The colours and silhouettes shaping our 2026 wardrobes,

curated by Viviana

—

As 2025 came to an end, the fashion landscape is already shifting toward a new wave of trends set to define the months ahead. For 2026, the picture is beginning to take clear shape: sculptural silhouettes, curious colour stories, tactile materials and a softer, more intentional approach to dressing are emerging from runways to street-style.

Buying into every micro‑trend is neither sustainable nor necessary — style should be about what makes you feel confident and what you’ll rewear. Still, we couldn’t help but wonder: which 2026 fashion trends are actually worth adding to your wardrobe?

A Minimalist Statement

Just as butter yellow, burgundy, and baby pink colour trends are reaching their peak, Pantone released the official colour of the year for 2026. Meet the shade Cloud Dancer — a soft white that feels like a quiet exhale in a frenetic world.

Beyond the spring/summer runways, this ethereal shade is already floating through the collections of cult labels and rising European designers alike — from Paloma Wool and RÓHE to By Malene Birger and TOTEME Studio — clearly shaping up to be the colour of spring.

All Things Suede

Suede continues its reign as fashion’s most persuasive texture. What started as a seasonal staple has evolved into a full-scale style movement, shaping everything from sleek handbags and oversized jackets to wide-leg trousers and equestrian-inspired boots.

The appeal? Labels like Miu Miu, Loewe and Bottega Veneta are championing sculptural coats, while budget friendly brands such as Massimo Dutti prove the trend’s versatility and accessibility.

A French Twist

While Capri pants ruled spring 2025, culottes and hot‑air‑balloon pants are the new silhouette to watch for 2026 — wide, sculptural and distinctly French, already spotted from the Paris runways to the streets of Saint‑Germain‑des‑Prés.

The appeal? Effortless volume with relaxed tailoring and a refined edge. High‑end houses are embracing the exaggerated shape, while accessible favourites like COS, Levi’s and Zimmerman offer clean, accessible versions for everyday wear.

The Rise Of Plaid & Country Chic

Driven by a refined revival of rural English style — and led by Burberry’s iconic check print — this trend embodies a modern nod to tradition.

The appeal? Plaid adds instant character and structure, blending heritage with versatility in a standout pattern that feels timeless season after season. Madrid-based brand Maria De La Orden offers a clean, modern spin — from tailored plaid jackets and tops to chic checked skirts and overshirts.

A Bohemian Rhapsody

Boho is back. For spring/summer 2026, designers are embracing a romantic, ethereal take on boho chic: lace, sheer mesh, soft ruffles and fluid, Chloé‑inspired silhouettes in sun‑washed tones.

The appeal? Airy, feminine pieces that feel effortless and modern. Brands like Maison Hotel & Louise Misha are already tapping into the trend with ruffled blouses, embroidered vests and wide-leg trousers that bring the new boho into everyday wardrobes.

The Statement Print

Animal patterns are nothing new, but this season’s deer-print trend brings a surprisingly fresh twist. Leopard, zebra, cheetah — even polka dots in summer 2025 — have all had their moment, but Bambi-inspired spots are finally taking the spotlight.

The appeal? A softer, more delicate and playful take that is easy to wear. From plush outerwear to fluid dresses and accessories, brands like Sandy Liang x GAP, OBEY and ATP Atelier are already embracing the trend.

Curious Colour Combinations

Building on the momentum of late 2025, spring and summer 2026 will bring a new vitality into fashion through curious colour combinations and bold colour‑blocking.

Looking ahead, it's clear that the combinations will be more daring and bolder with designer labels like Jacquemus toying with unexpected colour‑blocking for several seasons now. Even emerging labels like GANDAIA are leaning into vibrant contrasts that feel fresh and unique.
