In a digital age, the physical sensation of touch is more important than ever. For the autumn/winter 2026 season, designers’ focus is therefore on tactile textured fabrics for outerwear. In line with a wider folkloric trend, many jackets this season showcase artisanal, handmade patchwork designs, a mix of various contrasting or complementary materials. Dense faux fur for coats is a trend, with a fresh and modern look in unusual patterns. Other collections include classic checks and tweeds for chic, feminine styles. Some designers emphasize capes as an important silhouette. The color palette is autumnal with shades such as brown, olive, burgundy red and gray.
