Spring 2026: A Season of Colour, Craft and Character
There’s something wonderfully optimistic about spring fashion. As hemlines swish, colours burst back into focus and the new season’s collections land, it’s impossible not to feel inspired. The Spring/Summer 2026 runways delivered just that - a sense of renewal, joy and craftsmanship. And while we might not all be shopping straight from the catwalk, there’s plenty we can take from the designers’ cues and translate into our wardrobes at The Decorium.
Statement Skirts
The skirt takes centre stage this season. Dramatic proportions, structured cotton maxis, and bold colours made appearances everywhere from Prada to Carolina Herrera. Loewe’s sculptural shapes and Proenza Schouler’s voluminous cotton styles proved that a statement skirt can make the simplest outfit look considered. Pair yours with a crisp white tee or a neat knit to balance the proportions - easy, wearable, yet instantly elevated.

Definitive Denim
Denim is evolving again, proving its place as a foundation of modern dressing. Structured jackets with strong shoulders, sculpted shapes, and embroidered jeans ruled the runways at Balmain and Alexander McQueen. It’s denim, but elevated - think clever cuts, interesting washes and silhouette over stretch. This is the season to trade in your classic jeans for something with a little more personality.
Craft & Texture
Texture is having a major moment. From Chloé’s artisanal fringe detailing to Bottega Veneta’s tactile weaves, the focus is on the hand-touched and the heartfelt. Designers like Dries Van Noten, Loewe and Alaïa championed craft through unexpected fabric pairings - matte next to metallic, soft next to structured - while buttons, fringing and embroidery added thoughtful finishing touches. For us, it’s a call to mix materials and celebrate the little details - that scalloped edge or lace finish that makes something feel truly special.

Victorian Revival
Romance met rebellion on the Tom Ford and McQueen catwalks, where lace and ruffles were tempered with sharper, stronger fabrics. The result? A beautiful balance of soft femininity and confident structure. It’s the perfect trend for those who love a little flourish without feeling frilly.
Florals (Still) for Spring
Yes, florals for spring - not groundbreaking but they’re too beautiful not to mention. Chloé’s joyful opening looks reworked archival prints, bringing 1950s swimwear tones to contemporary silhouettes. Think painterly petals, sun-soaked colour palettes and soft, breezy shapes. Whether it’s a blouse, a midi dress or even a scarf, this is the floral renaissance we’re more than happy to welcome back.

Colour Theories
If winter was about restraint, spring is pure self-expression. Colour took centre stage in every form imaginable: buttery yellows, tomato reds at Chanel, fuchsia pinks at Alaïa, and zesty lime at Prada. Balenciaga’s Cloud Dancer, a soft off-white chosen as Pantone’s Colour of the Year, offered the perfect neutral contrast. The takeaway? There’s no single palette to follow - wear what brings you joy. A pop of citrus with your neutrals or a clash of brights? Both feel right this season.

Monochrome Moments
Of course, for those who prefer a pared-back palette, Toteme delivered the dream - a head-to-toe monochrome collection of easy separates in black, white and everything in between. It’s simplicity at its most sophisticated. We’ll be channelling this mood with clean silhouettes, crisp shirts and tailored trousers with special detailing that do all the talking.

The Spring/Summer 2026 collections were a masterclass in joy, craft and personality - proof that fashion can be both inspiring and wearable. Designers reminded us of the beauty in detail, the power of colour, and the importance of clothes that make us feel something.
At The Decorium, we love taking these big-picture runway moments and translating them into beautiful, wearable collections you’ll reach for all season long - the kind that make everyday dressing feel a little more special. A little more joyful.
