5 Trends we’ll be wearing in 2026 Between fringes and sheer details, the coming year promises plenty of fresh ideas
Fashion is always looking ahead. And so, despite recurring revivals, retro inspirations, and an inevitable vintage flair, the fashion system keeps its eyes firmly on the future. It does so through September, a long and intense month, when runways across the globe reveal what we’ll be wearing in 2026. The new year, though still a little far off, is already shaping up to be full of novelties: details will make the difference, ready to capture attention and refresh every look. Unexpected style choices and unusual pairings are set to revolutionize even the simplest outfits, reminding us once again how often it’s the smallest elements that leave the biggest mark.
5 trends not to miss in 2026
Fringes, on clothing and accessories
Sinuous, dynamic, and incredibly chic, fringes are set to be the stars of the coming year. Forget, however, the bohemian interpretation that dominated recent seasons: in 2026, fringes will be synonymous with elegance and sophistication, both in everyday wear and formal attire. No longer reserved for cowboy boots and hippie bags, they’ll appear on dresses and accessories alike, bringing movement to every outfit. Mini bags, belts, and even pumps will feature tone-on-tone fringe details, as will gowns and evening jumpsuits. A triumph of style and elegance, destined to win over even the most minimalist fashion lovers.
Sheer fabrics, the see-through effect
Revealing without showing too much, that will be one of next year’s guiding principles, sure to delight lovers of the see-through effect. The twist? In 2026, sheer details will succeed at the tricky balance of merging boldness with romance, giving rise to pieces that are sexy yet delicate. From crop tops to long dresses, including shirts, flowy trousers, and maxi skirts, transparency will fully earn its place among the trends of the moment. For those who want to test the waters more cautiously, subtle sheer details, like puff sleeves or discreet inserts, offer a way to start experimenting with discretion.
Draping, to embrace the body
How to highlight shapes without constraining them? By turning to draping, one of next year’s key details. Perfect for drawing attention to a specific area or elegantly disguising another, draping will appear on maxi and mini dresses (especially in satin fabrics), with a nod to evening dress codes. Strategically placed at the neckline or waist, it will manage to combine elegance and comfort all at once.
The double bag, practical and chic
Fashion lovers who always need more space can finally breathe easy. Among the coolest and most functional runway trends is the double bag, allowing you to carry everything you need without compromise. How to wear the double bag? Under the arm, on the shoulder, or by hand, experimenting with every possible combination. Creativity also reigns when it comes to colors: from tone-on-tone pairings to the boldest contrasts, anything goes.
Tailoring details, to elevate the look
Quiet luxury is back, or perhaps it never really left. Proof comes from the return of tailored pieces to the runway, making us dream again with clean lines, classy designs, and high-end cuts. The color palette, neutral and versatile, is a hymn to good taste, trading excess for timeless refinement. From structured jackets with pronounced shoulders and strategic belts to tailored trousers with sharply defined silhouettes, fashion in 2026 makes one thing clear: minimalist elegance is still on trend.
