The FIFA World Cup is reshaping the global fashion landscape.
As fans trade traditional streetwear for the jerseys of their favorite teams, the industry is witnessing the rise of “blokecore.” Adidas remains a driving force behind this movement, leaning into reimagined jerseys and a focused Samba-driven offering. In an increasingly fragmented world, sport continues to act as a rare source of collective unity.
Defined by oversized blazers, loose trousers, work boots, and layered knits, blockcore leans into a laid-back yet polished aesthetic. A neutral color palette and minimal detailing reinforce its focus on comfort, versatility, and everyday wearability within menswear-led styling.
Rooted in British “lad culture” and amplified through viral TikTok wardrobes, blokecore gained traction as influencers embraced oversized, unpolished silhouettes.
On TikTok, the trend has amassed 1.6B total views, with an average weekly increase of +4.6M views, alongside 57.7K total videos, growing by approximately +134 videos weekly — underscoring its steady but culturally sticky presence online.

Activewear is no longer just a category — it’s a collaborative playground where performance meets design.
From the runway to real life, fashion’s biggest names are redefining what “sporty” looks like. The Simone Rocha x Adidas FW26 collection merges soccer codes with hyper-feminine details like intricate lacework and signature bows. Zendaya’s partnership with On brings a ballet-inspired lens to everyday movement, while collaborations like Nike x SKIMS continue to push the category into fashion’s most experimental space. Together, these alliances are transforming activewear into the industry’s most innovative frontier.
Among the trends, fold-over pants (+400% in search) are emerging as a defining silhouette, reflecting a shift toward relaxed, styled waistlines that blend comfort with statement dressing. Ballet sneakers (+358% among key influencers) are accelerating rapidly, led by key influencers who are embracing the fusion of athletic function and ballet-inspired aesthetics. Sports jerseys (+57% in market adoption) continue to gain traction, moving beyond the field and into everyday styling. Sporty sunglasses (+88% in search) are also on the rise, reinforcing the growing demand for performance-coded accessories with a fashion-forward edge.
Supported by SS27 runway direction from designers like Fashion East, Simone Rocha, and Sandy Liang, sporty dressing is steadily shifting from purely functional roots into a more expressive, style-led language.

The era of the polished influencer aesthetic is fading. In its place, a more grounded, reality-driven style took over festival culture. At Coachella 2026, digital burnout clearly shaped how people dressed—moving away from performative boho-glam and toward looks that prioritize comfort, function, and authenticity.
Flat boots are surging +633% among key influencers, while moto boots are emerging as a breakout favorite. Micro-shorts are climbing +161% and balloon pants are up +286% YoY—signaling a clear pivot toward ease and mobility without sacrificing edge.
At Stagecoach, the “coastal cowgirl” aesthetic evolved into something sharper. Attendees embraced leather, hardware, and structure, building outfits that felt tougher, more industrial, and intentionally styled. This grit was balanced with feminine textures, creating contrast rather than costume.
Lace shorts are rising +289% among key influencers, while snip-toe leather cowboy boots are seeing a +51% increase in search interest. The result is a modern western wardrobe that isn’t about dressing for the ranch—it’s about blending rugged elements with softness in a way that feels current.

Versatility is fashion’s new cornerstone.
Up +1,150% in social buzz among key influencers, the bandana scarf has shifted from a nostalgic accessory to a standout wardrobe enhancer.
Fashion media continues to reinforce the momentum. Who What Wear highlighted bandana print and scarf styling as a key accessory direction for 2026, noting its expansion from classic paisley motifs into modern wardrobes across bags, tops, and headscarves as part of a broader revival of Western-leaning and vintage-inspired aesthetics. Meanwhile, Vogue featured bandana styling on celebrities like Gigi Hadid and Rihanna, underscoring its role as a runway-to-street staple that blends ease with statement appeal.
Beyond its traditional cotton material, the bandana is now being reinterpreted in silk, satin, and elevated prints—worn across necklines, hair, and as a layered styling piece. Its resurgence is being driven by versatility: one piece, multiple expressions.

The Rise of Lace Shorts: From Coachella to Stagecoach
Lace shorts first began gaining traction on TikTok in June 2025, signaling early consumer curiosity through creator styling videos and trend discovery content. A second wave followed in October as festival-goers began purchasing tickets and planning their wardrobes, positioning lace shorts as an emerging event-season staple.
By January 2026, influencer content featuring “festival-ready” lace looks saturated TikTok feeds, directly driving a surge in Google search interest. This momentum continued into March, peaking just ahead of Coachella as consumers transitioned from inspiration to purchase.
Now, lace shorts have reached mainstream relevance with +75% YoY market adoption. The trend has expanded into multiple aesthetics, including delicate lace-trim (+170% in social buzz among key influencers), vintage-inspired bloomers (+55% in market adoption), and lace micro shorts (+203% in search).
Key retailers leading the assortment include Free People, Princess Polly, and Zara, reflecting the style’s move from niche social trend to commercial must-have.

Nostalgia is a heavy hitter this season.
With fashion’s return to power dressing, sharp tailoring, and ‘80s energy, accessories are matching the mood: bold, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore. Vogue recently called hoops a “must-have” essential, while editors everywhere are leaning into this maximalist styling again.
This season’s front-runners: oversized hoop earrings (+414% YoY searches) and shoulder dusters (+234%). Translation? Minimalism is taking a backseat, and drama is back in the jewelry box.

Soft is the new statement for Spring/Summer 2026.
This season, tactile, “touchable” fabrics are taking over—replacing stiff structures with lightweight, feminine textures. Think sheer chiffon, delicate lace, romantic eyelet, loose-knit sweaters and cotton basics perfect for effortless beachside lounging and warm-weather layering.
With “sex appeal” back on the runway (notably at Hermès and Dolce & Gabbana), lace is having a major moment (+41% among key influencers), styled from subtle trims to bralettes under tailored blazers for a “proper not prim” look. Sheer chiffon follows close behind (+25% in market adoption), bringing an ethereal, softly bohemian touch.
Meanwhile, eyelet is surging on TikTok (90M views), and loose-knit crochet is up +44% YoY—proving that soft textures are more than a trend, they’re a movement.
