2026 asks for frames that do not shout. In this trend report we show how classic silhouettes can be re-imagined – with warm earth tones, subtle acetate stripes and a manufacturing process that is meant to be seen.
Three movements shaping 2026
- Warm earth – Terracotta and ochre replace grey neutrals. They work in everyday life without feeling trendy.
- Precise curves – the geometrically hard panto shapes of last season give way to softer but never "round" forms.
- Honest materials – titanium stays visible, acetate gains depth through thicker fronts and layered colour transitions.
The full trend report will be released as a PDF for editorial partners and will be complemented throughout 2026 with interviews from the workshop.
