Vogue's Street Style Face-Off: Fall 2026 Couture Trends

Vogue presents a 'This or That' face-off of street style trends from the fall 2026 couture shows in Paris, which wrapped up in July. The feature breaks down nine style dilemmas observed outside the shows, including pink (baby vs. bold), florals (3D vs. print), Chanel Métiers d'Art 2026 collection (top vs. skirt), tweed (sequin vs. matte), prints (zebra vs. cheetah), sun coverings (umbrella vs. parasol), sunglasses (wrap vs. wayfarer), leather (colorful vs. classic), and pants (capri vs. skinny). Paris-based critic Amy Verner notes that capris are the go-to style for French girls. The article highlights the prevalence of floral motifs, both printed and appliqued, and the dominance of Chanel's Métiers d'Art 2026 collection among street-stylers. Balenciaga's leather looks appeared despite high temperatures. The face-off format allows readers to choose their preferred trend in each category.
