Relaxed luxury defines the winter trends for 2026

Although winter still seems a long way off on these sun-drenched days, we at Sevens are secretly already looking forward to fall. The stunning fall and winter collections for ’26–’27 are sure to be part of the reason!

From Fendi to Dries Van Noten to Bottega Veneta, the fashion houses are once again surprising us. We’re seeing five distinct winter trends characterized by effortless elegance, iconic designs, and just the right amount of nonchalance.

1. A Look into the Archives

This winter, iconic designs from many well-known brands are taking center stage. This fresh take on archival pieces stems not so much from nostalgia as from a desire for the bags’ distinctive character and enduring value.

The Fendi Baguette continues to exert a major influence on the fashion scene. Although this bag debuted thirty years ago, its compact shape remains surprisingly relevant.

At Balenciaga, the legendary City Bag is inspiring a new generation. The 2026 City Bag comes in supple suede and vintage leather.

Bottega Veneta is bringing the sculptural Veneta Bag and the elegant Campana Bag back from the archives. Alongside this striking comeback, the Andiamo Bag remains an absolute favorite. This contemporary bag perfectly aligns with the demand for understated elegance.

Chloé, too, is revisiting one of its most beloved designs.The Paddington bag combines a soft silhouette with a signature oversized clasp. The Marcie Bag also remains a stap le thanks to its feminine and practical design.

 

2. Materials and colors full of character

Rich colors and materials full of character define the winter collections. When it comes to materials, perfection gives way to character. Think vintage-inspired leather with a soft patina and materials that only get more beautiful as time goes by. In terms of colors, deep shades take center stage. Expect all shades of brown, burgundy, navy blue, and khaki.

3. Sophisticated animal prints

Animal prints are making a comeback. Not as a bold statement, but as a subtle accent in your outfit. We’re seeing a snake print at Dries Van Noten, zebra stripes at Fendi, and a leopard print at Gianvito Rossi. Or how about Dalmatian spots? Either way, animal prints add extra depth to classic silhouettes.

4. Sneakers deluxe

Luxury sneakers have become an essential part of any wardrobe. For the winter of ’26–’27, the focus is on sophisticated styles crafted from high-quality materials. Discover the new Prada Sneaker and beloved styles such as the Miu Miu Technical Tyre Sneaker or the Bottega Veneta Orbit.

5. At a subtle height

Flatforms are back in style. You’ll find the perfect balance between height and comfort in styles like Balenciaga’s Alaska Slides, Prada’s Shearling Loafers, or Gianvito Rossi’s Carol Flatform Sandals. Chloé is also embracing height with its Nama sneakers and slides.
Prefer an elegant heel? Femininity makes its appearance with elegant slingbacks and sophisticated sandals. The subtle heel height adds a touch of lightness to the winter collection and has a vintage feel with brands like Miu Miu and Prada.
