The main styles and silhouettes of autumn 2026
The focus of the autumn collections is on playing with the dynamics of movement and structured forms. Romantic ultraminis are being replaced by architectural and monumental solutions.
- Pleated with clear geometry: Pleated midi and maxi skirts made of thick woolen fabrics or eco-leather with deep, rigidly fixed folds.
- Updated Pencil Skirt: Straight-cut models with a high waist, deep front slits or accent zippers along the entire length.
- A-line silhouette made of thick fabrics: Laconic midi skirts that keep their shape thanks to the architectural cut and high-quality duplication.
- Floor-length wraparound maxi:Elongated models that create a spectacular vertical and visually elongate the silhouette.
Trendy materials and textures
Tactility is becoming a key trend. In the fall 2026 season, the emphasis is on traditional high-quality autumn canvases.
The focus is on textured tweed, suiting wool with the addition of cashmere, thick glossy and matte leather, as well as structured corduroy. For evening and cocktail options, designers actively use thick silk satin and velvet.
Current season color palette
The color scheme reflects deep, warming natural tones:
- Deep Chocolate and Burgundy: Rich shades of Chili Oil, Mocha and wine tones completely replace the basic black.
- Olive and pine: A noble green palette for business and everyday outfits.
- Graphite and creamy beige: A universal base for creating laconic looks in the style of “quiet luxury”.
What to wear with skirts this fall: styling ideas
The modern wardrobe is built on the contrast of volume and fit. Leather pencil skirts go perfectly with voluminous chunky knit sweaters or oversized hoodies. Pleated midi models look harmonious in a duet with structured jackets with emphasized shoulder lines, and wool maxi skirts with fitted turtlenecks and high leather boots that go under the hem.
Tailor's advice
When sewing or choosing a skirt from thick autumn fabrics, be sure to pay attention to the composition and quality of the lining. For wool and tweed, choose viscose or silk lining fabrics with an antistatic effect - this will prevent the product from deforming, sticking to tights and ensure a perfect fit on the hips.
