London Fashion Week came to a close on Monday, bringing us to the halfway point of fashion month and offering a fresh set of trending textures, colors and accessories to keep an eye on as spring approaches.
Though some of these trends aren’t completely new (see: bubble hems, fringe), designers still found plenty of new ways to craft them into their collections.
There were plenty of strong, vivid colors on the Spring 2026 runways, including more of the baby blues and pinks we saw in New York and Copenhagen. But the hue that really caught our attention in London was a bright green shade reminiscent of Tinkerbell’s iconic fairy dress in “Peter Pan.”
Graphic T-shirts featuring phrases like “Bye Anna” and references to movies like “Mulholland Drive” were regularly combined with luxurious ready-to-wear pieces and accessories, including a slew of crowns (a more than fitting choice for the United Kingdom’s fashion capital).
Keep scrolling to see all the biggest trends to come out of the Spring 2026 shows at London Fashion Week.
Tinkerbell Green
This green is not quite “Brat”-y, nor neon or forest-like. The best way to describe this soft, feminine take on a typically hard-to-wear color is by referencing Tinkerbell’s signature mini dress. Perhaps there’s a high-fashion Halloween costume in here somewhere?

Wrestle Mania
London designers have made it even easier to navigate those days when you need to run straight from the gym to a night on the town. Conner Ives, Ahluwalia and Keburia were just some of the brands inspired by the oversized, decorative waistbands seen on Muay Thai shorts, incorporating the detail into everything from ultra-mini athletic-style bloomers to silky pencil skirts.

Royal Coronation
This season’s hottest outfit embellishment isn’t an East-West handbag or chunky statement jewelry. According to the Brits, it’s none other than a decorative crown. Whether intended as a political statement or just a fun way to embrace your inner royal, the regal headpiece was spotted in several collections.

On the Fringe
From classic tan leather to neon crochet and glittery garlands, designers caught a case of fringe fever, attaching it to the lapels of blazers, dangling it off of a knit scarf and even crafting full dresses out of it for peak swaying effects on the catwalk.

Graphic Tees
Just because a T-shirt is a simple garment doesn’t mean it can’t drum up excitement on the runway. Boxy styles with quirky phrases (“Ancient Male Figure,” “Popular,” “Beats are Back”) were featured in a considerable number of U.K. shows, often balanced out by a sleek pair of trousers or a polished midi skirt.

Living in a Bubble
Bubble hems have been steadily trending around the world over the last few years. Once again, brands have favored the puffy ’80s-coded design choice, using it for micro shorts, circle skirts, tunics, bandeaus and even coats.
