Beauty and fashion trends forecast for 2026

Upcoming beauty and fashion trends for 2026 highlight a shift toward specific colors, textures, and styles. In fashion, mustard yellow is emerging as a sophisticated alternative to beige for autumn, while bright red—specifically cherry or tomato red—is predicted to be a must-have color for sweaters.

Hair trends are expected to feature the versatile short bob and the authentic, unkempt look of shaggy hair. Accessory trends include a return to vintage pearls, large maxi earrings, wide bracelets, and organic, irregularly shaped jewelry.

In the beauty sector, tinted lip oils are being positioned as a practical alternative to traditional lipsticks, offering hydration through botanical oils. Additionally, the ‘Velvet Skin’ matte makeup look is identified as a key trend for the autumn season.
