Paris is over, and with it, fashion week ends for spring 2018. Below, take a look at what Paris's designers had to say for trends next season, but stay tuned tomorrow for a wrap up on fashion month as a whole. Let's get started!
BIKE SHORTS
Bike shorts, Bermuda shorts — whatever you want to call them — made a play for the big trend of Paris fashion week. We're not going to lie, this one is a tough sell.
VINYL

Ostrich feathers floated as light as air down the catwalks of Paris.
SEQUINS
Sequins were another big story, just as they were in Milan. These were not the soft and delicate looks from the Italian city, but instead came in the form of powerful statement suits.
