The warm season is upon us – it’s time to revamp your wardrobe. We introduce key trends to help you embrace the Spring and Summer 2026 collections with feeling and purpose.
After COVID, the fashion world went into a hiatus, kind of lost its way a bit in terms of its intention, and now it seems to be finally back on track. We have noticed a shift towards more personality-driven looks that put wearability at the centre of the style game. Dress up for real life, but with an edge.
From laid-back pieces and compositions to exaggerated volumes and tassels, never losing sight of the comfort, practicality and suitability of the items. We welcome the Spring and Summer 2026 collections with a refreshed mind. Novelty is essential, so we avoided eye-rolls and kept our arms open and our hearts warm, honouring personal style over absurd trends while still testing some unconventional propositions.
Here comes the sunnier sun…
DRAMATIC SILHOUETTE
The focus here is on amplified proportions with billowy sleeves and bubble skirts. The trend brings creativity to spring and summer looks – it was about time for a wearable option amongst all the serious looks.
MOVE WITH ME
Fringes are once again in the spotlight; however, they are more dynamic, stepping away from the usual boho 1960s’ revival. This time, they look modern and provocative, adding texture, rhythm and visual motion to outfits.
CALCULATED VOLUME
Still playing with proportion, but more purposefully, dresses and skirts with added material to their hems have been spotted in many collections. Column dresses and pencil skirts in mini or midi length get a makeover with fluffly details – one of our favourite trends.
RELAXED ELEGANCE
On the opposite side of the oversized trend is the laid-back style that, this year, comes with an extra flair of sophistication that can’t go unnoticed. It’s flawless yet not overly polished – with loose tops, maxi skirts and wide-legged trousers – effortless and harmonious.
ON THE EDGE
Hems seem to be getting all the attention they can this season. Asymmetric cuts and irregular bottom edges in a diagonal or slanted design, high-low (shorter in front, longer in the back), jagged or curved are the pieces to embrace for more dynamic, expressive outfits.
LOW-RISE LINE
A silhouette where the waistline seam sits lower than the natural waist, usually placed at the hips or just below them. The visual effect is a longer torso and relaxed outline. It first became iconic in the 1920s, with a huge revival in the ‘90s, and now it’s back in business.
ARCHITECTURAL SHAPES
If we had to pick one accessory that absolutely stole the show, the belt would be it. Oversized, wide belts with dramatic buckles are the ultimate ‘it’ item of the season. Worn over dresses and blazers, they not only define the silhouette (high or low) but also act as the focal point of the look.
FUNCTION MEETS DRESSY
Utility fashion blends practical, workwear-inspired designs with style. Cargo pants, jumpsuits and field jackets make up everyday outfits. Look for pieces with big pockets, buckles, straps, durable fabrics and a relaxed yet structured contour painted in a toned-down palette.
MINIMALIST CHIC
The toned-arms aesthetic is 2026’s fitness trend, and nothing beats strapless tops and dresses for showcasing this body feature. Spotted in both casual and elevated wardrobes, they come in clean, elegant cuts. Tops look great with wide-legged trousers.
WEAR, WRAP OR KNOT
Scarves are having a major accessory moment; they went from accent to key element. Multicoloured, patterned silks have been transformed into tops and dresses, and styled in different ways, such as wrapped around the waist (or ankle) and knotted over the shoulder. From minimalist looks to bold appearances, the sky is the limit with this piece of cloth.
