Fashion and beauty trends highlight upcoming seasonal styles

The fall 2026 fashion season is characterized by a trend of subverting expectations. Key runway developments include knitwear used as evening layers, tuxedos adapted for daylight, and dropped waistlines featured by designers such as Simone Rocha, Tory Burch, and Chanel. Other notable trends include the use of red accents and the revival of statement cummerbunds.

In retail, Reiss has released a 2026 partywear collection featuring velvet tailoring, sheer fabrics, and lace in deep tones like teal, chocolate brown, and red. The collection is designed for versatile use across winter weddings and holiday events.

In beauty, Shiseido’s Exclusive Ultimune Power Infusing Eye Concentrate is noted for its hydrating properties. The product utilizes yeast extract, rose water, and ginkgo biloba to address puffiness and dark circles with a lightweight jelly texture.
