Fashion Trends for Men and Women: Fall-Winter Seasons 26-27
In the world of fashion, the upcoming 2026/27 season promises an exciting mix of styles and trends. Tatiana Aldrich, a customer and trend consultant at the trend forecasting agency WGSN, recently unveiled three major trends that will shape the fashion landscape for both men and women.
For men, the focus lies on key items such as crewneck sweaters, heavyweight and textured jerseys, hoodies, half-zip tops, graphic t-shirts, commuter-friendly office shirts, modern heritage shirts, off-season resort shirts, dress shirts, quirky button-downs, barrel-legged, slouchy, cropped pleated and flared-leg pants, baggy cargos, heirloom aviator jackets, field jackets, bomber jackets, Harrington jackets, trench coats, and the easy double-breasted blazer. The theme of Power Play reframes the suit as a statement of strength for a new generation.
On the other hand, the women's fashion scene is buzzing with trends like the fleece jacket, the country club sweatshirt, the floaty dress, the smart polo, the sports jersey, the boho tunic, the material mix shirt, the tailored mod shell, the romantic ruffle blouse, the slim suede shirt, fit-and-flared mid-length skirts, A-lines in suede, ornate and tiered skirts, mod minis or winter sarongs, plush, smart cargos, barrel-legs, relaxed tailored slacks, the luxe mini, the tea dress, drop waist dress, soft volume dress, sculpted shoulder dress, the fashion raincoat, the hyper texture coat, the new mod coat, and the track jacket.
One of the standout trends for women is Street-Storical, a hybrid of function and expression that uses patterns, volume, sleeves, cinched waists, lots of ruffles, and exaggerated colours. Cult Classics for womenswear focuses on quality, durability, and long-term design. The Chic of the Norm is about elevating the everyday and pushing materials further into luxury.
The third macro trend, Empowered Play, revolves around play as self-expression in design. In menswear, this translates into jarring pairings that emphasize self-expression and nostalgia, with contrasting textures, different patterns, and silhouettes. Sustainability is woven throughout Empowered Play with recyclable, reusable, and modifiable designs. For women, Playful Simplicity works minimal forms into something striking and joyful.
Surreal for Real, another trend, is grounded and playful, reminiscent of rock styling. This theme can be seen in both menswear and womenswear, with a focus on unique and eye-catching designs that push the boundaries of traditional fashion.
These trends, presented by Tatiana Aldrich, promise an exciting and dynamic fashion landscape for the 2026/27 season, offering something for everyone and encouraging self-expression and creativity in fashion choices.
