The autumn-winter 2026-2027 fashion trends suggest that winter will be particularly cold, as interpreted by designers through their clothing choices. Extra-long sleeves on sweaters were a common feature at fashion shows by Victoria Beckham and Givenchy. Thigh-high tights worn high on the thigh were showcased by Stella McCartney, while Celine presented scarves that covered the face, adding a dramatic touch to winter outfits.
A notable trend emerging on the runways is the "funnel-neck" coat, also known as "high-neck" in French. This style was first introduced by Phoebe Philo and has since been adopted by several other designers. The funnel-neck coat was prominently featured at Courrèges, Balenciaga, Acne Studios, and Bottega Veneta. These designs combine elements of a turtleneck and a scarf, emphasizing volume and transforming the winter coat into a bold fashion statement.
At Balenciaga's runway show, the funnel-neck coat became the centerpiece of a minimalist all-black look, paired with leggings and high-heeled shoes. Similar approaches were seen at Chloé and Bottega Veneta, which focused on colorful variations of the trend. The funnel-neck coat is not a passing fad, as it has also appeared in the spring-summer 2027 collections. This high-collar style has been highlighted in the Saint Laurent collections by Anthony Vaccarello and in the designs of Alaïa, suggesting that the funnel-neck coat will be one of the most prominent outerwear trends in the coming months.
