Translation: machine translated
Thanks to trend forecasts, we can already take a look into the future now. And shape it. For example, if you like the colours predicted for spring 2026, you can help shape them today.
Spring/summer 2026 sounds a long way off. But for the fashion world, which likes to think ahead, it's the most normal thing in the world to think about the future. The designs for spring/summer 25 are already ready and waiting to be presented at one of the upcoming Fashion Weeks.
Logically, new inspiration for silhouettes, prints and colours will soon be needed. The latter has now been provided by the Worth Global Style Network (WGSN). A trend forecasting company with offices in New York, London, Hong Kong and São Paulo. WGSN uses analyses of hypes, data, social listening and trends on social media to create consumer and product design forecasts as well as colour predictions. What's in store for spring/summer 26 in this respect?
Blue-green aka "transformative teal"
According to WGSN, petrol green reflects the desire to reconnect with nature in the face of climate change and to act in a more ecologically responsible way.
Blue-light grey aka "Blue Aura"
The soft blue has a calming effect and its name is intended to allude to a healing, soothing effect. According to WGSN, "Blue Aura" also stands for gender inclusivity.
Mint aka "Jelly Mint"
Whether you're a child or an adult, the nostalgic shade of mint is designed to bring generations together while promoting resilience and mental health.
Amber yellow aka "Amber Haze"
The rich, greenish colour is said to represent earth, longevity and mindfulness. It falls into the category of warm jewel tones (such as ruby red and emerald green) and is intended to visually counteract digitalisation. [[product:13316457,20157640,16182878]]
Neon pink aka "Electric Fuchsia"
According to WGSN, this loud symbiosis of pink and purple reflects the anger and frustration at ever-increasing social inequality. On the other hand, it represents the embodiment of the multisensory reaction to life with artificial intelligence.
A lot of message for a handful of conventional colours. Meaning or not - which of the five trend colours do you see yourself wearing in spring/summer 26 - or already now?
