With spring just around the corner, most people are probably now focusing on what to wear for the new season. However, in the capital of France all sights were on A/W 25, with Paris Fashion Week being the talk of the city.
Whilst most of the talk over fashion month has been about what’s on the a/w 2025 runways (which we’ll be sharing our thoughts on soon), I couldn’t help but notice all of the chic looks that were spotted off the catwalk as well and this, of course, includes the outfits my fellow editors wore.
Staying in the Latin Quarter of the city (courtesy of Le Jardin de Verre by Locke), editor-in-chief Hannah Almassi and deputy editor Maxine Eggenberger made their way around Paris in outfits that were elegant and stylish (it was fashion week after all!) as well as practical enough to suit the unpredictable European weather and comfortably navigate themselves around the city. So, of course, once they were back, I asked them where each of their outfits were from so I could recreate them myself.
So, if you also fancy a little new-season inspiration or are simply just curious about what editors actually wear during fashion month, keep scrolling to see what the Who What Wear UK editors wore to Paris Fashion Week in March 2025.
What the Who What Wear UK Editors Wore to Paris Fashion Week:
1. Fur-Trim Coat + Midi Skirt + Mules
Style Notes: You can always rely on editor-in-chief Hannah Almassi to put together a look that’s chic and practical in equal measure. You simply cannot go wrong with a classic midi skirt and low heels pairing and I love how Hannah paired this more pared-back combo with a fun statement coat to add interest.

Style Notes: Whenever I’m looking for quiet-luxury outfit inspo, deputy editor Maxine Eggenberger is always my first point of call. A scarf coat will always look elegant and this one went straight into my basket after I spotted it on Maxine. Keep the rest of the outfit simple to let the coat shine.

4. Double-Breasted Blazer + Ecru Trousers + Skinny Scarf

Opt for a bold colourway like Hannah has a pair it with an equally statement blouse and simple tailored trousers to complete the look.

Style Notes: Opting for an all-cream look is a simple but effective way to make it look like you spent a lot of time getting ready, even if you couldn’t actually be bothered or were in a rush. Matching your coat to your trousers is a fail-safe chic look, and adding some contrasting accessories will take it to the next level.
