There's no shortage of inspiration at New York Fashion Week. As the presentations and runway shows are wrapping up in the city, a recap is necessary to break down all the trends, boots-on-the-ground observations, and which designers really delivered standout collections true to their vision.
Who What Wear's shopping director, Bobby Schuessler, sat down with senior fashion editor Eliza Huber and senior fashion and social editor Tara Gonzalez for all their thoughts on the spring/summer 2026 shows of New York Fashion Week. Hot off the heels of the Tory Burch show, here, they chat through the buzziest moments, their personal favorite collections, and of course, the trends and styling hacks they spotted on and off the runways.

We wanted to do this in real time. You just came from the Tory Burch show, so let's talk about everything.
Eliza Huber: Tory is always a huge standout for me. I feel like when I get the invite every season, it's like a little high, because I know that I'm going to want to buy, right? My collection of Tory is getting a little scary. was held at this beautiful old bank that I actually used to shop at in my first year when I moved to New York, when they used to do the Brooklyn Flea there. There was this turquoise funnel-neck, knee-length trench coat paired with brown trousers. That was such a color combo that I used to be scared of. Now, I'm excited to try it out. That's definitely coming home with me.
Speaking of trench coats, we've seen them all week. Different iterations: long, cropped, and now you're saying knee-length. What do you think is the trench coat vibe for spring 2026? I still like a longline one, but maybe it's knee-length?
