Spring / Summer 2026 Trends
- the retail edit to buy now

Spring/Summer 2026 will be a season defined by contrast: polish versus messy, romance versus edge, structure versus transparency. Retailers, the message is clear: curate with intention and buy ahead of the rush. Smart stores are stocking now.

Below, we listed the essential edits your store needs upcoming season.

Monochrome
Head-to-toe one color remains the ultimate power move. Styled in tonal layers and also fun with a contrast color pop.

What to order:
• Monochrome Blazers
• Secretary Blouses
• 80's Summer Pants
• Co-Ords

Our retail advise? Buy across multiple categories and merchandise by color story. Hang blazers, blouses and trousers together in one shade. Visual harmony equals higher sell-through.

80’s Spirit
The spirit of the 80's is alive and flourishing in 2026! 

What to order:
• 80’s Dresses
• 80’s T-Shirts
• 80’s 90’s Blazers
• Pleated Skirts
• 80’s Pants

Look for sculpted shoulders, cinched waists, graphic prints and fluid pleats. These pieces move your store with visual impact and styling potential. Merchandise them as a story: mix tailored blazers with feminine pleats, contrast bold tees with sharp silhouettes and gold jewelry. 

Messy Girl
A reaction to perfection / aesthetics and AI. To anything that feels too curated. The Messy Girl aesthetic celebrates effortlessness.

What to order:
• Designer Mix
• Designer Shirts
• Y2K Jeans 

Invite customers to knot a shirt slightly off-center, drape it over the shoulder, layer it over a logo tank and jeans. 

Spring Leather 
Leather transcends season. Also for men! For SS26, it’s soft and fluid.

What to order:
• 70’s Napa Leather Jackets 
• 90’s Y2K Leather Jackets Men
• 80’s & 90’s Leather Coats
• 80’s Leather Pants 

Soft silhouettes are key: leather that moves with the body. 

Sheer / Lingerie Layering
Transparency continues its quiet seduction. It’s all about layering.

What to order:
• Lingerie
• Slip Dresses
• Mesh and See-Through Blouses
• Mesh and See-Through Scarves 

Show customers how to build dimension: silky sheer over solid, lingerie under tailoring. When styled right, it feels refined and not revealing at all.

Scarf Styling
Scarves are no longer accessories: they’re statements.

What to order:
• Scarves Mix
• Bohemian / Folk Scarves

Style them as tops, in the hair, around the waist or on handbags. They are the ultimate add-on sale.

Utility / Guardian Design
Practicality meets polish. Utility remains strong but refined.

What to order:
• Carhartt / Dickies
• Curated Box: Utility
• Cargo Pants

Create a dedicated Utility corner in-store. Merchandise it as a lifestyle: practical, modern and wearable.

The coming months will accelerate quickly. Customers will look for complete stories, not single pieces.

Our tips:

• If an item is temporarily out of stock, keep a close eye on our stock notifier to make sure you’re first when something is back in stock again.
• Don’t overlook our Curated Boxes: 40kg, randomly picked within one theme. Perfect for creating statement corners in your boutique or curated edits in your webshop: from Utility Wear to Y2K Spring / Summer.
