New York Fashion Week's Spring 2027 runway shows produced a wave of fall-ready trends that are surprisingly easy to shop right now, from fitted blazers and cropped trench coats to suede east-west handbags, according to a roundup from E! Insider.
Sandy Liang, Khaite and Ralph Lauren were among the designers leaning into sharp tailoring for the season, sending vests, blazers and trouser sets down their runways. Off the runway, the tailoring was balanced by looser, more casual pieces, with loose low-rise jeans frequently paired with a lace camisole or a sheer top for an unexpectedly romantic mix.
Suede handbags in an east-west silhouette emerged as the season's standout accessory, appearing across collections and in street style throughout fashion week. Knitwear also got a sportier update, with polo necklines, rugby stripes and sporty silhouettes turning up on multiple runways.
Tailored Blazers and Lace Suiting
On the runway, classic blazers were reworked into fitted tops with tight tailoring. A long-sleeve blazer top from Myanna Brown, priced at $59 at Lulus, echoes that runway shape with a statement neckline and flared sleeves, and can be dressed up with slacks or down with jeans.
Suiting was abundant this fashion week, often finished with unexpected details such as lace trim that read as romantic while staying office-appropriate. A black button-front lace vest top and matching pants from Vesper, priced at $45 and $49 at Lulus, have a belted waist and Chantilly lace contrast trim.
Cropped Trench Coats and Windbreakers
Fall outerwear trends stayed strong on the runways, with cropped trench coats and windbreakers showing up across multiple collections. A taupe cropped trench coat from Lulus's Thames line, priced at $68, keeps standard trench tailoring but adds a removable cape that ties at the neck.
Windbreakers also made a comeback this season, continuing a Y2K-inspired revival. The Malena, a dark olive zip-up jacket priced at $65 at Lulus, has an oversized bomber silhouette and a lined cotton canvas fabric for extra warmth heading into winter.
Loose Low-Rise Jeans
Vintage-inspired denim was not slowing down on the runways, particularly loose, low-rise jeans with straight or wide legs that offer both comfort and versatility. Levi's Low Loose jeans, a medium-wash, distressed, wide-leg style priced at $108, take that trend to its fullest.
Striped Knitwear and East-West Handbags
Academic-style knitwear also returned for fall, including long-sleeved sweaters with polo collars that read as preppy but still mature. An Opal green-and-blue striped ribbed knit collar top, priced at $45 at Lulus, can be layered under a blazer or worn with jeans and a leather jacket.
East-west handbags, a shape popularized by designers including Miu Miu and Alaïa, proved to be the season's 'It' bag both on the runway and in street style. The Jori, a light brown suede east-west shoulder bag priced at $39 at Lulus, offers a near-match to the trend for well under $50.
E! Insider's roundup also pointed to zebra-print handbags as another accessory trend dominating fall, according to celebrities cited by the outlet, giving shoppers a second direction to explore this season alongside the east-west silhouette.
