At fashion month, we got a preview of the trends that are set to be big for spring 2026—as well as how style is unfolding on the street style scene and the key buys of the season. In Milan and Paris, we always see a sense of elevated style alongside directional items, and this season was no exception. Attendees at the S/S 26 shows set the tone for how looks will unfold in the coming months, and showcased some key ways to pull off polished, elevated style.
Pieces such as sleek column skirts and half-zip knits were key players, as well as classic accessories such as leather ballerina flats and wayfarer sunglasses. 2025 has been marked by sophisticated style and we saw plenty of evidence of that during fashion month.. Ahead, see the top street style looks from Milan and Paris that tapped into elevated style and the key items to shop to execute it in your wardrobe.

Style Notes: Following on from the ‘office siren’ aesthetic we saw earlier on this year, column skirts are trending majorly at the moment. Sleek, polished, and easy to style, this longer and more fitted skirt style was spotted all over spring/summer 2026 fashion month, both on and off the runways. The key to making it look modern? Pair them with easy knits and laid-back kitten heels in neutral hues for an effortlessly chic look.

Style Notes: If there was one outerwear trend that dominated last season, it was the funnel-neck jacket. And now, fashion people are emulating this sleek trend with their knitwear as well. Enter the half-zip sweater, a much softer version of the funnel silhouette that can be worn fully zipped or halfway zipped to create a collar, like the name suggests.

Style Notes: By the time winter comes around. I usually set aside my light-wash jeans for darker indigo and black hues, and fashion people have proven just how elegant it looks. These deeper washes are not only easier to style for more formal events, but their similarity to black tailored trousers means you can get away with them in the office as well.

Style Notes: Want to make your cardigans feel ‘2026’? Take a cue from stylish dressers and wear them as a top with trousers, skirts, and jeans alike. Stick to neutral hues that feel elevated but won’t date in your wardrobes in the years to come.

Style Notes: If there’s one shoe that trends in every season, it’s a ballet flat. Neat, easy to style, and most importantly, comfortable, ballet flats can be taken from day to night with ease. Not to mention, they’ll help to soften up your edgier fashion items.

Leather Ballerina Flats
These will go with everything you own.

Style Notes: There’s not a single outfit that a pair of chic sunglasses won’t improve. Not only do they give you that ‘off-duty’ model look, but they’re also an investment that you’ll get wear out of no matter the time of year.

Sure you may already have a plethora of balms, glosses, and oils taking up handbag real estate, but there’s always room for the best Korean lip products. As is for the Korean skin-care products you know and love, K-beauty lippies stand out for their innovative formulas and playful approach. “Korean brands really excel at, and experiment with, textures,” K-beauty expert and and former editor-in-chief of Allure Michelle Lee tells Vogue. “While you can certainly find glosses and tinted balms in Korea that are very similar to Western lip products, there’s a larger variety of textures and formats to play with.”
Texture aside, Korean makeup puts an emphasis on lip care as well as finish, making pretty much every product a skincare-makeup hybrid. “K-Beauty lip formulas tend to blur the line between skincare and color. You’ll often find treatment-grade ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides in a tint or gloss format,” Sarah Chung Park, founder and CEO of Landing International adds. “The goal isn’t just pigment—it’s comfort, hydration, and that healthy, plumped-up look.”
And the best part? These high-performance, ingredient-rich products often come at a steal. “It wouldn’t be unusual to find a great Korean tinted lip balm for $15 that might cost $28 in a Western brand,” says Lee. Ahead, the pros weigh in on the trending lip products that Seoul’s coolest swear by—check out all their picks below.
Glamour: Congratulations to you both! Mel, you weren’t kidding about the fireworks, literally and figuratively. You’re in love, too, but we didn’t hear those words until the After the Final Rose live taping. So when did you guys know you were in love, and when did you first say those words to each other?
Peg Munson: Well, I knew I was growing in love with him during this whole journey. So it was one day at a time, and it was just opening up my heart and my mind to allow that to happen naturally. It wasn’t just one day, like, “Boom! I’m in love with you.” It’s time. It takes time to get to know somebody, and it takes time to fall in love with somebody. It was a progression for me.
Mel, what about you? When did you first say, “I love you” to Peg?
Mel Owens: When I first met Peg, I had a crush on her. It was almost that instantaneous electricity and a connection, and then it grew over time. By time we were on the island in Antigua, and then we went to the little island, I realized, “I’m in love with her.” I just became infatuated with her, and I had a crush on her, and it’s still growing.
I have to say, while we love a grand gesture or a proposal, I think you guys probably did it the smartest way. You’re in an accelerated timeline, and you’ve only known each other for about five weeks, so don’t rush the feelings. You might’ve done it the smartest way of any couple on this show. Do you feel that?
Peg: We appreciate that. We really appreciate that.
Mel: It’s because I’m a Michigan guy!
Peg: He’s a smart guy. He’s a smart guy.

Raise your hand if your aesthetic goal for the rest of 2025 into 2026 is to look rich. I’m sure everyone’s hands went up. In that case, let’s set aside our drawstring pants, leggings, and even go-to jeans, because there’s a trendy, luxurious-looking pants style you need to know about and add to your wardrobe ASAP. The trend is suede pants, and it was just given the seal of approval by Sofia Richie Grainge.
Yesterday, Grainge posted on Instagram a photo of herself with the caption titled “November in L.A.” In the image, she wore a chic yet casual fall look that featured an ivory chunky turtleneck sweater and beige suede wide-leg pants, both from her new brand, SRG Atelier. She accessorized her outfit with black pointed-toe boots, a leather clutch, and oversize sunglasses—elegant, minimal pieces that complemented her top and bottoms well.
Suede trousers are about to become popular for late fall and winter. Not just because Grainge wore them, but because fashion insiders in Paris, NYC, and Copenhagen have started donning them too—and for good reason. First, the fabric alone makes them look very high-end. Plus, they’re a simple, fuss-free style—pants you can throw on with a sweater, a T-shirt and a bomber jacket, or a blouse, and instantly look put-together. If you’re ready to stay ahead of the trend, check out our favorite styles below.

At Rag & Bone, one of Jennie McCormick and her team’s missions is to create clothing that not only fits well, but also has great hanger appeal. It’s probably why Rag & Bone’s popularity hasn’t waned among everyday Americans who frequently shop the brand.
This season, she took that concept to the next level, exploring different fabrications to make clothing that isn’t just wearable, but also feels like art. “Among my favorite pieces this season is an organza workwear jacket that’s tied back to pants and skirts,” McCormick said. “It was all about the idea of taking a feminine and sheer fabrication and putting it into something that’s a little bit more workwear-inspired.” The result includes organza sets that come in both skirts and pants and in colors like lilac and black. For a softer and more feminine touch, you can opt for the lilac skirt set and pair it with the matching button-up shirt featuring utilitarian pockets, or switch things up and wear it with a boxy terry shirt. The everyday Rag & Bone basics also got a revamp, with popular denim styles featuring a bungee cord detailing at the waistband, while t-shirts got the parachute effect, with puffy sleeves and a cinched waistline for more dimension.
Black Friday lands the day after Thanksgiving (this year, it’s November 28). But it’s far from a single-day event. It’s now a mega-shopping marathon kicking off as early as October and continuing through early December, along with its sister sale, Cyber Monday.
The best jewelry gifts carry a certain magic. Unlike a gift card or a box of chocolates, these pieces are long-lasting, luxurious, and celebratory of moments big and small. Special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays (not to mention just-because surprises) all shine a little brighter with a new pendant or ring.
With Christmas only weeks away, we’ve curated a mix of classic and trend-forward presents from a few of our favorite jewelry brands. You’ll see versatile earrings and necklaces from affordable companies like Ana Luisa, Anthropologie, and Pavoi; demi-fine favorites from Catbird, Reformation, and Pandora; and polished pieces such as diamond studs and tennis bracelets from luxury designers including David Yurman, Toteme, and Brilliant Earth. Below, find excellent jewelry gift ideas for women, men, and teens—organized by price range and recipient.
Some of the best jewelry gifts are the simplest (and least expensive). Affordable jewelry brands offer plenty of pieces that feel thoughtful without looking flimsy, including personal touches like an initial charm, birthstone, or a coin pendant engraved with their zodiac sign—a top-purchased pick among Glamour readers during the holidays. You’ll also find mixed-metal picks like delicate stacking rings and a gold-and-silver Kate Spade bangle, two versatile choices that speak to winter’s biggest jewelry trends.
This price range hits the sweet spot for demi-fine pieces and some of the most of-the-moment finds on our radar, including pendant necklaces and old-money tennis bracelets. You can even snag options like a sparkling eternity band set with lab-grown sapphires and with a sleek watch that’s an elegant yet practical staple—both of which look way more expensive than this price point might suggest.
This price range offers more refined picks: solid gold huggie hoops, two-tone chain bracelets, elegant drop earrings worthy of special occasions. You’ll also see classics from well-known jewelry brands, including David Yurman’s iconic cable cuff bracelet, and newcomers that feel just as splurge-worthy, like Reformation’s foray into statement necklaces.
Under $1,000, our gifting selection leans into fine jewelry with high-quality materials, like 10k gold, freshwater pearls, and lab-grown diamonds. You’ll find bold onyx drop earrings from buzzy label Toteme; a light-catching, layerable serpentine chain necklace; and a Juju Vera pendant necklace, which is one of the most popular (and coveted) designer items of the moment.
Looking for more intricate craftsmanship and fine materials? Here, you’ll get a jump in diamond size and gold purity, plus more complex designs and silhouettes like bezel and pavé detailing, weightier chains, and refined finishes. It’s a range where diamond rings, gold bracelets, and pendant necklaces carry real presence. (And best of all, your giftee’s eyes are sure to pop when they open their jewelry box.)
Jewelry is, hands down, one of our favorite gifts for women. The key is choosing pieces that reflect her—your unique relationship, her personal style, and the moment you’re marking. A “Mama” necklace or a splittable mother–daughter charm can speak to your bond, while bolder hoops or eye-catching crystals can complement her everyday look. And while message jewelry can get trite, a chic “I love you” bracelet or a linked chain say everything without getting too sappy.
Jewelry for teen girls lands best when it reflects what they’re into right now, like playful colors, trending silhouettes, and pieces with a personal angle. This selection includes oversized coin necklaces, beaded bracelets, zodiac charm necklaces, gemstone rings, and delicate diamond studs for bigger moments—all of which will take pride of place in their accessory collection.
Our readers consistently choose clean lines and solid materials (especially silver) for the husbands, boyfriends, and teen boys in their lives. This Mejuri box-chain bracelet is exceedingly popular, as are simple bands, signet rings, and chain necklaces.
