Fashion feels fun and flirty again. After years dominated by quiet luxury, the industry has been steadily shifting toward maximalism. In 2025, fashion embraced more personality, color, and drama than previous seasons, and many designers leaned into a more individualistic approach to personal style.

On the spring/summer 2025 runways, this was evident at brands such as Prada, Bottega Veneta, Tory Burch, and Saint Laurent, which leaned into opulence and statement-making outfits. By fall/winter 2025, there were Technicolor hues, patterns, and animal prints, and faux fur was the season’s biggest outerwear trend.

For spring/summer 2026, that evolution has continued. From Balenciaga’s bug-eye sunglasses to Valentino‘s entire collection, designers are fully leaning into glamorous dressing. Caro Editions just showed its Fall 2026 collection at Copenhagen Fashion Week, which gives a perfect example of it.

If you’re looking for off-runway inspiration, Cierra O’Day stands out as one of the clearest reference points. Her closet, which is filled with vintage designer and a distinctly girlish curation, proves that glamour can still feel wearable. Camille Charrière (pictured above) often wears outfits that feel distinctive and expressive as well, influenced by both London and Paris.

Below, shop a curated mix of clothing, accessories, and shoes that capture the essence of glamorous dressing.

Clothing

When I think of glamorous dressing, it’s hard not to think of Old Hollywood. Items that come to mind are silk dresses, vintage furs, and kitten-heel pumps.
