Spring 2026 trend roundup

Spring 2026 fashion has settled on four familiar silhouettes: cropped pedal pushers, straight shift dresses, lingerie-style tops and oversized windbreakers. (refinery29.com) Those looks are showing up in both runway collections and retail drops tied to the season. Refinery29’s April 8 roundup pointed to pedal pushers at Versace and Rabanne, shift dresses at Marc Jacobs and Sacai, lingerie dressing at Stella McCartney and Tom Ford, and windbreakers at Loewe and Fendi. (refinery29.com) Versace’s Spring Summer 2026 show in Milan framed its collection as “outrageous and uncomplicated elegance,” while Rabanne built Spring-Summer 2026 around bathing-suit construction and zip-front neoprene pants. Those two collections help explain why pedal pushers and other body-close cropped pants have re-entered the conversation this month. (versace.com) (fashion.rabanne.com) Marc Jacobs opened New York Fashion Week on February 9, 2026 with a 39-look runway show, and coverage of the collection tied it to his 1990s sportswear era, including the shift dresses that once became an editor uniform. Sacai’s Spring 2026 show in Paris, reviewed by Women’s Wear Daily in October 2025, returned to Chitose Abe’s core silhouettes and added a cleaner dress line to the season’s mix.

Stella McCartney’s Spring 2026 collection includes lace dresses, backless gowns and sculpted sweetheart necklines, while Tom Ford’s Spring Summer 26 assortment includes a fine sheer knit bralette among its women’s pieces. (stellamccartney.com) (tomfordfashion.eu) The windbreaker return is also splitting between technical and luxury versions. Women’s Wear Daily said Loewe’s Spring 2026 opening look evoked an unzipped scuba suit, and its review of Fendi’s Spring 2026 show said Silvia Venturini Fendi sent out silk-faille track jackets plus anoraks and windbreakers in perforated, laser-cut leather. (wwd.com 1) (wwd.com 2) Trend coverage across March and April suggests editors are reading these pieces less as one-off runway quirks and more as a spring wardrobe reset. Who What Wear’s March 2026 trend report highlighted “underwear as outerwear,” and another March report singled out “stylish windbreakers” as one of the season’s defining items. (whowhatwear.com 1) (whowhatwear.com 2) That mix helps explain the mood of Spring 2026: clothes that look pulled from the 1990s, gym bags or lingerie drawers, then remade in silk, leather, lace and technical fabric. The result is not one dominant silhouette so much as a narrow set of revived references appearing across brands from New York to Paris. (refinery29.com) (wwd.com) (voguehk.com)
