The 8 spring trends of 2026 I already see coming

Lace has been making its comeback for a few years now, but spring 2026 takes it one step further. Past seasons were all about long lace skirts and tops. This year it's about the details. Lace hair accessories, lace socks or a lace tote bag. Small additions that instantly lift an otherwise neutral outfit. Less is more here. But a little lace is a must.

The bigger, the better. Just ask Jacob Elordi ;) This spring, handbags won't be discreet. Think oversized totes and maxi bags that take up as much space as a small suitcase. In neutral tones, or in a bright colour as a statement. Besides the pure joy of finally fitting everything in your bag, they're simply the most beautiful accessories of the season. As my mom always said: a smart girl is ready for anything.

Capris surprised us last summer with their comeback, and what a hit that was. From sporty to business casual, there's little you can't pair them with. This spring, I predict you'll see them almost only with the staple piece that hangs in everyone's closet: the trench coat. Capris and a trench are the perfect duo for everyday moments that still look chic.

Comfort is everything. We know. But your joggers don't have to come off when you leave the house anymore. Dress them up with a heel, a statement necklace and a smart coat. Comfy but chic, and exactly the energy 2026 asks for. The line between loungewear and streetwear is blurrier than ever, and honestly, we're all for it.

Psst. I make those joggers myself. Find them at maritomodachi.com

An unexpected colour combination with a lot of attitude: bright purple next to sky blue. Softer, muted versions of these colours ruled the past few years. This season, I predict bold shades that match your bold personality. True purple with a radiant blue. Bold, happy and exactly the kind of colour statement that belongs to spring.

Just like the Arctic Monkeys song of the same name suggested: knee socks are coming. Forget the way we wore them in the late 2000s. This time they come in a fresh form. Think socks with texture, ribbed patterns or subtle details, paired with a skirt or shorts you wouldn't expect. The combination nobody saw coming.

No 2012 grunge revival, don't worry. The shirt tied around your hips returns this season in an elegant way. Paired with straight trousers, a midi skirt or even a chic set, it adds a relaxed touch that keeps a look from being too perfect. And that's exactly the point.

Small, original and full of character. This season, hair accessories are a conscious choice. Think chrome clips, scrunchies with a little something extra, pins that are more aesthetic than practical, and maybe even things that were never meant for hair but look great in it. Details that turn your hairstyle into a real part of your look. Details that make people look twice.
