What Parisians Are Wearing Now: January 2026
One of my favorite posts to write after a trip to Paris is about the trends I spotted. This ranges from colors and silhouettes to denim, shoes, bags, and more. A rainy day in Paris is the perfect opportunity to sit at a café and see what Parisians are wearing. This is what I spotted on my latest trip to Paris in January 2026. Do you have any favorites?
Pop of Red. Colors Parisians Are Wearing Winter 2026
Nail colors were dark burgundy, classic red, or a pretty pink shade. I spotted the three in the salon window, and they were the perfect representation of what I’ve been seeing trending and what I have been using on rotation. Dark Burgundy was the color I saw most often, so I came home and painted my nails that shade, which I wore to the California event.
Hooded Scarf Trend Winter 2026
The hooded scarf trend is everywhere. My friends with kids say that their kids have really embraced it as well. I saw it worn and styled in different ways. While I wasn’t the biggest fan of the trend before I arrived in January. The trend of the hooded scarf grew on me quickly after I picked up my own after the Sézane event. I love it and have worn it multiple times in Paris and Chicago.
Parisian Scarf Trends Winter 2026
Triangle Scarf. This trend is everywhere, and I am not sure it is for me, but I picked up this one in red at Sézane to try. You can tie it around your neck or wear it as a layer over a jacket.
Chunky scarves. Typically worn on the outside with hair tucked in. The scarves are worn double-tied around the neck or thrown over the shoulder and can run longer. I spotted these in all colors and fun pops of red or neutrals.
Winter White. I was surprised to see this, but also loved it. Parisians mixed winter white with dark brown, camel, or black.
Burgundy Accessories. One woman had multiple burgundy accessories, from boots to her handbag. She styled everything so well!
Parisian Winter 2026 Trends
Tall Riding Boots. This is a trend I spotted last year and love. I am so happy I invested in a pair of tall black boots. They didn’t fit my suitcase this trip around, but I do wear these boots often at home.
Black Tights with Boots. What Parisians are Wearing Now
Classic Parisian style. When I saw my Paris family for dinner, the daughter looked adorable in her tights and skirt. When I asked her about her outfit, she told me she loved wearing tights and that they suited her so well. It has been fun to watch her grow up and develop her own style. She also had dark burgundy nails that I also admired and complimented over dinner.
Cuffed Wide Legged Jeans: What Parisians Are Wearing Now
At my Sézane event, the entire staff wore wide-legged jeans, belts, oversized sweaters, and cowboy boots. The look was so good! It made me want to order a pair of wide-legged jeans.

Chocolate Brown: Winter Trends Spotted in Paris
I saw chocolate brown everywhere, from shoes, bags, to sweaters. This color is sticking around, and I love it! While Parisians are mostly known for wearing black, this was a nice change.

It isn’t my favorite trend, personally, but one I often spotted in Paris.

Rebecca you were a huge help with my Paris 2024 Christmas trip with what to wear/buy/do. We are now headed back that way (Strasbourg, Paris, Lucerne and Interlaken) June 8th-19th.
Would you suggest I look at your Spring or Summer items? Cold weather is easy to pack. Im not sure if it will be warm days, cool nights and rainy. I appreciate all of your input! Thank you!
Really enjoyed this list – thank you for pulling all the trends and photos together. I bought a pair of wide-legged jeans with deep cuffs a couple of years ago, but then didn’t see anyone else wearing them for the longest time. I’m now telling myself I was just ahead of the trend, and will be wearing them to death this Spring!
so cute, Liz!! Yes, you are right on trend and you should wear them all the time!!
