Romantic / Directional Themes

“Haunted cabaret” or dark romantic: A bit of theatrical, slightly frayed, layered romance with sheer hems and edgy silhouettes.

How to Build a “Summer 2026” Wardrobe

If you want to incorporate these trends into your wardrobe or build a capsule summer collection:

Key pieces to consider:

A crochet maxi dress

A sheer organza shirt (layered over bodysuits or tanks)

A pastel blazer (lightweight linen or blend)

A godet skirt (flowy, with movement)

Cargo trousers or modular pants

Statement flip-flops or luxe slides

Polka dot pieces — dress or blouse

Lightweight jumper to drape over shoulders as an accessory

Styling tips:

Mix structured tailoring with soft textures (lace, crochet) for contrast.

Pair bold Capri blue pieces with neutral pastels or even chocolate brown for a modern look.

Use layering — sheer pieces over more solid base layers to play with transparency.

Don’t shy away from playful detailing (feathers, fringe) in accessories or statement pieces.
