THE SPRING-SUMMER 2026 TRENDS

Spring-Summer 2026 plays with the balance between fluidity and structure. The Cloud Dancer illuminates the season, while the oversized blazer asserts itself, worn over shorts or short skirts. Slip dresses infuse a light sensuality, and the brooch returns as a signature detail. A minimalist, fresh, and decidedly modern wardrobe.

At the border of off-white and pearly gray, the Cloud Dancer asserts itself as the manifest hue of the women's wardrobe as the sunny days approach. Popularized by Pantone at the beginning of 2026, this airy shade charms with its subdued elegance and modernity.

Neither distinctly cold nor truly warm, it bathes the silhouette in a diffuse light, evoking the softness of a veiled sky. A color that never imposes itself, but settles in with clarity.

In the women's wardrobe, the Cloud Dancer expresses itself instinctively. It can be found on minimalist tops, elegant tote bags, delicate knits, or short-sleeved polos, where its softness reveals the precision of the lines.

Color enhances both precise cuts and more fluid volumes, resonating naturally in luxurious fabrics like airy silk, textured linen, or delicate cashmere.

Easy to tame, the shade Cloud Dancer naturally pairs with sandy tones and powdery pastels, revealing its full strength when combined with a deep, almost graphic black. More than just a color, it conveys an attitude: that of discreet, contemporary luxury, both controlled and intensely desirable.

The Cloud Dancer is now establishing itself as the key shade in the men's wardrobe. Between off-white and pearl gray, this delicate hue exudes instinctive elegance, almost obvious. Whether it adorns a cap by Jacquemus, sneakers by Valentino or a jacket by AMI Paris, the Cloud Dancer illuminates the silhouette with precision, never weighing it down.

For the spring-summer 2026 season, the tailored oversized blazer emerges as a key piece in the women's wardrobe. It maintains its voluminous and structured silhouette, but is reinvented with a subtly defined waist that enhances the overall look.

Crafted from lightweight and fluid materials, available in neutral tones, it embodies a perfect balance between modern comfort and confident elegance, suitable for both casual-chic and sophisticated outfits.

In chocolate wool at Helmut Lang, grey and draped at Balmain, or punctuated with discreet tweed-like patterns at Acne Studios, the fitted jacket emerges as the must-have piece of the moment. Spotted on both catwalks and the streets, it reshapes the silhouette with confidence, marking the strong comeback of a structured, modern, and casual look.

The masculine core corporate style marks the great comeback of the office wardrobe — reinvented, relaxed, free from any rigidity. The suit by Balmain elegantly structures the silhouette, while the impeccable shirt by The Kooples and the patterned tie by Les Deux infuse a subtle touch of modernity.

To break the rules and anchor the look in the present, the ensemble balances perfectly with a straight jeans with a washed effect by Acne Studios.

Power is no longer in stiffness but in calm mastery. Worn loose, offset, sometimes intentionally imperfect, the corporate core transforms professional uniform into a stylistic language: a modern, conscious elegance where authority is conveyed through style rather than constraint.

On the catwalks, the leg is freed and asserts itself. At Prada, Versace, or Chloé, women dare to go short without hesitation: mini skirt like the graphic Réédition vinyl model from Courrège, short velvet shorts from Zadig&Voltaire, and even, for the boldest, the elevated daytime brief turned into a fashion statement.

The look is bold, confident, sensual without ever being gratuitous. The message is clear: showing one's legs becomes a stylish gesture, a signature.

For men, the short length is asserting itself with the same confidence. Say goodbye to shy lengths: make way for sharp cuts, worn high on the thigh, which redefine the silhouette and inject a new energy into the men's wardrobe.

Sometimes chic with a structured shirt, sometimes casual with a simple tank top, it embodies a more liberated, more bodily fashion where the body is no longer hidden but celebrated. You might fall for the striped model from AMI Paris or even for the beige poplin version from Prada.

For the Spring-Summer 2026 season, the dress embodies a free and expressive femininity. A mini length to elongate the silhouette, it plays with proportions and confidently reveals the leg.

Node details, placed at the waist or delicately on the hips, create a look that is both romantic and contemporary.

Fringes bring a couture aura and movement with every step, while pleated or ruffled styles like those from Loulou de Saison and Claudie Pierlot celebrate lightness and fluidity. A season where the dress becomes a true playground for style, between elegance and boldness.

In 2026, the slip dress leaves the bedroom to become a full-fledged couture piece, symbolizing a free and confident elegance. Inspired by lingerie, the dress becomes a second skin: delicate straps, fluid cuts, and subtle transparencies celebrate an intimate elegance, never ostentatious.

At Vaillant, the slip dress is partially adorned with lace, modernizing it and evoking a soft yet assertive femininity. At Valentino, the slip dress explores a poetic and glamorous dimension. The house of Rabanne, on the other hand, adds sparkling rhinestones to the front and back for a chic and festive touch.

Seen on the most influential runways of the season, the brooch makes a grand comeback with an elegance that breaks free from traditional codes.

On the Spring-Summer 2026 fashion shows, it emerged as a strong accent at prestigious fashion houses like Chanel, which showcased oversized floral brooches on its jackets and tweeds, and Miu Miu, Tory Burch, and Mugler, who adorned blazers and coats with pins designed as true creative jewelry.

For men, it has even been revisited by Wales Bonner on hats or by Valentino integrated into structured suits.

Today, far from being a mere detail, the brooch is the natural ally of the blazer, adding a touch of daring or assumed refinement to both feminine and masculine silhouettes.

Spring-Summer 2026 sketches a fashion in a delicate balance between structure and lightness. From the airy silhouettes of Cloud Dancer to expertly tailored oversized blazers, the wardrobe plays with contrasts and controlled volumes.

Corporate core asserts itself in men's fashion with a confident elegance, while the short length — embraced by both women and men — frees the body and infuses a contemporary energy. As a final touch, the brooch stands out as the signature detail, capable of transforming a look and defining a style.

A season where style is crafted in detail, embracing daring, precision, and modernity.
