Fashion houses like Loewe, Dior, and Fendi have featured outfits in colors such as electric blue, yellow, and red
The 2026 spring and summer fashion landscape is embracing a bold, maximalist aesthetic, moving away from the “quiet luxury” of previous years. Here are a few looks that we could see next year.
Loud luxury
Designers in New York, Paris, Milan, and London have showcased looks involving voluminous silhouettes, luxurious fabrics, and chunky jewelry. Fashionistas say the runways signal a shift into “loud luxury.”
Colors
The era moves away from pastels towards vibrant block colors. Fashion houses like Loewe, Dior, and Fendi have featured outfits in colors such as electric blue, yellow, and red.
Such colors can be styled as singular statement pieces to command attention.
Textures
Layering designs and embellishments also play a critical role this season, with fringe, tassels, and ruching appearing across major collections of Balmain, Ellie Saab, and Louis Vuitton.
Forecasters suggest that trends featuring eye-catching embellishments often become popular during periods of global economic uncertainty. Such statement pieces usually help cover the everyday outfit underneath.
Other fashion trends
The traditional trench coat is making a comeback, as is structured office wear.
The upcoming season encourages maximalism and high-energy style over subtle tones and looks.
