Autumn 2026 trends: Tamaris footwear and German Book Prize finalists

As autumn 2026 approaches, several lifestyle and cultural trends are emerging in Germany. In the fashion sector, Tamaris has introduced a new trend of mule-style slippers designed for both indoor and outdoor wear. These shoes feature faux-fur linings and decorative lacing, offering a blend of comfort and style in colors such as dark brown and beige.

In the literary world, the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels has announced the six finalists for the 2026 German Book Prize. The selection, to be awarded in early October alongside the Frankfurt Book Fair, includes diverse works such as Shida Bazyar’s ‘Die Lücken’, which explores German history and identity, and Valeria Gordeev’s novel concerning family dynamics between Berlin and Moscow.
