With spring just around the corner, most of us are probably now focusing on what to wear for the new season. However, in the capital of France, all sights were on autumn/winter 2025—Paris Fashion Week was the talk of the city.
Whilst most of the talk over fashion month has been about what's on the A/W 25 runways (which we'll be sharing our thoughts on soon), I couldn't help but notice all of the chic looks that were spotted on the streets as well, and this, of course, includes the outfits my fellow editors wore.
Staying in the Latin Quarter of the city at the beautiful Le Jardin de Verre hotel by Locke, editor-in-chief Hannah Almassi and deputy editor Maxine Eggenberger made their way around Paris in outfits that were elegant and stylish as well as practical enough to suit the unpredictable European weather and help them comfortably navigate the city. Predictably, once they were back, I asked them for their exact outfit breakdowns.
So, if you fancy a little new-season inspiration or are just curious about what editors wear during fashion month, keep scrolling to see what Who What Wear UK editors wore to Paris Fashion Week in March 2025.
What Who What Wear UK Editors Wore to Paris Fashion Week
1. Fur-Trim Coat + Midi Skirt + Mules
Style Notes: You can always rely on editor-in-chief Hannah Almassi to put together a look that's chic and practical in equal measure. You simply cannot go wrong with a classic midi skirt and low heels pairing, and I love how Hannah paired this more pared-back combo with a fun statement coat to add interest.
Shop the Outfit:
The definition of a statement coat.
We spotted so many pleated skirts this fashion month.
A low heel is much comfier than its higher counterparts but just as elegant.
So dreamy!
2. Scarf Coat + Leggings + Knee-High Boots
Style Notes: Whenever I'm looking for quiet-luxury outfit inspo, deputy editor Maxine Eggenberger is always my first port of call. A scarf coat will always look elegant, and this one went straight into my basket after I spotted it on Maxine. Keep the rest of the outfit simple to let the coat shine.
Shop the Outfit:
I could not believe this was a high-street find.
M&S has some of the best affordable cashmere around.
I've heard nothing but good things about Spanx leggings.
You'll reach for these on so many different occasions.
Perfection.
3. Oversized Blazer + Pleated Midi Skirt + T-Bar Heels
Style Notes: When in doubt, opt for head-to-toe monochrome. There's just something about Hannah's full charcoal-grey look with the odd pop of black that looks extremely expensive.
Shop the Outfit:
Size up for an even boxier fit.
So many of our editors own and love this skirt.
T-bar shoes are back for 2025.
4. Double-Breasted Blazer + Ecru Trousers + Skinny Scarf
Style Notes: Maxine has majorly inspired me to invest in a pair of ecru trousers for spring. They might feel a bit too out of your comfort zone at first, but paired with black items, cream denim works seamlessly. Not to mention, they look so sophisticated.
Shop the Outfit:
Doesn't this look so expensive?
Perfect for every season.
These anti-trend earrings will be in your jewellery box for years.
This comes in so many different colours.
5. Red Blouse + Jumper + Tailored Trousers
Style Notes: We're probably all bored of wearing heavy coats by now, so it's great news that we're finally in the part of the year where we can get away with a chunky jumper thrown over our shoulders to keep us warm. Opt for a bold colourway like Hannah and pair it with an equally bright statement blouse and simple tailored trousers.
Shop the Outfit:
I'd also throw this over a sundress when the weather gets a bit warmer.
Tuck into tailored trousers, jeans or poplin skirts.
A versatile belt will serve you well year round.
Such a great silhouette.
"Glove" ballet flats are the trending flats silhouette this spring.
A sleek black bag will go with so many different outfits.
6. Long Coat + Ecru Trousers + Boots
Style Notes: Opting for an all-cream 'fit is a simple but effective way to make it look like you spent a lot of time getting ready, even if you left the house in a rush. Matching your coat to your trousers is a fail-safe route to chic, and adding some contrasting accessories will take it to the next level.
Shop the Outfit:
Zara is just so good right now.
You'll get so much wear out of these timeless trousers.
Stylish and comfy in equal measure.
An investment buy you won't regret.
A chic pair of sunnies will make the entire outfit.
7. Graphic Tee + Midi Skirt + Burgundy Boots
Style Notes: Graphic tees are everywhere right now, and for good reason. They can turn the simplest of skirts, jeans or trousers into an elevated outfit that is sure to earn you many compliments.
Shop the Outfit:
Hannah's red scarf has sold out, but the orange is just as sweet.
You'll reach for this from now all the way through to next autumn.
We always love a graphic tee.
Every wardrobe should have a goes-with-everything belt.
A pleated midi will serve you well no matter the season.
Just the right amount of detailing.
8. Long Coat + Blue Shirt + Pencil Skirt
Style Notes: Sometimes, less is more, as proven by Maxine's classic long black coat, simple blue button-down and grey pencil skirt. This polished look is just as perfect for the office as it is for wandering the streets of Paris.
Shop the Outfit:
The Frankie Shop always does outerwear so well.
Simple, but so very effective.
Proof that you don't need to splash out loads on an expensive-looking belt.
A skirt you can wear in or out of the office.
If you told me these were designer, I'd believe you.
9. Statement Coat + Brown Jumper + Suede Skirt
Style Notes: Hannah is proof that if you invest in the right statement coat, you'll wear it over and over again. I'm absolutely obsessed with the sage-green and chocolate-brown combo she's created here. It's definitely one I'll be re-creating this season.
Shop the Outfit:
Sage-green and brown is such a dreamy colour combo.
Uniqlo's cashmere crew neck is one of its best-sellers.
Wear on its own like Hannah, or add the matching jacket.
A staple that transitions effortlessly from season to season.
