4:30 p.m. — If I want to make it to the next day, I’m going to need some food in my house, so off to the grocery store we go, where I buy ingredients for a few recipes I have in mind, plus a little bouquet of flowers to brighten my home. To be completely honest, grocery shopping is an adulting task that I’m still getting used to. The total amount is a lot, but I justify it because it’ll be cheaper than eating out. And by using my Klarna Card, I can easily track how much I’m spending in the app. And the beauty of this card — and how it differs from other cards — is that I can use it two ways: as a regular debit card wherever Visa or virtual payments are accepted (so, pretty much everywhere) and as a way to plan for a bigger purchase and pay later.

Dubbed “soft loafers,” these styles have one thing in common: They’re all rendered in suede, fall’s absolute trendiest material. Where traditional leather requires a mandatory break-in period, suede doesn’t, meaning you can count on comfort right out of the box. Plus, they’ll effortlessly match your go-to suede bag or jacket. Win-win!

Thanks largely to The Row’s super-popular loafers, versions of which have been spotted on the likes of Zoë Kravitz and Kendall Jenner, pinched leather has become all the rage among the fashion crowd this season. The ruched toe boxes are another style that playfully subverts the classic loafer design, offering an unfussy ease that helps soften more masculine tailoring. And no matter your budget, there’s a pair in our edit made for you.

Jennifer Lawrence, the arbiter of quiet luxury, has spoken: Moccasin shoes are the next big thing. Sort of a cross between loafers and boat shoes, these flats have long been popular as slippers—but they’re getting a major revamp for fall and winter. Chunky loafers are out—this extra-slim style is a perfect example of the low-to-the-ground footwear that’s dominating the trend cycle this season. Styled with tube socks, a midi-skirt, and an autumn jacket, they’re chic and comfortable in equal measure. Reach for your pair when you need a style that’s more considered than sneakers, but just as easy to wear.

These are the stories making headlines in fashion on Friday. Véronique Nichanian is exiting as Hermès’ artistic director of men’s. Her final collection will be shown on Jan. 24, 2026, during Paris Fashion Week. Nichanian has worked at Hermès since 1988. “I am very …

Fashion and interior design have always been closely connected—both serve as expressions of personal style, culture, and mood. Yet when new runway collections debut, our first instinct is to think about how they’ll influence our wardrobes rather than our living spaces.
With that in mind, I decided to look at the spring 2026 runway collections from a different angle this time—spotting those that are not only poised to dominate the season but also translate beautifully into interior design. Spring, after all, is a time of renewal—the perfect moment to rethink our surroundings, declutter our homes, invest in new meaningful pieces, or spring-clean, as some like to call it.
That spirit of fresh starts carried on the runways with a wave of newly appointed creative directors unveiling their debut collections at legendary fashion houses. Each brought a fresh perspective—honoring brand heritage while reimagining it for today’s world. For example, Louise Trotter presented a mix of bold, playful ensembles and classic, sophisticated ones at Bottega Veneta, Matthieu Blazy redefined the classics at Chanel, and Jonathan Anderson showcased a wildly imaginative and fantasy-like line at Dior. These creative shifts signaled a broader reset—not just for the brands themselves, but for the direction of fashion as a whole.
When it comes to the overarching trends, designers demonstrated that they are helping guide us into a new era of personal style and craftsmanship. Instead of embracing “quiet luxury” or cookie-cutter trends that seem tailored for the algorithm, they are encouraging a return to personality, playfulness, and self-expression. The runways increasingly showed this through color, texture, and pattern. For a closer look at the top spring 2026 runway trends that will shape the future of interior design, continue scrolling. Additionally, Brittny Button, interior designer and founder of Button Atelier, shares her expert perspective on how these aesthetics can be adopted at home.

As mentioned, designers this season challenged what is considered cool or trendy, pushing quiet luxury aside and embracing loud luxury and maximalism instead. This was evident in ’80s-inspired styling seen in collections from Elie Saab, Stella McCartney, and Valentino. Think sculpted shoulders, nipped-in waists, and precise tailoring. Dramatic bows, silk blouses, and leather pencil skirts were key pieces, along with luxe metallics, jewel tones, and patterns like pretty polka dots, moody florals, and sophisticated snakeskin. Burton notes that this concept “translates into interior design through strong angled furniture, circular shapes, and fabrics with bold patterns.” It can also be simpler, using gold and amethyst purple touches, as well as quilted leather furniture or stainless steel décor.

A key theme on the runways this season was color, specifically the bold clashes of contrasting hues. These are shade pairings you might not initially think work, but they surprisingly do. Collections from brands like Balenciaga, Prada, and Versace featured unexpected color combinations such as red, blue, and purple or yellow, pastel green, and orange. They showed us that you can wear color and still look refined by sticking to classic, minimal silhouettes and relying on colors to elevate the look. Whether painting each wall a different hue or adding a colorful book to your coffee table, there are many creative ways to incorporate color into the home while making it feel like you.

If your goal is to create a home that feels warm, layered, and visually compelling, incorporating textural elements is essential. Take cues from the spring 2026 runways, where designers like Altuzarra, Brandon Maxwell, Chanel, and Bottega Veneta, among many others, embraced tactile richness through materials such as fur (yes, even for spring), leather, and, notably, fringe. These textures add dimension and depth but also a sense of comfort and refinement. In the home, they translate beautifully through upholstery, soft furnishings, and curated accents. “Heavy fringe borders are already everywhere,” shares Button. “It gives incredible visual movement and drama.” Beyond fringe, Button notes that mohair, bouclé, performance velvet, and vintage distressed finishes are fantastic juxtapositions, especially if used in the same space.

A common theme across the fall/winter 2025 and spring/summer 2026 collections was a sense of softness, ethereality, and overall joyfulness, expressed through billowy, lightweight fabrics and soothing, airy colors. At Chloé, this was reflected in lace trims, ruffled hems, and tiered designs. Zimmermann showcased draped fabrics in bubblegum-pink hues, creating a delicate aesthetic, while Simone Rocha highlighted sheer materials and pearls. Dior’s designs combined empowerment and glamour with cinch-waist pencil skirts, flowing lace dresses, and floral motifs. Button notes that this trend can extend to home décor through “crescent-shaped sofas and round mirrors that mimic the female form. It’s these organic shapes and undulating lines of soft S curves that feel soft and overwhelmingly female.” Even incorporating floral-patterned pillows, flower-shaped dishware, or lace-like wallpaper can help one achieve the aesthetic at home.

From Tory Burch to Versace, Prada to Toga, preppy style made a confident return to the runways, but this time with a bourgeoisie twist. It wasn’t about 2000s-inspired schoolgirl nostalgia. Instead, it felt elevated and mature, similar to what sophisticated dressers might wear at a country club. Think double-breasted navy blazers adorned with distinctive buttons, slim pencil skirts with skinny belts, layered button-up shirts styled with ease and elegance, and stripe sweater-vests paired with trousers. New England–inspired elements also made a striking appearance, most notably at Celine, where models carried horseback-riding helmets embossed with the Celine logo. Just like in fashion, taking this aesthetic into the home involves crispness and structure. “The preppy-nouveau trend can be seen in interiors when there’s an infusion of crispness,” Button shares. Picture interiors with tailored lines; navy, cream, green, and brown color palettes; and accents of leather and wood. It can also be seen through equestrian artwork, plaid rugs, and leather sofas. “Buttons offer a tailored approach for sofa upholstery which feels art nouveau inspired,” Button adds.

Given the current state of the political climate, one could say it’s a strange time to be leaning into the red, white, and blue right now. But American heritage and craft is what designer Spencer Phipps has built his brand on since its inception in 2018. He is constantly looking for new ways to reinvent American staples, like jeans and workwear jackets. This season, Phipps wanted to continue telling that story—and in a way that doesn’t ignore the complexities of dressing for life in America at the moment. “As I was putting the looks together, I realized there was a narrative,” said Phipps. “We started with a very joyful, nostalgic, and childish way of dressing—and then got into something more dark, weird, and maybe even slightly criminal.”
His vision of the modern American man—because character dressing is what Phipps does best—made for a wardrobe that was full of tensions and parallels. There were clear attempts at subverting classic American wardrobe pieces, almost as a way to challenge the definition of what being American is today. (The opening look, for one, featured Phipps draped in an American flag from 1859; it had 33 stars on it, versus the standard 50.) “American identity is under such scrutiny right now,” said Phipps, who wanted to embed his new clothes with a sense of optimism. “The American dream is about the human desire of chasing a better life—and living your own personal freedoms and truth.”
The result made for on-the-nose Americana, but with twists. His cozy flannel shirts had off-kilter details like upcycled yokes and studded piping, He also created western-style chaps, but covered them in dramatic Mongolian yak fur. The looks were hyper-masculine, but the finer details were less so. The more wearable items will surely be the best-sellers: Phipps crafted cotton rugby shirts with stars and stripes, and workwear pants with big cargo pockets. His cowboy-cut jeans and “chap jeans” were cool, subtle nods to western style. As always, he had some vintage tees in the mix too, including one style that read “Something Special from Wisconsin!” It reflected his obsession with thrifting. ”I’ve been buying vintage since I had money to buy clothes,” he said.
Outerwear was particularly strong. There were cool suede and knit zip-ups, and a vintage red knit sweater shaped into a hunting jacket silhouette. He even branded a vintage mustard shearling jacket with his logo. The most intriguing development: a venture into tailoring, with a small assortment of suit blazers. A charcoal blazer with a vintage blanket yoke had a real 1970s feel. “It’s a new direction for us,” said Phipps. “Pre-Covid, we used to make really nice suits in Italy. Now, I like suits with a story—there’s a little bit of a clunky dad spirit to ours.” It looked like the kind of prized find you would stumble upon in a dusty secondhand shop in L.A. or Santa Fe, and that was precisely the point.
What our testers say: The brand’s Snail All in One Cream is a go-to for Wu. “The texture is one of my favorite things about this moisturizer: it’s slightly bouncy yet lightweight and nonsticky. It has an immediate subtle plumping effect and feels beautifully refreshing. I usually layer it over the brand’s Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence for a double dose of snail mucin (and skin that’s visibly dewy and plump),” she says.
Best for K-Beauty Beginners: Peach & Lily Glass Skin Discovery Kit
If you or your giftee are new to the K-beauty, we highly recommend getting a taste of it with this four piece set from Peach & Lily. This starter kit comes with the Peach & Lily Gel Cleanser, Glass Refining Serum, Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream and Wild Dew Treatment Essence to soften, even out and refresh the skin. Bonus: all are in travel sizes so you can pop them into your toiletry bag.
What our testers say: Glamour’s Kilkeary always finds herself reaching for the Peach & Lily Gel Cleanser when she’s in need of a deep clean. “This pick is by far one of the best cleanses I’ve tried—it thoroughly removes every bit of makeup and gunk in my pores. It never leaves my skin feeling stripped or dry, either, and instead makes it feel soft, velvety and fresh.”
Most Popular: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Kit
Laneige is our go-to for all things lip hydration. The brand’s iconic sleeping mask is one our editors won’t go a night without— and the good news is that this set contains three mini sizes with limited edition flavors: Chocolate, Caramel and Eggnog Latte. It comes with the brand’s new glowy lip balms in Vanilla and Sweet Candy, which we like to pair with a lip liner for a glossy finish.
What our testers say:“Laneige lip mask and balms glide on so smoothly and hydrate my year-round chapped pout. I wear the lip mask overnight and wake up with lush, hydrated lips,” says Glamour commerce editor Jenifer Calle.
Best for Anti-Aging: Soko Glam 10-Step Korean Skin Care Routine Set
We’re simply obsessed with this 10-step skin care set because it blends together some of the most well-known K-beauty brands, including CosRx ,TirTir, Abib, and more. Some standout products include the Hanskin Pore Cleansing Balm with AHAs, the Etude Moistfull Collagen Facial Toner and the Abib Jericho Rose Crème Nutrition Tube for a glassy, skin-firming complexion. We’re also a fan of the Pore Care Refining LHA Ampoule from Rovectin to help exfoliate and soften skin, and the Korean sunscreen formula as the last step in the routine.
What our testers say: One of our editor favorite antiaging products included in this set has to be the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. “I’ve used up several bottles of this essence over the years and love how it balances intense hydration with a bouncy yet lightweight formula. It’s perfect for imparting instant bounce to the dry zones of my combination skin without breaking me out or making my T-zone feel greasy,” says Wu.
Honorable Mention: Biodance Real Deep Mask Gift Set
Although technically not a gift set, face masks make great stocking stuffers, and any beauty lover will be happy find one Christmas morning. This popular Biodance kit comes with four masks: the original collagen one that our editors and EIC love (pink), hydro cera-nol (blue), sea kelp (green) and the brand’s latest caviar PRDN one (purple). Each mask is suitable for normal to oily, sensitive skin types and addresses skin barrier, dullness, and elasticity. It’s a great gift for your girlfriend who could use a little extra TLC during their nighttime routine.

My mother is a fashionable lady, partly because she has a fashionable daughter. In exchange for all she’s taught me—how to cook, tell a joke, and, most importantly, shop on a budget—I’m now her personal stylist. I’m the one responsible for her Marlo Thomas–inspired haircut, statement Warby Parker frames, and keeping her up to date on the latest fall 2025 trends.
While I was born with my chic sense of style, my frugality is inherited. Luckily, I know exactly where to find affordable fall fashion that looks expensive: Nordstrom. I set a budget of $425 per look and gave myself an hour to create eight rich-looking, affordable Nordstrom outfits. I’m happy to report that each one is mother approved and under budget.
Outfit 1
Straight-leg jeans, a white tee, a lightweight jacket, and loafers is an outfit formula I find myself repeating all season long. This Corduroy Collar Denim Jacket ($100) is perfect for all the fun activities that make fall feel so special. Personally, I’ll never miss an opportunity to go apple picking and post a cute fall ‘fit.

Outfit 2
The It-girl way to wear a sweater this year is over your shoulders. Just ask Kendall Jenner. But why bother with the bulk of two sweaters when you can wear this Twofer Tie Sleeve Sweater ($78)? The built-in relaxed look is effortlessly chic. Bonus points if you style it with a pair of balloon jeans—you’ll really look like a fashion insider.

Outfit 3
This low-lift fall outfit is ultra rich for costing under $500. Fashion people everywhere have fallen in love with chocolate brown this fall—the rich, warm tone pairs well with dark-rinse jeans and a white polo sweater. I’m particularly a fan of the double collar. It’s serving class, elegance, and old-money prep.

Outfit 4
An all-black ensemble is a must. The column skirt and boatneck sweater combo brings an Old Hollywood glamor that I love. This outfit just so happens to be my mother’s favorite. The low-heel knee-high boots, the drop earrings, and the elegant neckline feel unbelievably rich. Hard to believe this look costs less than $350.

Outfit 5
My mother embraces her natural gray, and I absolutely love the idea of a dark heather gray base with burgundy accents. I think the gray tones in the outfit would beautifully complement the silvers in her hair. Monochrome outfits always look rich and well put-together. Add to that this beautiful burgundy Sabina Faux Leather Jacket ($100), which looks like a designer piece, and this ensemble is my favorite affordable Nordstrom outfit.

Outfit 6
Boat shoes have been back. NYC’s fashion crowd and Paris’s style set brought back the dated deck shoe last year, and since then, the preppy shoe has found its way into every seasonal closet. We’re lucky the iconic Sperry Wells Boat Shoe is over 50% off right now. They were $110, but now you can get them for only $40 thanks to Nordstrom’s wildly generous deals.

Outfit 7
My love for ’90s minimalist fashion is on full display with this chic fall outfit. The solid colors, soft draping, and evident attention to tailoring make this look feel so rich. A trench is one of those fall staples that transcend weather. I find myself reaching for the classic outerwear even if it’s sunny and there’s no chance of rain.

Chalk it up to Bella Hadid’s widely-documented cowboy era or to the influence of Vogue cover-certified horse girls Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, but something about stomping around in some leather fringe and cowboy boots has conquered the hearts of fashion-minded twenty-somethings.
At face value, Mark Gong’s spring collection suggests that he’s clocked the trend. But actually, Gong was a pioneer. It was in 2019 that he first riffed on the cowgirl theme, and this season he gave it a do-over. “I was chatting with my friends and said I would like to re-do it” he said. The impetus was a movie night featuring the 1991 Ridley Scott film Thelma and Louise.
“I know it’s not a movie about cowboys,” Gong said, explaining that he was attracted to the rebellious, freewheeling energy of its main characters, two defining traits of who he calls his “Gong Girls.” It also inspired him, he said, to look at the American West with a more feminine point of view, rather than from the male gaze with which he designed that first connection.
He mostly pulled it off, with the exception of the funny but mostly just gratuitous rearview mirror and police siren bra tops—which were actually designed in collaboration with the women-led jewelry design studio Yvumin. Other models carried gas pumps and wore outlandishly long thigh-high boots with their fringed and ruffled clothes.
Some of the fun leather pencil skirts and bandeau tops he made were embossed or embroidered with tooling motifs, which reappeared on his power tailoring and low stacked heel boots (“young women are less interested in high heels!”). He also showed t-shirts and jeans and cargo pants, and unveiled an extension of his ongoing Nike collab. Together it made for a covetable, commercial collection, delectably packaged as an entertaining story. All in all, Gong is proving to be one of Shanghai’s most proficient designer-merchants.
The trench coat is perhaps the pinnacle of fall outerwear—and considering its overwhelming prevalence on the runway and in real life, the suede trench is your best bet right now. Burberry and Sergio Hudson showed the soft layers for fall, proving that the material can transform a seemingly simple silhouette into something a bit snazzier. Whether worn with a crewneck sweater and pleated shorts, a turtleneck and trousers, or a T-shirt and baggy jeans, these jackets will make everything in your closet feel all the more autumnal.

We’ve seen this aviator-inspired jacket soar to new heights in recent seasons, thanks in part to its continued presence in collections from Prada, Loewe, and other high-profile labels. While most bomber jackets are fashioned from technical nylon or heavy-duty leather, supple suede has grown in popularity in recent seasons, giving the otherwise rigid shape a softer feel and striking the perfect balance between edge and elegance. It’s that duality that allows it to look good with everything—be it a tank top styled with cargo pants and flip-flops or a rugby shirt paired with a pencil skirt and pointed pumps.
