Fall 2026 is a season with a clear point of view. The runways were consistent in a way they rarely are: structure over slouch, rich dark textures over minimalism, and pieces with enough visual interest to hold up on their own without accessories doing the work. The trends worth knowing are not complicated — they are specific. Here is what they are, what they look like in practice, and the OW pieces that do them best.
1. Lace — The Season's Defining Fabric
Lace dominated fall 2026 in a way it has not for several seasons. Not delicate or bridal — this is lace with structure and intention. Floral lace in dark colourways, worn as separates, as a co-ord, or mixed into an otherwise minimal look. The key shift is that lace has moved from occasion wear into evening dressing more broadly: it is not just for a wedding or a formal event, it is for a night out, a dinner, a rooftop in October.
The SELAH Capsule is the most direct expression of this trend in the OW collection. The SELAH Lace Top and SELAH Lace Pants in black floral stretch lace — worn together as a co-ord or separately — capture exactly what the trend looks like at its best: intentional, textured, and built for evenings. The same silhouette also comes in burgundy and chocolate brown — both strong fall colourways. The full lace edit also includes the VILDA Lace Top for a corset-adjacent lace look, and the ELDORA Denim Jeans and Shirt for lace detail worked into dark denim.

2. Faux Leather & Dark Textures — The Season's Base
Faux leather, dark denim, and rich brown tones are the foundation of fall 2026 dressing. Not a single statement piece — the whole palette. The runway showed dark textures layered and combined: leather with lace, denim with mesh, chocolate brown against black. The effect is rich and considered without being formal.
The KAYA Blazer Jacket in dark brown faux leather is the strongest single piece for this trend — structured, fitted, with sharp notched lapels and a silhouette that elevates everything underneath it. Pair with the KAYA Pants in the same faux leather for a monochrome dark brown look that reads as genuinely considered. The ISELIN Mini Dress in black faux leather with adjustable lace-up sides takes the texture into evening territory.
The ELDORA series — ELDORA Denim Jeans with lace panels and the ELDORA Denim Shirt with lace trim — brings the dark texture trend into denim, mixing two of fall's biggest fabric stories in a single piece. The combination of structured denim and lace detail is specific to this season and works well as a transition piece from evening dinner into a late night.
3. Corset Silhouettes — Structure as the Statement
The corset trend that has been building on the runways for two seasons has fully arrived for fall 2026. Sculpted bust, defined waist, structured boning — applied not just to corsets but to tops, dresses, and bodysuits. The silhouette reads as strong rather than dressed-up: it is evening wear that makes its intentions clear.
The SIVARA series is the OW expression of this trend. The SIVARA Corset Top leads with a sculpted bust, sheer mesh vertical paneling and a fitted evening silhouette. The SIVARA Mini Dress extends the same bodice into a ruched mini — a complete going-out look in one piece. The SIVARA Maxi Dress takes the corset silhouette to floor length for occasions where more coverage changes the occasion entirely without losing the structure.
Pair the SIVARA Corset Top with the KAYA Pants for a sharp, directional fall look — the corset bodice against the faux leather trouser is one of the strongest combinations of the season.
4. Sculptural Cut-Outs & Asymmetry — The Evening Edge
Asymmetric design and sculptural cut-outs were consistent across the fall 2026 runways — not as decoration, but as the silhouette itself. One sleeve present, one absent. A cut-out placed where a panel would usually be. The asymmetry creates visual interest that does not require accessories to complete it.
The KARI Mini Dress is the clearest expression of this trend in the OW collection — a black mini with one long sheer mesh sleeve, asymmetric cut-out detail and a fitted silhouette. The single sleeve is exactly the kind of considered asymmetry the runways were showing. The NADINE Mini Dress takes a similar approach with an asymmetric one-shoulder neckline and a chest cut-out. The SILLA Asymmetric Top brings the same asymmetric principle into a longline sheer mesh top with a custom velvet print — styled over trousers or as a layer, it is one of the more directional pieces in the collection.
5. Statement Faux Fur Outerwear — The Arrival Piece
Faux fur outerwear was one of the most consistent fall 2026 runway themes — oversized, textured, and designed to be noticed on arrival. The practical read: it is the coat you wear over an evening outfit, remove once inside, and let the outfit underneath do the rest of the work. The combination of a statement fur coat over a fitted evening dress or corset top is one of the strongest looks of the season.
The COPENHAGEN Faux Fur Coat is built exactly for this — oversized, knee-length, with asymmetrical panels in the softest faux fur. It works over any of the pieces above: over the SIVARA Corset Top and KAYA Pants for a complete dark tonal look, or over the KARI Mini Dress for maximum contrast between the structured coat and the fitted dress underneath.
6. Sequin & Texture — The Light-Catching Finish
The fall 2026 runways moved away from flat, matte fabrics toward surfaces that do something under light. Sequins, velvet, jacquard — textured fabrics that photograph differently from every angle and change entirely under evening lighting. It is not about maximalism; it is about choosing a fabric that works harder than a plain alternative without requiring more effort to style.
The SILLA Asymmetric Top is the more directional expression of this — a longline black mesh top with a custom-made tonal velvet print. The velvet sits against the sheer mesh base, creating a surface that reads as one thing in daylight and something different entirely under a restaurant or bar light. It is exactly the kind of piece the trend is about: texture as the point, not decoration.
The RAVINA Mini Dress takes the same principle into a sequin and floral velvet mini — a fitted bodice with a softly flared A-line silhouette in richly textured fabric. Subtle sequin embellishments sit within the floral velvet, creating depth and a softly reflective finish that holds up across an entire evening. Style over sheer tights and heels — the texture does the rest.
The Dark Palette — Fall 2026's Colour Story
Black remains the strongest base. But fall 2026 adds chocolate brown and dark tobacco as genuine alternatives rather than accents — the ELINA Maxi Dress in chocolate brown, the KAYA Blazer and Pants in dark brown faux leather, the SELAH Lace Top in chocolate brown. Burgundy runs through the lace category as the season's accent colour — the SELAH pieces in burgundy are the most direct way to wear it.
The palette across the collection for fall: black as the foundation, dark brown as the seasonal alternative, burgundy as the accent. Three colours, multiple textures, consistent evening energy throughout.
