Not Simple, Not Minimalist—In Fall 2026, It's About This Lavish-Looking Fashion Trend
Decadence is having it's moment.
This season, decadence is having a moment. On the fall/winter 2026 runways we saw a movement towards an overtly opulent aesthetic where designers from Dior to Conner Ives, embraced richly detailed textures, brocade, embroidery, rich color, tapestry, fringe, velvet, silk, and sumptuous evening bags—looks reminiscent of the glamorous roaring twenties—and pieces that feel like modern heirlooms. And while there's always a time and place for hyper minimalist styles, this season simple silhouettes are taking a backseat in exchange for opulence.
So how does that translate into our own wardrobes? Luckily, all our favorite retailers from Zara to Reformation have been quick to offer their takes on the trend. If you want to add a lavish touch to your fall 2026 wardrobes, think about investing in a brocade or jacquard coat, an embroidered satin skirt, or a going out top with embellished details. What's even better? The trend lends itself perfectly to holiday season dressing so consider it a smart early investment.
