SS26 Trends
Your spring pick-me-up has officially arrived. Loud and proud is the name of the game for SS26, and if there’s one quality the runways have shared, it’s a spirit of conviviality and optimism. From an intellectual, “literary inspired” spin on a yesteryear aesthetic, to statement skirts and a new-found enthusiasm for blocky, bright colors, these are some of the trends you shouldn’t be without this season.

BLOCKY BRIGHTS
Give your neutrals some much deserved R&R. This spring, surface those blocky, bright, joy-sparking hues.
There are two great ways to recreate this runway trend. 1) Choose a unifying, bright tone for head-to-toe monochrome à la Veronica Beard’s lavender satin skirt with a corresponding pastel sweater from Maje. 2) Freshen up softer tones or pastels you already own with an injection of primary color.
Top it all off with a trusty bag and pumps from a seriously clutch brand to know: Mansur Gavriel. Fear not if your look is giving box of crayons—this is exactly the enthusiasm we’re going for.
THE STATEMENT SKIRT
Calling all maximalists! The statement skirt is here. Think pieces with extra tactility and interesting proportions—we’re talking feathered, furry, and outright larger-than-life fabulous.
The coolest thing about this trend is that it’s not exclusively for evening or party looks. That’s right. You can wear your maximum-impact skirt to the office, too. How’s that for some midweek zhuzh?
A Styling such an extroverted piece may seem daunting to some, but it couldn’t be easier—keep it simple on top. Pair this Carolina Herrera pleated faille number with a streamlined broderie anglaise shirt from Veronica Beard, a neutral polo neck for cooler days, or a staple T-shirt you’ve owned for years. Finish the look with pared-back sandals from Toteme and your every-spring-day accessories. Still doesn’t feel totally like spring out? Layer this Bally utilitarian jacket on top.
UPTOWN GIRL
Librarian-chic meets Upper East Side nostalgia (cue Blair Waldorf). This trend is like the ultra-sophisticated cousin of last year's modern prep moment.
Think styles with romantic undertones—we’re talking lace, chiffon, and tweed—and a thoughtful, literary edge. Mix and match this tweed jacket from Veronica Beard with an Oscar de la Renta gingham midi dress.
As far as shoes go, we love these Tibi slingback sandals for their city-commute to dinner-date versatility. And, those reading glasses you’ve relegated to your bedside table? Wear them with your other finishing touches—like a Zimmermann gold-plated bracelet—to round off this bookish look.
