The Street Style Trends That Defined the Fall 2023 Season

March 14, 2023

Nostalgia is in this season. We’re living in turbulent times with the war in Ukraine and collapsing banks in Silicon Valley.

It wasn’t all about retro restylings outside the shows, though. Apple’s AirPod Maxes doubled as headphones and earmuffs in Paris where the screaming K-pop fans got loud and the temperatures dipped below freezing. Cate Blanchett’s Tár looks inspiring both designers and show goers alike. And in New York, a popular young designer is giving the French Breton stripe a run for its money. Scroll through to discover all the street style trends that took over the fall 2023 ready-to-wear season.
