Colours & Fabrics: The Shades and Textures of FW26

TREND REPORT · D.CHIC · FALL/WINTER 2026

The same colour can feel entirely different on a smooth surface and a textured weave. D.CHIC FW26 explores this relationship through burgundy, camel and cobalt. Colour makes the first impression; fabric changes how that impression develops in light and movement.

Colour makes an impression. Texture gives it character.

01 / Burgundy: A deeper red

Burgundy introduces a deep red accent without demanding elaborate patterns. On tweed, coat fabrics or leather-effect surfaces, the wine shade takes on different degrees of depth and reflection. Pair it with black for a sharper outline or cream to lighten the overall look.

02 / Camel: Warmth with definition

Camel provides a warm foundation for designs led by their cut. On outerwear, its golden-brown tone reveals folds and surface detail. Combine different shades of beige, brown and cream; changing the fabric between pieces gives a tonal outfit dimension.

03 / Cobalt: One clear accent

Cobalt creates a clear contrast against neutrals. D.CHIC explores the shade through tweed and denim, each lending it a different character. Let one cobalt piece lead, with black or white around it to keep the combination coherent.

04 / Let texture change the colour

Tweed offers a textured weave, denim a more defined surface, while coat fabrics bring body to outerwear. Balance a richly textured piece with a smooth one to give the eye space to rest. These fabric names offer a general styling perspective; check each product’s label for its composition and care instructions.

Begin with a colour you want to wear, then choose a surface suited to the occasion. Contrasts between smooth and textured, matte and light-catching can enrich a wardrobe without adding many colours.
