Wearable luxury dominates: Farfetch Index on 2026 fashion trends

Farfetch has released its latest index_ utilising internal sales data and global search volumes from 2025 to identify the products redefining luxury wardrobes in 2026. The findings highlight a significant market shift toward “wearable luxury”_ a reference to items that balance cultural prestige and everyday utility.

In footwear_ the Adidas Samba emerged as the most in-demand item globally_ amassing over 52.3 million searches. Its transition from a sports classic to a luxury staple points at a broader trend toward low-profile_ retro-inspired trainers. Following closely is the New Balance 9060_ with nearly 48 million searches_ exhibited a continued interest in exaggerated_ technical midsoles. Other high-performers include the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 and the Maison Margiela Replica.

In the clothing category_ the Moncler Maya jacket holds the top spot with over 1.1 million searches. The Index notes that its high-gloss finish and functional down filling make it a "statement" for modern winter wardrobes. The Max Mara Teddy Coat also remains a dominant investment piece_ alongside "quiet luxury" essentials like the Ami de Cœur T-Shirt from Ami Paris and Comme des Garçons Play Heart-Patch T-Shirt.

For accessories_ the data reflects a reliability-first approach. In bags_ the Longchamp Le Pliage leads with over two million searches_ valued for its foldable_ lightweight design. The Coach Tabby and Marc Jacobs The Tote follow as top-tier "daily drivers”. Prada_s Symbole sunglasses are the leading accessory for eyewear_ followed by the Tom Ford Bronson_ both favoured for their architectural_ face-framing structures.

Doralice Belli_ head of merchandising at Farfetch_ noted that these high-demand products succeed by complementing existing personal styles rather than replacing them. The Index concludes that the most successful luxury items in 2026 are those that "slot easily into real wardrobes" across work_ travel_ and leisure.
