For spring 2026 fashion trends, designers are focused on expanding classic silhouettes and colors to uncharted territory – a soft departure from the over-the-top aesthetic we saw dominate the spring 2025 season. For the New York Fashion Week shows that ran from Sept. 11 to Sept. 17, designers provided a treasure trove of inspiration for our wardrobes this spring, and fortunately, you can start wearing these trends immediately.
The most prominent fashion houses enlisted major stars to wear their designs for the upcoming season, including “Love Island USA” star Olandria Carthen, who walked Sergio Hudson’s runway in cheetah-print separates. Other models like Slick Woods strutted in LaQuan Smith’s edgy, car-inspired show in an oversize orange coat and red boots, showcasing the power of bold color. And of course, household names like Christian Siriano dressed his models in extravagant gowns (and a Capri Sun bag that proved nostalgia is still a key factor in dressing for spring). Kim Shui and Jane Wade also gave standout presentations, taking over One World Observatory and a Brooklyn warehouse, respectively, and cementing power skirts as a major trend.Ahead, explore the spring 2026 trends we’re most excited about (and several that our editors have already started wearing) and shop similar pieces in stores now.
