The big picture of the season is in the guide Fashion Trends Fall/Winter 2026/27.

Which dresses are in demand in 2026?

These dress types are said to be in demand this year:

• Muslin dress. A lightweight fabric, often worn in a single color.
• Maxi dress. Long lengths are often seen this season, frequently with boots.
• Dress with leopard print. The pattern is said to be a trend and likes to stand on its own.
• Knitted dress. A classic of the cold season, often in muted colors.
• Jumpsuit. One piece instead of two, often in soft fabrics.

Muslin dress: the fabric of the season

Muslin is said to be one of the fabrics of the season. What defines the fabric is explained in the guide What Is Muslin. The shop has, for example, the muslin dress in black with a wrap look and the off-shoulder muslin dress in taupe. Both are plain, so the rest does not have to do much: a cardigan, a pair of boots, done. Cardigans, short jackets and vests can be layered over them when it gets cooler.

• Black. Muslin dress in black, cardigan in cream, ankle boots in brown.
• Taupe. Off-shoulder dress in taupe, cardigan in camel, boots in black.

A selection is available under muslin dresses.

Maxi dress: long length with boots

The maxi dress is seen as a dress type that is easy to bring into fall. The Maxi Dress Flower in burgundy has a floral pattern and a V-neckline. Burgundy is one of the typical fall colors and goes with black, brown and cream. Boots or tall boots that peek out under the hem go with it.

• With a cardigan. Maxi dress in burgundy, short cardigan in cream, boots in black.
• With a belt. Maxi dress, narrow belt in brown, ankle boots.

You will find more styles under maxi dresses.

Dress with leopard print: the pattern as the centerpiece

Leopard print keeps appearing in season reports. The maxi dress with leopard print in brown carries the pattern on its own, so everything else stays simple. Black, beige and cream are calm partners. Shoes and bag stay in the background so that the pattern takes center stage. Accessories in brown or black pick up the tones of the pattern.

• With black. Leopard dress, black jacket, black ankle boots.
• With beige. Leopard dress, beige cardigan, brown boots.

Knitted dress: knit instead of woven

The knitted dress is said to be a classic of the cold season. It often comes in muted colors such as gray, brown, beige and black. With tights and boots it can be worn well into winter. Boots, a belt at the waist or a coat over it go with it. How to wear a knitted dress is shown in the guide How to Style a Knitted Dress.

Jumpsuit: one piece instead of two

The jumpsuit replaces top and pants and is quickly put on. If you have little time in the morning, it gives you an outfit in one go. The muslin jumpsuit in taupe/mix is an example from the shop. In fall a cardigan goes over it, with boots or sneakers.

You will find the styles under jumpsuits.

Dress in fall and winter: boots, cardigan, belt

A dress is not limited to summer. Three ingredients turn it into a fall piece:

• Boots. Ankle boots, boots or tall boots change the look noticeably. Ideas are in the guide Dress with Boots.
• Cardigan. A cardigan in cream, camel or gray goes with most colors of the season. More in the guide Dress with Cardigan.
• Belt. A narrow belt in brown or black defines a waist and gives a plain dress a detail.

How to wear a dress trend in everyday life

You do not have to replace your whole wardrobe. One dress is usually enough:

• One dress as the centerpiece. Color or pattern comes from the dress, everything else stays simple.
• Colors from your wardrobe. Black, cream, camel, brown and taupe can be mixed with each other.
• A jacket over it. A cardigan, blouson or coat turns the dress into a look for cooler days.
