Fashion for Spring/Summer 2026 has already started to take shape... not quite the weather just yet, but we’re getting there. Early signals are emerging across the runways, show spaces, and fashion media, giving us a first glimpse of what’s to come.
Drawing insights from Vogue Runway, SHOWstudio, GQ, Who What Wear, and wider fashion commentary, this trend report highlights the key themes, moods, and directions shaping the season ahead. We’ve broken it all down to make it easy and inspiring for you to start planning that Summer wardrobe.
Brighten up your wardrobe!!!
This is what everyone’s telling us to do, and honestly, we’re not mad about it. This Spring/Summer, we’re saying goodbye to bland and bringing in the brights.
Designers like Balenciaga, Chanel, Akris, and many more weren’t settling for safe colour palettes this season. Instead, bold, block primary colours took centre stage, proving that colour is the easiest way to make an impact and refresh everyday looks.
Our standouts include a fluro pink knit from Bellerose, perfect for bold layering, easy everyday pieces from American Vintage, and this navy and lime tote bag from Damson Madder. Hard to pick a favourite...
Dip into your feminine side. This season is all about flowy, romantic silhouettes and delicate fabrics, from sheer dresses designed for layering to soft, flattering blouses.
It’s all in the details... gentle pleats, longer skirt lengths and thoughtful accessories come together to create a feminine, elegant mood for Spring/Summer 2026.
For us, Damson Madder shows this perfectly, with pieces like the Sofia pleated trench and the Madison blouse capturing soft shapes and feminine details in an easy, wearable way.
It's time for purple to take centre stage... a standout shift seen across runways and editorial shoots where tonal dressing in rich violet hues stole the spotlight. From soft lilacs and dusty mauves to deep plum and inky aubergine, this palette brings depth, confidence and a fresh energy to Spring/Summer dressing and will definitely extend to the autumnal months too.
The Bellerose Grape Flips sweatshirt is a winner for us, not just for the great shape and easy style, but for the colour too, which really makes it stand out. Also, this Fig Berta midi skirt from Damson... flattering and fantastic.
Touch Me Textures focuses on fabrics you can’t help but reach out and touch. From heavyweight knits to patterned surfaces, this trend is all about comfort, ease and pieces you’ll keep reaching for every day.
In our opinion, no one does it better than YMC, with their chunky knits you just want to wrap yourself in....even through the warmer months. A special mention also goes to the Liv Coffee trousers from Damson Madder, where the shirred waistband adds an unexpected layer of texture to an otherwise everyday style.
Everyday Tailoring is about looking put-together without trying too hard. Clean shirts and easy tailoring come together to create smart-casual looks that feel relaxed, comfortable and easy to wear day to day.
For us, this trend is all about simple pieces done well. Universal Works and YMC nail it with classic shirts that work for everyday wear. Styled with loose-fit trousers, shorts and lightweight layers for everyday wear.
