In 2026, short trends seemingly exist on two polar opposite ends of the spectrum: micro mini and long. I think of the long short trend as an homage to '90s and early 2000's when in the form of baggy athletic shorts and jorts, and to the '20s when in the form of tailored, more business casual shorts—this is all to say that the long short trend is vast.

In 2026, short trends seemingly exist on two polar opposite ends of the spectrum: micro mini and long. I think of the long short trend as an homage to '90s and early 2000's when in the form of baggy athletic shorts and jorts, and to the '20s when in the form of tailored, more business casual shorts—this is all to say that the long short trend is vast.
While promoting her film The Drama, Zendaya arrived at Jimmy Kimmel Live! in a gray blazer and Bermuda short set from Moschino's Fall 2026 collection. This look made a strong case for long shorts as workwear, rather than a casual piece thrown on for a hot summer day.
For the Calvin Klein show back in February, Brooke Shields made a case for the trend throughout all seasons. To make her long shorts cold weather appropriate, Shields paired them with a matching suit jacket giving the pairing a seamless look, and tall black boots.
On the Spring/Summer 2026 runways of Balenciaga and Maison Margiela, low-slung, ultra baggy long denim shorts were prominent. At Balenciaga, jorts were paired with chunky flip flops, belts, and statement jackets, the perfect look for a slightly breezy summer night. Over at Margiela, the line was towed between casual and office wear with jorts paired with blazers and cowboy boots.
Long tailored shorts made notable appearances on the Spring/Summer 2026 runways of Talia Byre and Ralph Lauren, but styled in distinctly different ways. Byre's collection featured linen shorts paired with a matching hooded jacket and chunky, nomadic boots for a casual look. At Ralph Lauren, long floral printed tailored shorts were dressed up with a white button up shirt, black peak-a-boo bra, a statement necklace, and woven healed sandals.
Now, we can't help but spend our days shopping for long shorts in every style imaginable.
For a pair that can we worn in colder climates, too, these woven wool-blend SACAI shorts are perfect: a bit of a barrel shape, high-waisted, and complete with a belt detail.
These statement shorts by Jean Paul Gaultier are just begging to be worn to a music festival—the cutouts and detachable belt make the perfect amount of a statement.
I can so clearly picture these being styled both casually and formally. The elastic waist and pinstripes are akin to boxer shorts, but with the right shoes and top, they instantly become work appropriate.
Mentally, we're all at the beach—and in my mental picture we're doing nostalgic childhood activities: searching for seashells, building sandcastles, and freely frolicking without fear. This is evident through the rise of shell jewelry, the resurgence of the pearl necklace, and now the rise of the color aquamarine.
First thing's first, let's establish what exactly aquamarine is. Aquamarine ranges from a tropical ocean blue to a turquoise—essentially anything reminiscent of sea glass and sea wat
Mentally, we're all at the beach—and in my mental picture we're doing nostalgic childhood activities: searching for seashells, building sandcastles, and freely frolicking without fear. This is evident through the rise of shell jewelry, the resurgence of the pearl necklace, and now the rise of the color aquamarine.
First thing's first, let's establish what exactly aquamarine is. Aquamarine ranges from a tropical ocean blue to a turquoise—essentially anything reminiscent of sea glass and sea water. Aquamarine is a color that conjures up visuals of precious gemstones and feelings of calmness that only a warm beach with rhythmic waves can provide.
We're not the only ones dreaming of sunnier days and the Mediterranean sea. Burberry, for example, proved to also mentally be at the beach through their Spring/Summer 2026 collection. A case was made for aquamarine crochet dresses for a summer day out and aquamarine leather coats for breezy spring nights.
Dior's Spring/Summer 2026 runway featured muted aquamarine more akin to sea glass in the form of a dress consisted of teeny tiny flowers. Prada, on the other hand, had us considering pops of rich colors through accessories to complete our spring and summer looks. In the case of Prada's Spring/Summer 2026 collection, aquamarine opera gloves were the ultimate statement maker.
I took Emporio Armani's Spring/Summer 2026 collection as a full on aquamarine endorsement. Aquamarine blouses featured squiggled embroideries of different colors, sheer netted aquamarine sequin pants made a strong case for statement pants in general, and matching skirt and top in a muted aquamarine featured embroidered beads and was accessorized with layers of beaded necklace, one which featured aquamarine beads and stones. How much closer to a co-sign can we get?
The aquamarine trend made its way to red carpets, too. For the 2026 Oscars, nominee Kate Hudson wore a strapless bejeweled aquamarine gown with a peplum waist by Giorgio Armani Privé. From afar and in photographs, the dress almost appears to be constructed out of tiny pieces of sea glass.
For the Super Mario movie premiere in Kyoto, Japan, Brie Larson embraced a deep version of aquamarine in a Rodarte silk crepe bias dress.
So, which shade on the aquamarine spectrum is getting you most excited for sunnier days?

Isabel Bazzani is a luxury stylist and personal shopper based in Paris, known for sourcing exclusive pieces for her high‑net‑worth clients. Ahead, she reveals the hidden process behind securing the most-covetable runway looks.
For the past decade I’ve worked closely with clients from all over the world as a personal shopper. These are the kind of women whose wardrobes are mapped out and locked in months before the season even begins, and who don't blink at the price tag of a custom couture gown. That process starts at Fashion Week. Tucked away inside private showrooms scattered across Paris, the collections are displayed immediately after the show. The same looks you’ve just seen walking the runway are suddenly within reach for close-up inspection, though only for a select few.
Some of these looks are one-of-a-kind and won’t make it to production; others will simply never be seen again outside these rooms. That’s part of what makes this process feel so unique, especially when you know that what you’re looking at won’t exist like this for long. Inside each appointment, each piece begins to find a home. While the rest of the world won’t discover these collections for another six months, my clients are already making decisions selecting, securing, and shaping their wardrobes in real time. Ahead, I'm giving you a glimpse behind the curtain into how it all works.
How a Runway Looks Becomes a Private Wardrobe
In the days following the shows, buyers from the world’s top department stores and boutiques cycle through these appointment-only spaces, studying every look before placing their seasonal orders, building out what will eventually be sold in stores. But there is another layer to these appointments that most people don’t see.
These meetings are also reserved for a different kind of customer, often referred to as the VIC (Very Important Customer), whose purchasing history with a brand gives them early access to what the rest of the world will discover months later. They don’t wait to see what’s in stores—instead they choose directly from the source. That’s where I come in.
As a personal shopper working with clients across different time zones, I’m inside these showrooms photographing and filming everything in detail. The way the fabric falls, the exact tone of color, the finish of a button and the way a garment sits on the body. Within minutes, every look is sent out. A WhatsApp message, a voice note, a quick upload of content to my lookbook platform, and clients review each piece almost instantly, asking questions and confirming decisions within hours. It’s surprisingly seamless, as if they were right there in the room with me. And from there, things move fast.
At houses like Dior, pre-orders typically need to be confirmed within 24 to 48 hours of the show. Miss that window and the piece may be gone. Other brands allow a little more time, maybe a week or occasionally two, but the pace is always the same: immediate. A 50 percent deposit secures the item and sets production in motion. Then, months later once it’s ready, the balance is paid and the piece is delivered, usually ahead of store delivery so the client can enjoy it before anyone else. Other houses like Chanel work slightly differently, often allocating through a VIC pre-request system, producing only those items specifically ordered by clients. The principle remains the same across all brands and its access is reserved for a very small circle.
The final result is always so exciting to watch unfold, with wardrobes fully imagined and confirmed months in advance. Without fittings or even seeing the pieces in person, clients are building entire looks for future vacations, galas and moments that haven’t happened yet. By the time the collections arrive in-store, they have already moved onto planning the next season before this current one has landed.
The Pieces the Public Never Sees
One of the biggest misconceptions about Fashion Week is that everything presented on the runway will eventually be available to buy. This is far from true. Some pieces are produced in such limited quantities that they effectively only exist for flagship stores or to those who commit early. Others sit at price points so high that production doesn’t even begin unless a client has secured it early with pre-order. Then, there are pieces that are simply too complex for commercial consumption. Sometimes it might also come down to the materials used, like an intricately hand-pleated skirt or a jacket requiring hundreds of hours of artisanal handwork. These aren’t pieces that can be easily scaled or reproduced.
Other times it’s about wearability. A silhouette might be too exaggerated, too sheer, too sculptural to translate into everyday life. So by the time the runway version reaches retail, it has been softened, adjusted and reworked into something more casual. Yet inside the showroom, you have the opportunity to secure that original version, allowing that fashion moment to live on exclusively through one's wardrobe. For many, this is part of the whole appeal: owning something quite literally no one else will.
A perfect example of this kind of ultra-exclusivity was the Chanel Celestial Globe Minaudière from Matthieu Blazy’s debut collection, which became one of the most iconic accessories of the season.Priced at €25,000 and never intended for wide release, it was only available through pre-order almost immediately after the show and only by invitation. By the time the collection launched in-store, they were essentially gone. Now the demand for them is stronger than ever, yet all that remains are extensive waitlists and the quiet satisfaction of those who secured them early.
The Season's Most-Requested Looks
Every season has its standouts, the pieces that privately circulate between clients and the ones that everyone is asking about as soon as the show. This season included the red Alaïa crocodile dress priced at €50,000, alongside the beautifully pleated skirts crafted from 30 meters of fabric—pieces that felt more like objects of art than clothing.
At Rabanne, there were intricately constructed chain pieces and eccentric furs reaching upwards of €60,000. Over at Miu Miu, a handful of looks were pulled in the final moments before the show by Miuccia Prada and were later reserved exclusively for clients as true one-of-ones.
Victoria Beckham’s sheer green, black, and orange gowns may remain confined to the runway entirely (only time will tell); same with Magda Butrym’s feathered dresses and skirts with a price point well beyond the brand’s usual territory.
And then there were the closing embroidered gowns at Balenciaga, plus the embellished bags and feathered outwearwear. These pieces realistically will not reach retail—maybe one for Avenue Montaigne—otherwise, it’s straight to the archives.
That’s often how it happens: pieces simply vanish after their runway debut.
The Customization Element
Beyond exclusivity, there’s another layer that makes pieces more personable with the ability for VICs to co-create. Designers like Thom Browne invite clients to reinterpret their favorite looks by adjusting the fabrications, colors, proportions and often reworking the narrative behind a look entirely. One coat this season had hand-painted scenes of Browne and Andrew Bolton in the snow with their dog and personal rituals. This became a blueprint for clients wanting to translate that same level of storytelling into something uniquely their own.
That same energy also extends into jewelry with brands like Tabayer, where clients are commissioning pieces that sit somewhere between fashion and high jewelry to make it personal.
When Past & Future Collide
At the same tim,e there’s been a noticeable shift towards vintage. Alongside the forward-looking energy of the runway, there’s now a parallel world unfolding across Fashion Weeks as private vintage showrooms are presented, curated by some of the most respected dealers globally.
Each has their own niche, like 100Percerto’s focus on early Prada, or Bethielle who traces the creative years of Galliano, Gaultier, Cavalli, and MajcoxJovem who hunts the vibrant energy of the 2000s.
For some clients, this is where things become even more interesting. Because while pre-orders offer access to the future, vintage offers something else entirely: a piece of the past waiting for a new chapter.
The Key To Access
After years of working across these showrooms, the process becomes instinctive. You learn how to move through a collection quickly, how to recognize what matters, what will resonate, and what is truly worth the investment. Sifting through each collection, I focus on the pieces that feel right for each client and what will integrate seamlessly into their lives, while still feeling exciting and entirely their own.
This is ultimately the goal. It’s not just about acquiring something rare, but to build a wardrobe that is truly unique to each individual. And while the rest of the world catches up to the new season, that process for me and my clients is already complete.
I am not someone who cares much about semantics when the question of my favorite color comes up. It will always be black. I know it's technically a shade! I do not care! There is a reason the LBD has transcended time and trends. Nothing feels sexier than a little black outfit. With this in mind, and since summer is practically licking at our heels now that it's finally June, I've been thinking more about all black outfits for summer.
Summer colors are out in full force. This season, we're look
I am not someone who cares much about semantics when the question of my favorite color comes up. It will always be black. I know it's technically a shade! I do not care! There is a reason the LBD has transcended time and trends. Nothing feels sexier than a little black outfit. With this in mind, and since summer is practically licking at our heels now that it's finally June, I've been thinking more about all black outfits for summer.
Summer colors are out in full force. This season, we're looking towards aquamarine/Tiffany blue, baby pink, yellows and most obviously white, and while black is most often associated with the colder months, we're petitioning that all black outfits in summer are arguably the unsung, simple outfit formula that still seems to check all of the boxes.
Throughout the decades, some of the most iconic warm weather looks have been all black. Who could forget Angelina Jolie's famous Tomb Raider red carpet look, where she wore a black muscle tank and black leather pants to match her jet black hair, similarly to Gabbriette Bechtel, who is frequently seen stepping out in ensembles to match her signature raven hair.
Then there are the golden girls, a '90s Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Anniston, and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy who were captured in various looks of the shade, particularly championing the black cotton button up shirt. More recently, stars like Hailey Bieber have stepped out on more than one occasion wearing all black looks, as simple and effective as a tank top, simple suit pants, and a pair of matching black flip flops.
There is something about an all-black look that feels both simple, sexy, and effective without going down an ultra-basic, predictable route of the white tank, blue jeans combo. It can easily transition from day to night, looks clean throughout the day, wont reveal any dreaded sweat patches, and doesn't rely on any passing trends to get the job done. If you're stuck on how to feel elegant yet laid back this summer, with the tiniest touch of goth, look no further!
Back in 2016, it was all about the chunky sneaker. As a freshman and sophomore in college, I loved wearing my insanely bulky Fila Disruptor sneakers with my little dresses, always either vintage or from Urban Outfitters. What a time to be alive. Over the past few years, though, sneaker silhouettes have become slimmer and slimmer—now, the low profile sneaker is all the rage.
The low profile sneaker trend has been reflected on countless runways in recent years. At Dries Van Noten's Spring/Summer
Back in 2016, it was all about the chunky sneaker.

Over the past few years, though, sneaker silhouettes have become slimmer and slimmer—now, the low profile sneaker is all the rage.
The low profile sneaker trend has been reflected on countless runways in recent years. At Dries Van Noten's Spring/Summer 2026 show, the brand presented red, yellow, gold, black, brown, and blue low profile sneakers and made a case for the style's versatility. Sneakers were paired with formal dresses and casual bloomers alike. Fendi's Spring/Summer 2026 collection did the same, forcing us to reconsider the idea of the style as strictly casual.
Now, it seems it's time for us all to stock up on slim sneakers for the sake of our spring and summer wardrobes. For those days that you just need to be comfortable. For your ease, we've rounded up the best of the best low profile—happy shopping!
I might be biased as the proud owner of these (plus a silver pair), but theses are arguably the perfect sneaker—so much so, that you'll want them in several colors. The branded tongue on the back is the perfect finishing touch.
Again, I might be biased as the owner of this exact pair, but at least I'm speaking from experience. Trust me when I say this: these are so comfortable. Plus the low-profile silhouette is both a nod to vintage sneakers and a signal of where sneaker trends are headed.
As someone who constantly browses the Paloma Wool site and covets from afar, these are the latest item to catch my eye. Available in a range of colors including muted reds and pastel yellow and pink, these have me considering colored sneakers from spring and summer.
A fan favorite ballet flat brand has entered the sneaker game—but hasn't compromised their aesthetic one bit. These sneakers still feel dainty and are complete with satin laces which help keep the ballet-core aesthetic alive.
From lilac to yellow, Dries Van Noten is encouraging us all to add a pop of color to our spring looks via shoes. But this is my argument: red sneakers are having a major moment. Regardless of what color you choose, these suede and leather sneakers deserve a spot in your rotation.
A true classic. First released back in 1999 for Formula 1 racers, Puma brought these back in 2024. Now, it's tough to go a day in Brooklyn without seeing at least one girl in a pair. Available in 13 color-ways, some neutral and some bold, and at a relatively reasonable price-point, these seem like a no brainer to me.
For me, the pebbled rubber soles are everything. Modeled on traditional running sneaker styles, these feature textured-leather and suede trims. Plus, the neutral color-way of this particular pair will have you throwing these on with anything and everything.
We all know and love the forever iconic Balenciaga City Bag—but did you know that they exist in the form of shoes? I can say this with confidence: these are surprisingly comfortable. They're available in 7 colors, some leather and some suede, but this ballerina pink just speaks to me.
There's one major selling point for me here: the lace up detail on the back akin to a corset—so precious. The perfect ballet flat and sneaker fusion and available in both metallic silver and gold, these might offer the shine that your outfit is missing.
Dries Van Noten, once again, is asking us to wear colorful sneakers this season. These remind me of a bowling shoe in the most chic way possible. Made out of glossy eel-effect leather and featuring white trim, these will put a striking finishing touch on any look.

There are many days when all the creams, serums, masks, and conditioners in the world won’t help your skin and hair look its best. Yes, it’s frustrating, but that’s when your arsenal of beauty tools comes in to save the day. Whether your second-day hair needs a touch-up, or you’re battling a bit of residual puffiness from last night’s ramen and beer dinner, the right roller, hot iron, or LED device can make all the difference. Plus, investing in a quality tool means you can reuse it over and over again—no more desperately scooping the last of that cream out of the jar or throwing away a single-use sheet mask. If you’re in the market for your newest skin- or hair-care tool, allow our 18 favorites to help guide you.
"The device is truly non-invasive and painless, it covers larger areas efficiently (huge win for neck and chest) and is backed by solid science on low-level laser therapy. Plus, there’s no risk of irritation, even on sensitive skin. If you're serious about addressing neck aging without needles, fillers, or downtime, the LYMA Laser Pro delivers." - Tanya Akim, Beauty Contributor
"I've been trying to stick to a consistent LED mask routine, and this one from Currentbody is my go-to. It's soft and pliable and molds perfectly to my face, and is also easy to fit into my suitcase while traveling. My skin looks brighter and firmer afterwards, too (plus, it's backed up by a boatload of scientific studies)." - Faith Xue, Editor-in-Chief
"My pick is a little more analogue: the Lesse Stainless Steel Gua Sha. I love the cooling feel of this tool and truly feel like a stringent gua sha routine with this is not only effective, but enjoyable too. Plus it won't break if it happens to fall off your countertop!" - Ella O'Keeffe, Senior Fashion Editor
"I’ve found myself reaching for this more often than my Dyson lately. It’s incredibly easy to use, heats up quickly, and gives my hair an instant refresh in just a few minutes, which is usually all the time I allot myself for styling." - Natasha Sheridan, Social Creative Lead
"I love my Shark DePuffi, especially for when I'm traveling. It's a tool that instantly makes me look and feel more refreshed after a long flight, an early call time, or a night with less sleep than I'd like to admit. The cooling setting is my favorite for waking up tired under-eyes and reducing puffiness, while the heat setting feels incredible for relieving tension after a long day." - Kala Herh, Social Strategy Lead
"While I was partially influenced by the it girls on Instagram posting reels of themselves using this plus Medicube's PDRN Pink Peptide Serum, I also genuinely believed that this would work well on my skin. I was right! My products are absorbing more efficiently and, in turn, my skin is softer, more hydrated, and more glowy." - Bianca Asare, Associate Editor
"Do I look crazy when I use facial cups in the morning? Absolutely yes. But I swear, they are the absolute best at getting your blood moving, bringing oxygen to the skin, and minimizing puffiness. I just apply a nourishing facial oil, then glide the cups in an upward and outward motion along my jaw, cheekbones, and forehead, then use the smaller cups to circle my eyes. Bye-bye, sallow skin." - Hannah Baxter, former Senior Beauty Editor
"My hair is an interesting combination—it’s wavy, color-treated, thick, and fine, which means I never really know how much heat is safe to use when styling it. I’m always afraid of causing undue damage, which is why I love this T3 iron, which uses advanced technology to determine which of the nine heat settings is right for your hair based on length, texture, and color. It also has a flat, smart-touch interface, which is très fancy, and it’s super lightweight, so my arm doesn’t get tired while I attempt to create the perfect S-wave." - Hannah Baxter
"If you’re constantly battling puffiness, like me, then a gua sha stone is a must for your beauty tool kit. I use it in the same direction as I do the facial cups to get the lymph fluid moving, and then I take the smaller side and use it under my ear and jaw to drain that lymph node down my neck. With regular use, your face will look more lifted, sculpted, and positively radiant." - Hannah Baxter
"God bless this wonderful little—but very mighty—tool. I learned about it from my facialist at Face Gym in Noho and think it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made in the last year. I use it two to three times a week and see a noticeable difference in face definition, reduction of puffiness, and overall tightening." - Jessica Teves, former Head of Brand
"Whenever I’m feeling extra puffy, I turn to these very reliable cryo face tools from Georgia Louise—they help with inflammation and also, if I’m being really honest, days when I’m also experiencing really bad allergies!" - Jessica Teves
"This is my ride-or-die. No other tool in my arsenal gives me as dramatic results as the ZIIP does. If you haven’t yet delved into the world of at-home microcurrent, you are missing out. The ZIIP is especially fantastic because they have an app with pre-programmed tutorials to follow along with, so even the most novice beauty lover can partake in the microcurrent club." - former Head of Creative & Production, Abby Miller
"There is no beauty tool more luxurious or relaxing than this facial steamer. I actually look forward to nights where I clear my schedule and just plant myself in front of my steamer and pretend I am in a spa." - Abby Miller
"This crazy little device is meant to mimic the knuckle massage that facialists do when you get a professional facial. It's a great way to instantly de-bloat when your face is feeling extra puffy." - Abby Miller
"I toss these bad boys in the refrigerator (or freezer if I’m feeling really crazy) and add a few droplets of Supernal Cosmic Glow Oil to get the balls rolling, no pun intended. It’s sort of shocking seeing the magic of a good 15–30-minute lymphatic massage. These have been serious game changers for me." - former Associate Creative Producer, Halle Lagatta
"This mask has become the cherry on top of my Sunday Spa Routine. I like to use the blended setting and rest my eyes for a minute while the mask does all the work!" Halle Lagatta
"When I’m feeling extra puffy or in need of some wrinkle preventative treatment, I grab this bar and smooth my problems away! If only every skin-care concern could be erased away with gold..." - Halle Lagatta
"A Kansa wand is for sure one of my desert-island beauty staples. It is an Ayurvedic metal alloy tool that not only assists the skin in lymphatic drainage, but also balances the skin’s pH (an ideal two-in-one combination, if you ask me). I use this every morning and night, and throughout the day when I tend to experience tension headaches or the effects of my TMJ. It’s a simple tool that feels heavenly as it traces its way along my face." - former Beauty Writer, Isabella Sarlija
"Repeat after me: Lymph nodes exist throughout the body, not just the face! Just as we massage our faces to support its lymphatic drainage system, we must not neglect the lymph nodes on our bodies. I use this body gua sha stone to help keep the skin on my arms and legs firm and plump. I love that it’s huge in comparison to other gua sha stones, as it makes scraping the skin on my stomach, legs, and back a breeze. This stone also helps to relieve my sore muscles the day after a long run." - Isabella Sarlija
"I’ve suffered from acne for most of my adolescent and adult life, during which time I was a serial picker. As we all know, popping pimples can unleash undue damage to the skin and cause some long-lasting acne scars that are a pain to champion. I have my acne at bay these days, but I love to reach for this device whenever I feel a hormonal bump coming to the surface. This device uses a small electrical current to *literally* zap acne into oblivion. The electricity oxygenates the skin, which eliminates acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation." - Isabella Sarlija
"To be honest, most days I am too lazy to pull out my blow-dryer, so I have been leaning into air-drying. With long, thick hair, it can take hours for my hair to dry naturally. This towel from Act+Acre has been a game changer to my hair routine. My hair air dries much faster, and the microfiber towel eliminates damage and breakage—a win-win for the lazy-girl hair routine." - former Senior Marketing Manager, Kelsey Dobbs
"I have been in a casual relationship with dry brushing for several years now, and have vowed to take it more seriously. Before I hop in the shower, I use this to dry-brush my body (always brushing towards the direction of my heart) for increased circulation, lymphatic drainage, and exfoliation. This brush is easy to use and gentler than some of the others I have tried." - Kelsey Dobbs
"This facial roller is one of my all-time favorite beauty tools. I run this tool over my face on mornings when I am feeling extra puffy or have enjoyed one too many margaritas—it feels like an at-home spa treatment for under $25!" - Kelsey Dobbs
Trench coats had a big moment during the Spring/Summer 2026 season last year. On more runways than we could count were trench coats aplenty–classic trenches, cropped trenches, leather trenches, if you can think of a style of trench coat, chances are that it appeared on the Spring runways last September and October.

Trench coats had a big moment during the Spring/Summer 2026 season last year. On more runways than we could count were trench coats aplenty–classic trenches, cropped trenches, leather trenches, if you can think of a style of trench coat, chances are that it appeared on the Spring runways last September and October.
Saint Laurent offered up a series of ultra-light nylon versions in assorted jewel tones, Maison Margiela and The Attico gave us cropped versions to covet, while at Bottega Veneta, Louise Trotter created layered leather versions for her debut at the Italian house.
Now that we have one foot firmly in Spring, we are rethinking our outerwear, swapping big coats for something a little lighter in both colour and fabrication. As we revisit the classic coat silhouette in time for the warmer months, one question remains: how to style a trench coat. So below, we’re rounding up 5 ways to style a trench coat for Spring.
Buttoned To The Top
We love when a trench coat reaches its full potential by being buttoned all the way to the neck, or “to the top” as one social media post about Lily Rose-Depp famously quoted. Let the trench coat do the talking and leave the rest concealed.
You no longer have to be cast in The Matrix to pull off a leather trench, which provides an element of added warmth and attitude to an outfit. We love these examples from Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Tess Thompson, and Jenna Ortega to add a little edge to an everyday look.
Cropped trench coats were everywhere on the Spring/Summer 2026 runways, from Maison Margiela to The Attico, Saint Laurent and Burberry, classic trench coats were slashed at the waist (or higher) for the ultimate cool-girl approach to a more traditional silhouette.
Should you not be a fan of a classic beige trench, consider a black or navy option instead. Frequently touted by Zoe Kravitz, a darker colour offers alternative opportunities for styling, and adds a sense of elegance to an everyday look.
There is no better way to appear more put together than a monochromatic look, and this applies to trench coats too. Take a leaf out of Kendall Jenner’s book and pair your trench with matching pants for a cohesive look.
Amelia Gray is the epitome of Anthony Vaccarello's Saint Laurent girl: sexy, sultry, and the life of the party.

Amelia Gray is the epitome of Anthony Vaccarello's Saint Laurent girl: sexy, sultry, and the life of the party. She gets ready to the soundtrack of Lana Del Rey, Hannah Montana, Addison Rae, and the H2O theme song (IYKYK) before slipping into none other than custom Saint Laurent for the biggest fashion night of the year—for this year's Met Gala, the dress was black and sheer in all the right places. "The body is the medium, not the outfit. This look lives in the tension of in-between: reveal and conceal, softness and strength. It allows my body to exist as both the accessory and the art," Gray said ahead of the red carpet. "There’s a fragility to it, but also a quiet power. Light femininity meets something darker, more emotional. To me, this is what femininity really is the coexistence of all our versions at once. This is my interpretation of a modern goddess."
For makeup artist Sam Visser, balancing what he knows and loves about Vaccarello's Saint Laurent with soft ethereal elements was top of mind. The inspiration for this years Met Gala look began with Botticelli paintings. "A lot of our mood board was paintings and a lot of renaissance art," Visser says. "Botticelli paintings and very ethereal references. We were really inspired by the way water looked in paintings and the colors that were used." The goal was simple: to make Amelia Gray look like a mermaid on land, while providing a synergy between Saint Laurent and YSL beauty. "I'm a huge fan of what Anthony does for Saint Laurent," Visser says."So I was kind of taking the aspects of my insight of the ready-to-wear brand and mixing it together with what YSL Beauty is about and trying to make that as organic of a synergy as possible." So, for this glam, it was all about reflection and highlights on her eyes, lips, and cheeks. First, YSL's soon to be released Skin Affair foundation provided a glowy base. Then, the All Hours Hyper Bronzer and All Hours Luminize Highlighter really went to work. On the lips, the Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick in scenic brown and Loveshine Lip Oil Gloss worked together to plump, define, and offer a glassy finish.
For a bit of extra ethereal energy, Visser whipped up what he refers to as the 'reverse smoky eye': "On her eyes, I used all the palest, lightest tones to kind of reflect the light and bring brightness to the face and the body," he says.
In terms of collaboration, Visser and Gray have the special type of relationship where photos are constantly texted back and forth. For this look for example, photos of abalone shells were shared through text—there was no confusion, but rather an immediate understanding and mutual willingness to experiment and play. "I can send a picture of shell to her and she'll be like 'yes, that's the reference,'" Visser says. "Abalone shells and the color variations within those were one of our biggest references for the makeup tonight."
The look would not have been complete without a good, defined lash curl—and a little touch of YSL's Lash Latex for definition purposes. The end result was a character the duo created together through art and nature references, and listened to music to get into the mindset of before sending Amelia on her way: regal, mermaid-esque, sexy, and ultra feminine.
Spring is a glorious time for so many reasons. Chirping birds, the air smells good, feels good, flowers are blooming, New Yorkers are finally happy, etc. Chiefly, we do not have to haul ourselves around the city wearing heavy layers as a means of not freezing to death. Soon, we won't even have to layer at all, but for the months up until that happens, plus the cooler evenings that still require a jacket, the funnel neck jacket trend is one we can't escape from.

Spring is a glorious time for so many reasons. Chirping birds, the air smells good, feels good, flowers are blooming, New Yorkers are finally happy, etc. Chiefly, we do not have to haul ourselves around the city wearing heavy layers as a means of not freezing to death. Soon, we won't even have to layer at all, but for the months up until that happens, plus the cooler evenings that still require a jacket, the funnel neck jacket trend is one we can't escape from.
During the Spring/Summer 2026 shows last September and October, funnel neck jackets were introduced as the outerwear option du jour. It became clear, that as soon as it was warm enough, we'd be up to our necks in leather and cotton jackets, all with high collars.
The utilitarian silhouette offers a less traditional alternative to the classic trench coat— spring's favorite outerwear trend—nodding to workwear trends and practicality, with high collars protecting us from elemental gusts and spring showers. The notion of protective clothing is no new phenomenon as it pertains to the geopolitical state of the world, and in times of upheaval, it's natural that we turn to silhouettes that cocoon us from the elements in a similar way that armor once might have.
On the runways, these shapes were offered in leather from Balenciaga, Khaite, and Alaïa for Spring/Summer 2026, while elsewhere, cotton versions appeared on Victoria Beckham's runway, which saw a heavy cotton canvas jacket in ultramarine blue and classic Khaki, it was all about utilitarianism, a theme that carried through at Tibi and Chloé's SS26 shows.
Below, all the funnel neck jackets we're shopping for spring.
While her big sister Kendall had a itty bitty little nip slip, Kylie Jenner was fully undone on the Met Gala red carpet—intentionally, of course. Her look for fashion's biggest night was custom and courtesy of Schiaparelli. The look, which we by our forever expanding standards consider a naked-dress, consisted of a nude corset that appeared perfectly sculpted to her frame with faux nipples underneath and a belly button detail to allude to full nudity and a voluminous butter duchess satin skirt
While her big sister Kendall had a itty bitty little nip slip, Kylie Jenner was fully undone on the Met Gala red carpet—intentionally, of course. Her look for fashion's biggest night was custom and courtesy of Schiaparelli. The look, which we by our forever expanding standards consider a naked-dress, consisted of a nude corset that appeared perfectly sculpted to her frame with faux nipples underneath and a belly button detail to allude to full nudity and a voluminous butter duchess satin skirt with natural baroque pearls carefully embroidered (for thousands of hours!) and featuring an additional corset laid overtop, alluding to her dress having come fully undone. The undone dress sat low on Jenner's hips, allowing her insanely snatched waist to have its moment. The look was perfectly aligned with the theme and focus on dressing—and undressing—the human body.
That wasn't all, though. The "Costume Art" theme calls for major, over the top jewelry moments and Jenner didn't disappoint. To complete the look, she wore an antique silver necklace adorned with pearls and rhinestones, along with matching earrings.
Frag heads, rejoice: Bottega Veneta just dropped a new fragrance line. The Alta Fragrance Collection are connected by Bottega Veneta's "Intrecciato duo" concept, each weaving together one scent from Italy, another from a different country, and resulting in a scent that's international and worldly. The scents are all about balance: lightness with richness, citrus notes with woody notes, unexpected pairings, and quintessentially Italian notes, like stracciatella.

Frag heads, rejoice: Bottega Veneta just dropped a new fragrance line. The Alta Fragrance Collection are connected by Bottega Veneta's "Intrecciato duo" concept, each weaving together one scent from Italy, another from a different country, and resulting in a scent that's international and worldly. The scents are all about balance: lightness with richness, citrus notes with woody notes, unexpected pairings, and quintessentially Italian notes, like stracciatella.
Coveteur got a firsthand look at the fragrances at an exclusive editor preview a few weeks ago, and we were especially impressed by Bare Morning, a powdery scent featuring sandalwood notes that smells like clean skin, Slow Rise, a balance of roses and clary sage meant to spark childhood nostalgia, and Velvet Steps with the most distinct note of syrupy Italian plum accord and in a moody deep purple color. Ricordami, the stracciatella scent, was a grown-up gourmand that was sweet without being overbearing, and was the favorite of our Editor-in-Chief, Faith Xue.
Those who have been following Bottega Veneta know this isn't the House's first foray into fragrance.The Bottega Veneta Eau de Parfum was long considered the IYKYK signature scent, until the release of its 2024 fragrance collection inspired by a day in Italy, with its sculptural bottles, marble pedestals and cult-favorite scents, like Colpo Di Sole and Come With Me. This is, however, the house's most expansive fragrance launch to date (and at a more accessible price point, too).
The bottles are glass interpretation of the the house's signature, iconic weave, tying everything together. Complete with wooden caps and gold caps akin to Venetian buildings, they're classic, traditional, and worthy of a front row spot on your vanity.

When you think of the brand Marc Jacobs, "The Tote Bag," the iconic, award-winning Daisy fragrance, those color-blocked snapshot crossbody bags, and the beauty brand that shuttered in 2021 to the dismay of cool girls far and wide likely come to mind. Soon enough, the name Marc Jacobs will once again stir up thoughts of colored eyeliners, metallic eyeshadows, and sharp bronzers—because, as of today, Marc Jacobs Beauty has returned and on June 1st, it will be ready to shop. In its original iteration, products like the Highliner Gel Eye Crayon, O!Mega Bronzer, and coconut-infused primer were cult favorites. The packaging was black and glossy, the products were fashion-forward rather than aimed to "correct," and there was an inherent edge to the brand in line with Marc Jacobs in general. While some of those aspects remain true, Marc Jacobs Beauty's second iteration is new and improved.
"I think about beauty the way I think about fashion: it’s an area for creativity and self-expression," Marc Jacobs says. "Marc Jacobs Beauty represents joy, and is a celebration of how we can use makeup to express ourselves through color, through texture, and shape.” Upon viewing the collection and its offerings, the rejection of clean beauty is very clear. Instead, color and creativity and boldness are called for, as well as the embracing of a grungy New York City aesthetic that Jacobs himself is so familiar with. Each product was formulated to be city-proof: tough enough to withstand the ever changing seasons, as well as the different climates we may experience in NYC throughout the course of a single day—the muggy, humid streets to an air conditioned office with a distinct chill, for example.
The first release of the collection consists of the Draw This Way Eyeliner, Born Star Eyeshadow, and Flashes Mascara, all available in matte, metallic, glitters, and duochrome shades, as well as the Joystick Blush Stick (a multi-use balm for the lips and cheeks) in pinks, oranges, reds and purples, the Legally Bronze Bronzer in a range of 8 shades, the Money Shot Highlighter Gel in a blue shade with a notable pink reflection, and the Heart On Lipstick in neutral, pink, red, and purple shades. Both back in the mid-2010s and in 2026, Marc Jacobs is co-signing maximalist makeup.
And, in true, modern, Marc Jacobs fashion, the packaging is as playful as ever (colors, stars, hearts and, of course, daisies), items meant to elevate your routine and evoke joy, and the products don't necessarily come with instructions—rather, intuitive play, mixing and matching, and using products for what they perhaps weren't intended for are all encouraged. Because in the world of Marc Jacobs, there is no right way of approaching fashion or beauty. “My version of beauty is different from other people’s, because I’m different from other people," Jacobs says. "These are the things that I love—the things I want to see more of, the things I want to encourage in others."
We got a sneak peek of the launches at a preview from Jacobs himself. Keep scrolling to see the products we predict will be the next cult hit.
