AW26 Trends:What to Wear This Season

Three trends defining how we dress this autumn winter. Sharper silhouettes, quieter fabrics, and a palette that earns its place. Here is what to wear this season and how to wear it.

The AW26 runways had a clear point of view: structure is back, and it knows exactly what it's doing. Sharp shoulders, fitted suiting, silhouettes that follow the body rather than hide it. Pair the Bella jacket or turn collar blazer with the Jules pencil skirt or leather pencil skirt for something that reads polished without trying too hard. The point isn't to be provocative. It's to be intentional.

It's not unusual for fall trends to find inspiration in the understated — whether it's heritage plaids, muted tones, or a palette borrowed from the landscape. This season's earthy edit is no different, but the execution is more refined than it sounds. Grey runs through everything: the Alix wool coat, the wool turn collar blazer, the grey wool pencil skirt, the Angler merino v-neck. Green appears in the Keen padded coat and the Cabo trousers in khaki. Layer in the cashmere v-neck in sand, the Pane shirt, or the grey wool scarf — and the point becomes clear. It's not about blending in. It's about being exactly where you meant to be.

The opposite of effort, done with a great deal of it. Knitwear that drapes instead of clings — the cashmere wrap cardigan in pearl, the boucle cardigan, the Erin cape sweater, the cashmere turtleneck. Silk and satin that moves when you do: the Lorde satin blouse, the Adeline satin trousers, the Ace satin midi skirt, the Suzi satin singlet, the bias satin pants in pearl. For something between the two, the Chez top in black or off-white, the cropped cream blouse, or the cashmere v-neck in sand. Finish with the Shea shearling coat in vanilla. Dress down in the right things and you'll always be dressed up enough.
