New York Fashion Week's Spring/Summer 2027 shows put texture front and center, with stylists sending models out in big, deliberately knotted hair rather than the sleek, controlled looks of recent seasons. Editors on the ground counted five distinct trends taking hold across the runways. The common thread: volume and visible structure, not polish, are what's reading as directional right now. Expect the look to migrate from Manhattan runway to red carpet soon enough.

With reporting from Elle.
