2026’s Biggest Trends Explained: Bold Colour, Draped Dresses & Strong Shoulders

On this episode of SheerLuxe Fashion, Lu and Sapna break down their biggest trend predictions for 2026 – from the seismic creative director shuffle (with 15 major fashion house changes) to the runway themes set to define the year ahead. They unpack the rise of drapery and fluidity at Tove, Alaïa and Chloé, the move towards statement dressing and the return of the relaxed modern lady – think high-neck blouses, long gloves, corsetry styled with flats and unexpected fabric pairings at Prada, Dior, and Erdem. There’s also a deep dive into the bold block colours seen at Fendi, Loewe and Tove, plus the Pinterest-predicted return of 80s glamour or “Glamoratti”: power dressing, sculptural shoulders, chic leopard print, chunky belts and jewellery-first styling from brands like Bottega, Gucci and Alaïa. Finally, they round things off with the key accessories to know for 2026, from faux-fur and lace scarves to tassels, brooches, hair accessories, Dries Van Noten trainers and Erdem flats. If you want to know what you’ll actually be wearing this year, this is one to watch.
