Outfits spotted in Paris always serve as style inspiration, but especially right now when all of the coolest fashion girls descend on the city for fashion week. So, what are we seeing? The beginning of the week kicked off with Jacquemus and many of the show’s guests wore pieces from the designer. The most popular silhouettes included the brand’s long dresses with high slits and scoop necks or turtlenecks. Both dresses emerged as a clear It piece among on Paris fashion scene.
But we’re also seeing some of the biggest trends for fall start to appear. Snakeskin—with its luxe finish and cool factor—is hugely popular. Bright colors are also big on the streets of Paris where fashion girls are wearing everything from bold shades of orange to pretty pastels. Ahead, we’re breaking down the best looks from Paris fashion week so far and the pieces to wear them yourself.

I’ll let you in on a little secret. I log onto Net-a-Porter every single day that I’m at the Who What Wear office for a dose of fashion inspiration. Not only does the retailer have an amazing section of new arrivals and a curated collection of up-and-coming designers scouted for its “vanguard” that I’m constantly checking out, but they also have incredible styling ideas that never fail to inspire me. For this reason, I find myself scrolling through Net-a-Porter on the regular.
In particular, I’ll go to Net-a-Porter to get ideas for how to style particularly challenging trends. For example, neon—undoubtedly one of the biggest trends of the moment. I watched the bold colors come down runway after runway this fashion month but still questioned if it was right for my personal wardrobe and how I would actually pull it off IRL. But, after seeing an electric green turtleneck layered under an oversize T-shirt with jeans over on Net-a-Porter, I began to see how I could actually pull it off.
Ahead, I’m breaking down more of the cool fashion styling ideas I’ve picked up from Net-a-Porter and will be testing out for myself for the season ahead.

It’s dress time! From daytime frocks to party-ready picks, today I’m putting a special spin on my Trust Me—Buy This series and making it all about dresses—because honestly, doesn’t it feel like an endless search? It definitely does for me, but since I’ve spent my fair share of time researching, buying, and, of course, wearing them, I figured I’d put some of that effort to even better use and share my favorite finds with you.

Right now is the time of year when overhauling feels like the norm. We’ve just gotten accustomed to summer officially ending, we’ve broken out a jacket or two (even if we have to shove them back in the closet on a rogue 80-degree day), and it feels like a time to get serious—whether that means laser-focusing on the goals we want to achieve before the end of the year or getting better informed to cast our vote in the midterm elections next month. No matter how you define it, reflecting and reevaluating can be an incredibly powerful—as well as challenging—task, and this inspired us to turn to real stories within our own Who What Wear community.
We asked you about undergoing a major style overhaul.
