As Who What Wear editors, we spend a lot of time analyzing upcoming trends—seeing them months early during fashion week—and shopping online. Given this, we're all very well-versed in what's to come for fall 2026.

A few trends from fall 2025 will carry over: capris, faux-fur coats, Flore Flore basics, high-V-neck tops, high-vamp shoes, and satin and silk pants. There are even items that feel less like trends at this point and more like timeless fall staples, such as button-down shirts, knee-high boots, and trench coats.

Looking forward, newer trends for fall 2026 include croc-effect bags, flat tote bags, opera shoes, satin ballet flats, and suit skirts. We're eyeing pieces from Almina Concept, Rixo, Suzanne Rae, Tory Burch, and Valesque.

Below, take a look at what fashion editors have on their fall 2026 wish lists.
