As a fashion editor, I spend most of my working day, unsurprisingly, looking at clothes. Whether it's trawling the internet for the best new-in pieces on the high street, analysing the latest runway collections from the major fashion houses or finding dupes for celebrity red carpet styles, I see hundreds of items of clothing on a weekly basis. This means I'm able to closely track shifting trends and anticipate what's set to be big in fashion in the coming months.
For AW26, it's not just specific items that are proving popular but particular colours that are popping up all over brands' collections. Trend forecaster WGSN explains how this season's trending colours – a mix of calming neutrals and bold brights – 'reflect the need for balance, excitement and stability', dubbing 2026 the year of redirection and restoration.
