10 main fashion trends of the spring-summer 2026 season0 Share

The spring-summer 2026 season is not the beginning of something new, but a major rethinking of the old. The global reboot of the industry has turned into a complex remix in which familiar ideas merge, repeat and take on new forms. Against the backdrop of dozens of designer debuts, fashion seems to have escaped from reality – into warm fantasies about a vacation or into a fictional game with historical silhouettes in the spirit of Marie Antoinette. Vogue.ua has collected the 10 most important fashion trends of the spring-summer 2026 season.

The return of Rococo

Ruffles, crinolines, skirt ensembles and pastel shades – fashion is playing Marie Antoinette again this season. Silhouettes reminiscent of 18th century luxury flooded the catwalks, while ironically rethinking the idea of femininity. You can find inspiration in the collections of Dior, Giambattista Valli and Vaquera.

Jazz rhythms

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Art Deco and The Great Gatsby. With it, low-cut dresses, gold and silver fringe, and voluminous robe de style—the graceful silhouettes that once symbolized the luxurious freedom of the Jazz Age—have returned.

Vacation effect

Sun and fun have long been synonymous with spring/summer collections. To convey the holiday vibe, designers have woven elements of diving and surfing gear into their shows, such as Loewe, Chloé, Rabanne and Jean Paul Gaultier, as well as bright tropical prints reminiscent of cocktails by the sea, as at Dries Van Noten and Christopher Esber.

Antigravity

In the new season, clothes are literally “separated” from the body. Designers are experimenting with wires, metal and feathers, creating structures that seem to be suspended in the air. The effect is as if the clothes have a life of their own.

A woman who can do everything

Aprons are back, but no longer as a symbol of home life. Miu Miu showed them in a new light: functional, stylish, sometimes even decorated with decorative elements. Fashion once again reminds us that clothes are not just a decoration, but a way of living, acting, working.

Fringes are the main decorative accent of the season. Bottega Veneta has reimagined outerwear with thousands of fringes, Chanel with feathers, and Diotima with silk threads that move with every step. This is fashion that dances.

Dream world

Turning to the world of dreams, the designers went further than the pajama theme that began at the men's shows. White, sheet-like cotton was transformed into light dresses that casually enveloped the body, sometimes with a “crumpled effect”, as if after a dream. In addition, various bathrobes became the main characters of the catwalks.

Fantasy without limits

Some of the imaginative elements of the spring-summer collections were probably inspired by Paul Poiret's exhibition in Paris. The “King of Fashion,” as he was once called, freed women from corsets and often drew inspiration from national costumes and bold color schemes. Pleated trousers, skirts and capris became a real sensation.

Utilitarian clothing

Practicality and style have come together in a new uniform trend – restrained silhouettes, clean lines and every possible shade of khaki. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons at Prada see it as a new version of female power, while Balmain adds a bohemian lightness. As a result, “workwear” becomes fashionable armor for the modern woman.

Body in motion

Jersey is the main material of the coming spring. Plastic and comfortable, it moves with the body, reminiscent of the freedom of dance. The designers found inspiration in the works of Pina Bausch and Martha Graham, and the main message is that freedom does not need decor, only movement.
