From statement denim to genderless designs, here are the standout styles from the latest fashion shows that you can easily incorporate into your wardrobe.

As New York Fashion Week winds down and the European shows in London, Milan, and Paris kick off, the fashion world is abuzz with fresh faces and innovative designs. This season, the spotlight is on creativity, craftsmanship, and practicality, with several standout looks that are both stylish and wearable.

Rachel Scott, newly appointed creative director of Proenza Schouler, unveiled a chrysanthemum-patterned jacquard ensemble that redefines the brand’s signature cool-girl aesthetic. The look, featuring exposed “float” yarns and yellow chrysanthemum-embellished sandals, is a testament to Scott’s textile expertise and her vision for subversive, yet elegant fashion. Known for her work at her own label Diotima, Scott is bringing a craftsman’s touch to Proenza Schouler, a brand that has been without a creative director since its founders moved to Paris to work for Loewe earlier this year. Her vision is not only to innovate but to create a dialogue with the brand’s legacy.

Meanwhile, Khaite’s Catherine Holstein is redefining the denim game with a contemporary twist. Her indigo-denim pencil skirt with a back slit pairs perfectly with a dainty beige crepe jacket, proving that work-appropriate denim can be both modern and stylish.

The brand, backed by private-equity and venture-capital firm Stripes, has achieved the elusive goal of becoming an American luxury brand. Holstein has done this by doubling down on pieces that work—higher-waisted, more tailored jeans; chunkier, investment-quality cashmere; and leather statement jackets. The proliferation of coats in this ostensibly spring collection points to a season-less fashion future, where pieces are designed to last across seasons.

Toteme, the Swedish brand known for its minimalist approach, is making waves with its leather biker jacket reimagined as a separate scarf piece. The look, styled with satin trousers, reflects a sharp yet relaxed spring/summer ’26 vibe. Founded in 2014 by married couple Elin Kling and Karl Lindman, Toteme has been ramping up its American presence with multiple stores and a New York Fashion Week show. Kling emphasized that outerwear is central to her collections, a reflection of Sweden’s unpredictable weather. The brand’s season-less designs, rendered in neutrals, are easy to wear for non-fashion experts, making them a favorite of busy women.

Lastly, Eckhaus Latta is pushing the boundaries of genderless fashion with bold, colorful looks that blend ’90s nostalgia with a modern downtown flair. Their double-knee baggy jeans in “poppy” red, paired with layered tops and a red belt bag, are a striking example of the brand’s commitment to innovation and inclusivity.

Founded in 2011, Eckhaus Latta pioneered a genderless approach to dressing that is now commonplace even at luxury brands including Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Loewe, where shoppers cherry-pick pieces from both the men’s and women’s lines. The brand’s show featured a memorable moment when a model lit up a joint on the runway in collaboration with the dispensary Gotham, adding a touch of downtown edginess to the collection.

As the fashion landscape continues to evolve, these looks offer a glimpse into the future of style—where creativity meets practicality, and inclusivity drives innovation. Whether you’re looking for a minimalist jacket, a bold denim piece, or a genderless ensemble, this season’s trends have something for everyone.
