The Team’s Fashion Trend Predictions for 2026
With AW26 Fashion Week just around the corner, excitement is building across the fashion world, and our office is no exception. As we look ahead to the biggest fashion trends of 2026, our team has been speculating on the styles, colours and silhouettes set to dominate the year ahead. From nostalgic throwbacks to bold statement details, 2026 fashion is shaping up to be a confident blend of experimentation and individuality.
SS26 Fashion Week offered an early glimpse into what’s coming, with florals, lace, sheer fabrics and striking colour blocking leading the conversation. Whether your style leans minimalist, texture driven or experimental, 2026 trends are all about refreshing familiar looks with a modern edge. Curious about what’s next? We asked our team at HQ to share their fashion trend predictions for 2026 - here’s what they had to say.
Claire: Cerulean Blue
Claire is predicting a strong link between pop culture and fashion in 2026, particularly with the much-anticipated release of The Devil Wears Prada 2. With iconic characters like Andy and Miranda continuing to influence style decades later, she expects Cerulean Blue to make a major comeback. It’s a standout summer shade, and one we can easily imagine flooding both runways and wardrobes alike.
Estelle: Prints Gone Wild
Animal print is firmly back, and Estelle believes leopard print will continue to dominate throughout 2026. Fuelled by the rise of the ‘mob wife aesthetic’, bold prints and rich textures are appearing across coats, accessories and statement pieces, and this trend shows no sign of slowing down.
Cleo: Grey Tones & Asymmetrical Silhouettes
While warmer months usually embrace vibrant colour, Cleo predicts grey tones will feature more heavily in everyday outfits. Building on the ongoing revival of 90s and 00s fashion trends, she also sees asymmetry playing a bigger role, from off-centre necklines to uneven hems and layered looks.
Lucy: The Return of Skinny Jeans
Nostalgia continues to shape fashion trends, and Lucy is calling a controversial comeback: skinny jeans. As looser silhouettes take a step back, fitted denim is expected to return, especially styles designed to be tucked neatly into knee-high boots.
Jude: Snake Print, Burgundy & Functional Accessories
Jude’s 2026 fashion forecast includes snake print taking centre stage, alongside sheer milky-pink nails and no end in sight to the palette of burgundy, deep browns and rich neutrals. Accessories are becoming more practical too, with multi-pocket bags, zips and functional detailing leading the way.
Olivia: Silk Scarves
Olivia predicts foulards will rise in popularity throughout 2026. Effortlessly chic and endlessly versatile, silk scarves can be styled around the neck, in the hair, tied to bags or even worn as tops. With a subtle Parisian influence, they’re the perfect accessory to elevate any outfit!
Regardless of trends, how you put together your outfits, accessories and style yourself is entirely up to you. The more authentic it feels to you the better, because you’ll be radiating confidence.
