In the Wind
If you spent the summer wondering why everyone suddenly looked like they were headed for a very fashionable hike, blame Saint Laurent. The brand's sporty windbreakers became a celebrity favorite, with stars like Charli XCX stepping out in the style, and now the jacket is sticking around for fall. The runways agree: Lii, Loewe, and Miu Miu all sent their own takes down the fall 2026 runways, from bright color-blocked versions to oversized and fur-trimmed styles.
Luckily, you don't need a Saint Laurent budget to get the look. Windbreakers are showing up everywhere from Zara and Nike to Sporty & Rich, with plenty of chic vintage options waiting on resale sites, too. Styling one is surprisingly easy: Pair an oversized version with relaxed denim and sneakers, wear a cropped style with a mini skirt and loafers, or lean all the way into the sporty look with track pants and retro trainers.
The trick is to treat your windbreaker like the star of the outfit rather than the jacket you reluctantly grabbed because the forecast said rain. Go for an unexpected color, play with proportions, and let the sporty outerwear do the heavy lifting.
