Fashion Jewellery Trends 2026
2026 is consolidating rather than revolutionising. The trends that are gaining real traction — quiet luxury, technical outerwear, coastal casual, mixed metals — are not reactions to previous seasons so much as the maturation of ideas that have been building for several years. This is a moment where investment dressing makes sense: the pieces winning in 2026 are the ones that will still be relevant in 2029.
This guide covers the dominant clothing and jewellery trends through the lens of the brands carried at OD’s Clothing and OD’s Jewellers in St Helens — both stores at Barrow Street.
1 | Clothing Trends 2026
Trend 1 Quiet Luxury
Quiet luxury is the dominant macro trend in UK fashion for 2026. It is the rejection of logo-heavy branding in favour of considered fabric, precise cut, and restrained design language. The consumer intelligence behind it is straightforward: genuinely well-made clothes photograph badly (plain fabrics, no logos to identify) but feel exceptional and last for years.
Quiet luxury rewards brands whose quality is evident in texture and construction, not in branding.
OD’s Brands That Deliver Quiet Luxury
- Gran Sasso — Italian merino and cashmere. The definition of understated quality. No logos, just fabric and cut.
- Jacob Cohen — Premium denim with subtle branding. The quiet luxury jean.
- Belstaff — Heritage construction with modern restraint. The Trialmaster jacket is a quiet luxury icon.
- Barbour — Enduring British quality. The wax jacket as investment piece rather than fashion item.
Trend 2 Technical Outerwear
Technical outerwear crossed over from alpine specialists to mainstream fashion several seasons ago, and in 2026 it has become established as the dominant coat category. The appeal is clear: functional construction (waterproof, breathable, packable) combined with design credibility from brands that were doing this before it was fashionable.
The key shift in 2026 is that technical outerwear is being worn in urban contexts as readily as in outdoor ones. A North Face or Peak Performance jacket worn over tailored trousers in the city is now a legitimate styling choice, not a category error.
- The North Face — The most mainstream technical brand. 1996 Retro Nuptse and Himalayan jackets are cultural touchstones.
- Peak Performance — The enthusiast choice. Swedish-founded, genuinely alpine in origin.
- Parajumpers — The luxury technical layer. Down-filled, expedition-inspired, worn in city centres.
- Salomon — Trail running aesthetic adopted by streetwear. The XT-6 trainer is a significant cultural object in 2026.
Trend 3 Premium Tracksuits
The premium tracksuit — a matching set in performance or luxury fabric — continues to grow as a category. The driving insight is that people want clothing that moves with them across contexts: commute, office, coffee, gym, and back. A quality set manages all of these without the cognitive load of a full wardrobe change.
- On Running — The Swiss technical tracksuit. Clean, minimal, performs as well as it looks.
- Reprimo — The British premium tracksuit. Exceptional quality-to-price ratio.
- BOSS Green — The social-context tracksuit. Carries brand recognition that travels from gym to restaurant.
- Sweaty Betty — The women’s premium set market leader. Technical fabric, fashion-aware design.
Trend 4 Coastal Casual
Coastal casual is the 2026 evolution of what used to be called “nautical” or “beach casual.” It draws on the textures and palette of Northern European coastlines rather than the Mediterranean: navy, slate, sand, weathered linen, and washed-out denim. Layered, practical, and deliberately relaxed.

Trend 1 Mixed Metals
The long-standing rule that you should never mix gold and silver jewellery has been overturned. 2026 sees mixed metal stacking — silver and gold worn together intentionally — as one of the most visible jewellery trends. The key word is “intentional”: this is deliberate composition, not carelessness.
How to Mix Metals Well
Start with a dominant metal and add one contrasting accent. Two gold pieces and one silver, or vice versa, reads as curated. Fifty-fifty is harder to make work. Anchor the mix with a neutral centre piece — a steel watch is genuinely neutral and bridges both metals.
Nomination Italy Composable bracelets are ideal for mixed metal styling — each link is individually replaceable, so you can build a gold and silver mix around your own preference.
Trend 2 Charm Revival
The charm bracelet is having its most significant cultural moment since the early 2000s, but in a more considered form. The 2026 charm bracelet is about curated personal narrative — each charm chosen for a specific reason, building a visual autobiography.
Nomination Italy and ChloBo are the two brands at OD’s that lead this trend.
- Nomination Composable® — 18ct gold and stainless steel interchangeable link system. Each charm is a specific symbol or memory.
- ChloBo stacking — Sterling silver charms with Balinese symbolism. Moon, star, and hand of fate are all significant in 2026’s aesthetic.
Trend 3 Coloured Stones
After several years of clear-crystal and diamond dominance, coloured stones are returning. Amethyst, aquamarine, blue topaz, and deep garnet are the colours appearing most in 2026 collections. The trend aligns with the wider movement toward individual expression in jewellery — a birthstone or a favourite colour rather than a generic solitaire.
Swarovski’s coloured crystal collections are at the accessible end of this trend. Their Millenia collection in various crystal colours has the visual impact of coloured stone jewellery at a genuinely accessible price.
- Swarovski Millenia in blue or violet crystal — The trend at its most accessible
- Swarovski Attract in non-white crystal — Birthstone-inspired pendants
- Clogau pieces with Celtic knotwork and coloured stone settings — The heritage-led version of the trend
Trend 4 Statement Earrings
Statement earrings remain the single most impactful jewellery purchase in 2026. The trend is toward sculptural, architectural forms — pieces that have visual presence even before they catch light. The trend is democratic: it works at every price point, from sterling silver to gold.
The key is proportion: statement earrings in 2026 are bold in shape or length but not both simultaneously. A long drop earring with a simple bar design, or a bold sculptural stud, rather than a large chandelier.
- Vivienne Westwood Orb drop earrings — The sculptural stud-to-drop crossover. Iconic design, immediately recognisable.
- Swarovski Millenia Drop — The crystal statement drop. Catches light dramatically under both natural and artificial light.
- Clogau Welsh gold drop earrings — The heritage statement earring. Hallmarked Welsh gold with Celtic detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the quiet luxury trend in fashion 2026?
Quiet luxury is the move away from loud logos toward understated quality. The focus is on premium fabric, precise cut, and restrained design. You know the clothes are expensive by how they feel and drape, not by what is written on them. Key brands for quiet luxury at OD’s include Gran Sasso Italian knitwear, Jacob Cohen premium denim, and Belstaff heritage outerwear.
Is it on trend to mix gold and silver jewellery in 2026?
Yes. Mixed metal jewellery — intentionally combining gold and silver — is one of the clearest jewellery trends of 2026. The key is composition: start with a dominant metal and introduce contrast pieces deliberately. A steel watch bridges both metals and anchors a mixed look. Nomination Italy’s interchangeable link system is ideal for building a personalised mixed metal bracelet.
What jewellery styles are popular in 2026 UK?
Four trends are dominant: mixed metals (gold and silver together), charm revivals (curated personal narrative), coloured stones (amethyst, aquamarine, blue topaz), and statement earrings (sculptural, architectural forms). At OD’s Jewellers, Swarovski leads on coloured crystals and statement drops, ChloBo on charm stacking, and Vivienne Westwood on sculptural statement pieces.
