Plaid, Reinvented! : Plaid never fully disappears, but 2026 is bringing it back in a revised version of the 90s-chic style. Think oversized plaid jackets, mismatched color combos, relaxed trousers, skirts, and scarves. Color-wise, it’s not just neutrals. While grey and brown pastel colors are still big, there will also be a range of unexpected colors, such as washed reds, faded blues, and olive greens.
Polka dot: Polka dots are a major fashion trend for 2026, returning in all different kinds of ways. From dainty dots on blouses to oversized spots on prints and dresses. Expect to see polka dots oversized, deconstructed, or mixed with other patterns (such as plaid). Thanks to Spring/Summer 2025 runways, the pattern is back in full force.
Slouchy bags: for 2026, slouchy bags remain a major trend. We’re still seeing love for bags with a lived-in vibe. These slouchy and soft silhouettes have come to define modern luxury: soft leather, relaxed shapes. Nothing stiff, nothing overly structured. The Chloé Paddington Bag is a perfect example: oversized, a little messy, relaxed, with an effortlessly cool feel.
