dit zijn de trends voor SS26 uit Madrid

From 17 to 21 September the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid (MBFW Madrid) celebrated its 40th anniversary. From sculptural tailoring to the revival of the Slipdress, designers opt this spring/summer 2026 season for a refined and pragmatic wardrobe, which only leaves room for playfulness.

The collections show a modest and thoughtful aesthetics. A sober palette and silhouettes that find a balance between structured and ethereal, dominate the image. The story points to a more introspective and conscious fashion, characterized by a search for subtle refinement. Details, from finishes to choice of materials, reinforce the duality between sensitivity and character. This is in line with a time when industry focuses on moderation.

Below we present a selection of the most important trends of the catwalk. These give an indication of the evolution and the direction of Spanish fashion.

Sculptural blazer

This season Tailoring is returning with a renewed approach and a clear intention to get rid of the classic codes. On the Madridian catwalk, the SS26 collections show blazers with structured shoulders, sculptural silhouettes and volumes. These get the lead role in soft tones such as cream, mint green or powder pink.

Far from traditional stiffness, tailoring is re -interpreted from a perspective of refined femininity. In daily life these pieces can be worn as a total look for a polished result. Another option is the combination with jeans, where the blazer becomes the eye -catcher of the outfit.

Flowers in motion

Airy floral designs are a fixed value this season, with light substances such as organza or georgette and prints with a watercolor effect. The palette varies from powder tones, soft green and faded pink, balanced with warmer accents that add intensity, such as coral or orange.

The slip dress

For spring/summer 2026, the collections reinterpret the slip dress with a contemporary look. Brands such as Yolancris and Palomo Spain opt for flowing silhouettes that play with subtle transparency and light embroidery, which ensures almost ethereal refinement. The interesting thing about this item of clothing is the adaptability. It functions as a versatile base on which multiple styles can be built.

Theatrical hats

Hats are important styling pieces that take the look to a higher level than just textile. From oversized edges to tight volumes with architectural finishes, the accessory balances between retro, playful and avant-garde.

Brands such as Palomo Spain and Isabel Sanchis give it a theatrical twist, with sculptural silhouettes that make the accessory a real aesthetic statement. Other designs in raffia or natural fibers make the hats more suitable for daily use.

Darkness

Dresses and blouses from Gray Chiffon, with frayed finishes and wide belts, create a story of dark romance on the catwalk, far away from traditional sweetness. It is a proposal for a more introspective and urban femininity, which balances between delicate and the rebellious in a context that invites moderation.

In general, the aesthetic language of the emerging designers on Sunday’s ego catwalk contrasts with the more modest and conservative interpretations that could be seen on the catwalk. This reflects a general course of fashion in a time when restraint and austerity gain ground.
