Spring/Summer 2026 is officially serving fashion month chaos, and yes, we are here for it. Copenhagen, New York, London — done. Milan? Fully underway, with drama dialed to 11. This season, the runways and streets are finally speaking the same language: bold, playful, and just a little extra.

On the streets, polka dots, scarves, and flip-flops were basically mandatory. And no, this wasn’t a one-off — these trends strutted straight onto the runway, proving once again that street style is not just inspiration, it is the runway.

London brought the flirty flares: flyaway ties, neck scarves, tassels, shredding, and fringes danced across fabrics like they had their own zip code. Milan? Color exploded everywhere. Clashing tones, bright hues, and unapologetically strange combos popped up at Versace, Fendi, and Prada, reminding us that subtlety is so last season.

Purple, darling, purple. While recent circuits flirted with lavender, SS26 went deeper: think plums, deep purples, and full-on purple looks at Moschino, Jil Sander, Prada, Diesel — even Versace sprinkled it across accessories. Valentino paired it with mustard, because obviously, drama doesn’t do safe.

Texture is the secret weapon this season. Tassels are back in full swing, adding movement, playfulness, and a cheeky punk edge. Ahluwalia and Roksanda turned tassels into art, Jawara Alleyne gave us DIY-punk energy, and suddenly, every swish of fabric feels like a statement.

And let’s not forget Milan’s color chaos: Fendi served sky blue, bright red, and candy pink in a single look. Prada teased with pastel overload. Versace went full-on primary color layering. Basically, if your outfit isn’t fighting your eyes, you’re doing it wrong.

Back in CPHFW, the Scandinavian schools of style reminded us that sculptural silhouettes and textile wizardry are still very much a thing. Oversized pieces, exaggerated fabrics, and even concealed faces turned garments into full-on performances. The message is clear: fashion isn’t just worn — it’s staged.
