Cinched Waists and Freaky Shoes: The Vogue Business SS27 Global Buyer ReportOctober 14, 2026Photos: Vogue RunwayThousands of looks have gone down the runway over 440 fashion shows and presentations across fashion’s four capital cities during the Spring/Summer 2027 season — each made up of clothing and accessories for buyers to consider for the upcoming season. Some of these items will never go into production. Others are surefire sellouts. Skirts reigned supreme, with buyers expecting to see an abundance of Prada midi and Dries Van Noten poster print skirts on the racks — and the sidewalks — come next summer. Anthony Vaccarello’s gilded farewell collection for Saint Laurent is also a highly anticipated eveningwear bestseller. And, continuing their hot streak, Celine and Chanel have buyers excited about next season’s ready-to-wear and accessory sales. The SS27 shows also pointed to emerging trends for the year ahead. Maximalism made its comeback, as embellishments, graphic tees and structured bras dominated many of the buzziest offerings, pushing past seasons’ minimalist tilt to the wayside.

In the past, mountaineers wore approach shoes to walk the trails leading up to their actual climb (the "approach" refers to the route between the start of the hike and the base of a cliff). Nowadays, it feels like I can't throw a rock without hitting someone dripped out in these Gore-Tex sneakers. The New York Times calls them "a shoe that looks great on everyone. " It's true there's been an uptick of this outdoorsy style all over, from around my local coffee shop to the ad campaigns of luxury fashion houses like Proenza Schouler and Loewe. While true hiking boots are too clunky for long distances, an understated, low-profile approach shoe is much easier to slip on and walk in. We've tested the trendy Salomons, but here I've rounded up comfortable alternatives with a similar gorpy flair. These pairs can be styled with your favorite barrel jeans, cargo pants, or even a maxi skirt this fall. Keen Jasper Why we love them: These have a wide toe box and a molded cork footbed similar to Birkenstocks. Skip if: You prefer foam cushioning and meaningful arch support.
