2026 Wardrobe Essentials

In a modern wardrobe, a blazer acts as the ultimate layering device. Wear it loosely buttoned over a crisp shirt and sheer knit, with rolled-up sleeves, or casually tied around the waist – in 2026, there’s really no wrong way to style it.

Balancing ease with polish, the slip-on shoe may have lost its backing, but it retains its footing in a slip-on-and-go silhouette that matches the season’s nonchalant mood. Style it with lived-in denim and a ladylike jacket for considered contrast.

The Row’s take on the classic black legging is as simple and streamlined as you’d imagine – easily tucked into boots, sneakers, or none of the above if you’re taking a page from the resort show. A belted jacket gives it instant structure.

Same trench coat, different font. In striking hues – from crimson to olive – the transitional staple is pushed into bold new territory. When it comes to styling, a sleek base recalibrates the scale.

When it comes to capacious, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink totes, Balenciaga’s Rodeo makes for a modern day Mary Poppins bag this season. Attach charms and lean into well-worn leather fabrications for an elegant, lived-in look.

Whoever said you only need one of each clearly never met Comme Si’s Classica shirt. Doubled up in unexpected colour pairings, they become a prism for playful personal style. Like kids in a candy store, why stop at one?

A tailored jacket always means business, but its partner-in-crime doesn’t have to be a pair of coordinating pants. Add flair with a contrasting sweater, a tie, or even brooch.

Clean lines, full hearts, can't lose – if there’s one hero item that’ll make your wardrobe feel entirely new, it’s a fitted jacket. Khaite’s leather take – with a high V-neck and heartstopping silver buttons – finds its match in rinse-wash denim and a touch of zebra.

This polished loafer from up-and-coming shoe brand, Christen, is an elevated take on the tried-and-true classic. It pairs just as well with jeans as it does with evening or office wear.
