More than 30 collections have been shown in the five months since this resort 2026 trend report was first published. It’s been updated to reflect that as these clothes and accessories arrive in stores.
Dare we say it? Is fashion really, actually, finally slowing down?
Among the 11 resort trends identified here, four—sports, utility, tailoring, and pajama dressing—build on tendencies that have been around for a season or two. We first noticed designers promoting the idea of hunkering down under the bedcovers on the fall 2026 runways, and it remained a key trend for spring 2026.
Fashion isn’t ready to kick its fascination with sport either, but there are new star players. First among them is Saint Laurent’s Anthony Vaccarello who has put an unexpected twist on the trend by pairing technical windbreakers with lace-trimmed tap pants and vertiginous heels with cherry pendants. (The styling references not only the house founder’s infamous Libération collection of 1971 but the sexually charged work of Guy Bourdin.) As for tracksuits, it’d be no sweat to put Alaïa’s navy leather or Alexander Wang’s gradient reflective sets in heavy rotation.
You can still find pencil skirts and pants with mall-rat proportions, but what looks new for resort are circle skirts channeling both a carefree Roman Holiday vibe and Christian Dior’s New Look silhouette. With skirts going big, pants are getting skinny—especially at Celine where newcomer Michael Rider seemed to be making a deliberate nod to Hedi Slimane’s narrow proportions. Rider’s union of American prep and Gallic bon chic bon genre gave a feeling of the unexpected to familiar tropes.
