As the Autumn/Winter 2026 (AW26) product development cycle approaches, sourcing teams and brand buyers are ramping up preparations for sample development and supplier alignment. This article provides a concise overview of the key outdoor fashion trends for AW26, including color palettes, silhouettes, details, and materials – all derived from our official trend report.
What's Inside: Four Key Outdoor Apparel Trends for AW26

Key Colors
AW26 color trends reflect a blend of natural tones and functional aesthetics – perfect for outerwear targeting both urban and outdoor segments. Practical hues such as deep green, navy, and caramel brown dominate, making them ideal for bulk production due to stable dyeing results and broad market appeal.
Key Moulding (Silhouettes)
Lightweight windproof structures and thickened hard shells define the season. These silhouettes serve two key markets – commuter-friendly citywear and performance-driven outdoor gear. Buyers can save time and cost by choosing from standardized pattern options optimized for production.


Key Details
Trendy quilting, multi-functional hoods, and brand-customized logos are prominent design features. For procurement managers, balancing these details with cost efficiency, scalable construction, and quality control is essential in order to meet both design and margin goals.
Key Fabrics & Accessories
Water-repellent, windproof, and breathable technical fabrics remain core, with increasing demand for eco-certified materials and customizable accessories like branded zippers, detachable hoods, and functional toggles.
