2026 Trend Forecast: Styled by CHANEL
Classic codes softened, accessories amplified, and textures enriched. As we have seen through the CHANEL Spring/Summer 2026 Ready-to-Wear and Métiers d’Art 2026 collections, fashion in 2026 is going to be about grounding elegance in everyday life while celebrating boldness, clever details, and personal expression.

CHANEL’s Signature Tweed Suit
Coco Chanel introduced the tweed suit during the 1920s. Her design challenged the era’s norms by replacing stiff corsets and restrictive cuts with ease, mobility, and polish. It wasn’t just about appearance. She built the suit with a purpose: to support women living active lives. Behind this shift in style were key influences drawn from her personal relationships and surroundings.
