phenomenon's ability to stick around, albeit with a few small yet arguably necessary tweaks.

Those not wearing fur embrace leather or tailored wool coats. Occasionally, blazers double as jackets, whether because they offer satisfactory levels of warmth or a coat will just get in the way of the lewk is unclear. (Taking into account, however, that many street style stars still manage to flash some strategic skin has us believing our hypothesis that it's a concerted sartorial effort and has nothing to do with the weather.) Those colorful Courrèges vinyl jackets are also in full force. Most likely because the wearers are on their way to the fashion house's Fall 2024 show.

Neckties and even tuxedos are proving popular. Not at all surprised by the former, but didn't expect the latter. Although if there's ever a time when a necktie isn't dressy enough to suit the occasion, it's Paris Fashion Week. Tights are clearly a requirement. They come in bright colors, especially red, along with black and white. Coquettish dressing shows no sign of slowing down as bows are still everywhere you look. They decorate both hair and clothing, including a bow-heavy suit. Mixing brown and black, often a true fashion faux pas to the non-street style set, continues its dominance. While monochromatic outfits offer a possible and perhaps safer alternative.

Street stylists want to direct some attention up top, which can be quite the task when your entire ensemble is designed to make a statement. They accomplish this feat with eye-catching headwear and hairstyles. Naturally, there are berets (it is Paris, after all), but there are also furry toppers, beanies and scarves, both the silk kind and cotton or wool iterations, wrapped around heads. Pink hair and braids are both trending, although we're kinda surprised we aren't seeing more wide black headbands since they're trending up on the runways. Maybe next street style season?
