Trend colours for spring and summer 2026 

The colour palette for 2026 reflects a new longing for clarity and optimism: from silky natural tones to rich, confident colours. Discover the highlights: 

• Monochrome styles remain a defining statement of elegance. Looks in a single colour family appear refined and harmonious, and are particularly popular this season in cool pastels and soft natural tones.  

• Off-white is the new star of the 2026 season. This shade embodies understated luxury and pairs beautifully with refined natural materials. Discover our selection in the trend colour of 2026.  

• Silky natural tones: beige, camel and a delicate light grey form the basis for elegant everyday looks. They are particularly luxurious in linen or lightweight silk. 
   

• Deep Blue & Green: deep, rich blue tones are establishing themselves as a strong alternative in 2026. Green tones such as sage and khaki reflect a growing appreciation for natural, grounded elegance.  
   

• Chocolate brown: brown remains a trend colour even in summer. In its lightweight summer version, it appears warm and sensual and forms the perfect contrast to light brown tones. 
   

• Sunset pastels: rosé, mint and apricot are getting an update. In 2026, they will appear less ‘girlish’ and more modern and mature thanks to clean cuts and matte fabrics. 

Key styles for Spring/Summer 2026 

The new collection combines timeless classics with the most exciting trends from the catwalks. This season, fashion stands out for its refreshing simplicity. Clean-cut basics form the foundation. A carefully chosen highlight – a striking pattern, a special texture or a refined detail – gives each outfit its distinctive character. The most important themes for spring/summer 2026 are: 

• Summery knits: knitwear remains a key element. For S/S 2026, knits are ultra-light, featuring unusual patterns, subtle transparency and fashionable crochet effects. 
   

• Co-ords (two-piece sets): perfectly coordinated. Perfectly coordinated co-ords are a confident fashion statement for those who value effortless style and versatility. Top and bottom harmonise beautifully in colour, pattern and fabric, yet work just as well when styled separately. 
   

• Modern tailoring & waistcoats: the trouser suit becomes summer-ready. Wide palazzo trousers and oversized blazers made of summery blends or linen are just as appropriate in the office as they are at special occasions. A key piece is the waistcoat, which will be worn in 2026 as part of a three-piece suit or on its own as a top. 
   

• Denim Luxury: denim appears in light washes, particularly fashionable in denim skirts and in new, soft fabrics such as Lyocell blends. The ‘all-over denim’ look remains on trend, but is refined with elegant details such as ruffles. 
   

• Sheer elegance: transparent lace or eyelet inserts and layers of chiffon add lightness and movement to an outfit. Layering transparency over a tailored piece creates a refined and contemporary look. 
   

• Boho revival & florals: romantic boho elements such as lace and flounces remain important. In 2026, they will be paired with large, almost artistic floral prints that exude summery joie de vivre. 
   

• Day Glam: glamour moves effortlessly into daytime. The new Day Glam focuses on elegance and the exciting coming together of contrasts: delicate lace meets casual blazers, subtle shimmer is paired with denim, and tailored trousers are finished with refined embellishments. These looks deliberately break with expectations and make glamour suitable for everyday wear. 
   

• Polka dots: dots are back, either in classic black and white or in a modern interpretation in varying sizes. 
   

• Safari Utility: large patch pockets, belt solutions and earth tones set the tone. This trend is the perfect blend of functionality and high fashion.
