The spring 2027 fashion-show season officially wrapped in Paris last week. Now what to make of everything we saw? We asked a handful of our favorite fashion insiders, from retailers both regional and global, to reveal their notes on standout trends, designers to know, and splurge-worthy investments for the months ahead.

What trends have you been seeing?

Brooke Bobb, V.P., fashion director at Nordstrom: “Skirts! Thank you to Mrs. Prada, who reminded us this season that a skirt is as versatile and comforting as your favorite T-shirt. I love the idea this season that a skirt—mostly knee-length, some embellished, all comfortable and unfussy—offers a sense of lightness and freedom. We don’t need any more strict, skinny, tight tailoring.”
