The Spring/Summer 2026 season hit the runways hard — full of surprises, creative debuts, and yes, a few viral moments. But the best part? Many of the looks we saw at Paris Fashion Week SS26 can already be worn now.
Get ahead before Zara & Co. start dropping their dupes. Here’s your edit of the standout Paris Fashion Week SS26 pieces to bring straight into your wardrobe.
1. The Chanel White Shirt
Chanel White Shirt
Another white shirt? Not quite. Matthieu Blazy, Chanel’s new Creative Director, reinvented the men’s tuxedo shirt with a slightly raised collar and double-front panel in crisp cotton.
The piece was created in collaboration with Parisian shirtmaker Charvet, founded in 1838, a true French craftsmanship institution that once worked with Gabrielle Chanel herself for her Ballets Russes costumes in the 1920s.
Style Detail: To make it even more heritage-chic, have your initials embroidered on the left side, just between the chest and the waist.
2. The Cropped Blazer
Chanel Cropped Blazer
The cropped blazer is the new life injected into the pant suit. Strong shoulders, 80s vibe — pure confidence.
Style Detail: Roll up the sleeves and go for chunky gold jewellery: bold earrings, thick chains, maybe both.
3. The Low Waist
Chanel Low Waist Skirts
Low-waist skirts defined Matthieu Blazy’s nonchalant and fluid silhouette at Chanel. Start hunting for an easy wrap skirt that sits below the waistline.
Style Detail: Pair it with a cropped blazer or cardigan and let your shirt or top peek through underneath — relaxed but intentional.
4. The Avocado Green Pumps
Chanel Green Pump
A pop of colour can instantly lift a look from boring to brilliant. For a modern twist, swap the classic red for the irreverent avocado green, spotted on Chanel’s SS26 runway.
Style Detail: Don’t stop at the shoes — let the pop of green appear in brooches, earrings, scarves or handbags too.
5. Brogues With Dresses
Chanel Brogues
Fashion loves contrast. The tension between masculine and feminine, delicate and rough, is timeless. At Chanel, embroidered silk dresses met brown or burgundy brogues, and somehow it worked perfectly.
Style Detail: For daytime, add coloured tights for extra edge. At night, go bare-legged — and pray the heating’s on full blast.
Verdict
You don’t need to wait for SS26 to arrive; the best looks are already ready for real life. These pieces are timeless investments with a touch of Parisian attitude, proving once again: fashion is all about timing.
