Fashion week calendar

Spring and summer 2026 fashion trends are on tap as fashion weeks kick off this month. Here’s your calendar:

1. New York Fashion Week: September 11-16, 2025
2. London Fashion Week: September 18-22, 2025
3. Milan Fashion Week: September 23-29, 2025
4. Paris Fashion Week: September 29-October 7, 2025

Generally, fashion weeks in the fall preview spring and summer collections for the following year, while spring shows introduce trends designed for fall. Even if you don’t buy designer fashion—in truth, how many of us do?—runway themes in color, shape, fabric, and styling generally define the vibe of mass market fashion. This is especially true for stores like Zara and Asos that define themselves as trendy.

How to watch fashion weeks

Fashion weeks used to be industry-only, but this digital age offers more ways to tune in. The Vogue Runway app shares good coverage of events, though it may not be live. You can also tune into YouTube channels of favorite designers to see if they are streaming their own shows. Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel have done this in the past. Designer Instagram and TikTok channels may also feature show sound bites.

Wear-now garment spotlight: Low-rise baggy jeans

If you’ve been spotting low-rise baggy jeans everywhere, you’re not imagining things. The low slung, relaxed and roomy denim pant is back in a big way. It’s got a street-style, 90s vibe, and a touch of youth. But I assure you, anyone can wear this style. You only need the right styling tips. Here you go:

1. Balance proportions. Pair your low-rise baggies with a fitted or cropped top.
2. Layer. Add a longline blazer atop your crop if it’s cold or you need more coverage. If the long outer layer doesn’t feel right on your shape, play with different hemlines. A hemline that hits just below the top of the low-rise waistband can lengthen your upper body and create nice balance.
3. Go big on the belt. Try statement belts with embellishments or a bold, contrasting color.
4. Choose shoes strategically. Pointed-toe heels add sophistication, while chunky loafers keep things casual.

You can find low-rise baggy jeans right now at Zara, Asos, Abercrombie, and Hollister. If you want to step into this trend lightly, see Mango’s medium-rise baggy jean – it’s a touch more conservative.
