Zara Puts Spring/Summer 2026 Runway Trends on Shelves as Editors Map Easy Styling Moves

High-street rollouts show how runway ideas are being packaged into simple, repeatable styling moves.

Overview

  • Who What Wear distills seven runway takeaways into everyday updates, from silk scarves tucked under blazers and flipped-up lapels to leggings with flats, sweaters tied at the waist, double pendant necklaces, V-neck knits over button-downs, and a single pop of cerulean.
  • The publication highlights five top trends for 2026 tops, including sheer polka dots, checked button-ups shown by Dior, Chanel and Tod’s, exaggerated bows, dusty blue, and tassel-heavy pieces.
  • Zara’s latest arrivals closely track those signals with primary colors, fringe-led textures, lingerie-inspired sheers and lace, sporty-prep staples, balloon pants, nostalgic bag shapes, and V-cut vamp footwear, which Who What Wear cautions can sell out quickly.
  • Additional styling guidance favors low-cost refreshes using existing wardrobes, such as double-check pairings, oversized aviators, a single animal-print accent, sleek watches, and colored suede.
  • Editors frame Spring/Summer 2026 as a wearable season shaped by New York, Milan and Paris shows, with rapid translation from runway motifs to shoppable pieces.
