Peplum, Funnel Necks and Shearling: The Silhouettes That Defined Paris Fashion Week FW26

If one silhouette defined Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026, it was the peplum a flared waist shape that graduated, according to multiple trend reports, from nostalgic throwback to the default jacket silhouette of the entire season.

Dior sent peplum-shaped Bar jackets down the runway before extending the silhouette into dresses and blazers, while Jean Paul Gaultier, The Row, Anrealage and Givenchy all embraced flared-waist tailoring in their own distinct registers; Balmain translated the shape into furry olive toppers and aviator-inspired outerwear. Alongside peplum, funnel necks proved just as persistent, appearing on long, boxy shearling-lined flight jackets as well as cropped, cinched versions, collars pulled all the way up in a nod to aviation history that echoed through the week.

Furry coats, a given in any cold-weather season, got a specific 2026 twist in the form of jackets with furry sleeves rather than full-coverage fur, spotted at Schiaparelli with brown shearling against denim printed in a fur motif, at Nina Ricci with royal-blue trim against golden-yellow floral jacquard, and at Marine Serre on a black leather moto jacket. Together, the three silhouettes offer a clear buying guide for the season ahead: structure at the waist, height at the collar, and texture at the cuff.
