My Spring 2026 Wish List, From Chanel Mules to Prada Skirts

Since I’m not a buyer, inspecting runway collections for pieces to order isn’t technically part of my job, but it is something I take very seriously for personal reasons. Yes, I’m trend scouting for Who What Wear, but I also like to study the catwalks for my own wish lists, and my spring 2026 version is filled to the brim with It items I can’t wait to buy. Think Prada Frankenstein skirts, Chanel suede mules, and the new Loewe one-handle bag that Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough debuted in their first collection since leaving Proenza Schouler and joining the Spanish house. Those are just the highlights, though. If there’s one thing I like to do, it’s shop (and plan ahead), so you know my spring 2026 fashion-editor wish list is long.

Of course, some shows were more shoppable than others, and of them all, Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel debut was the most tempting. I’ve actually never once bought anything from Chanel, but Blazy’s freshman collection will be the one responsible for changing that. I already have four items I want to purchase, two of which are shoes—the aforementioned mules and a pair of shrunken cap-toe pumps. (The other two you’ll have to keep scrolling to find out about.) At Louise Trotter’s Bottega Veneta debut, bags stood out the most to me, especially the navy versions and anything with a kiss-lock closure. Celine’s trenches, Khaite’s denim skirts, and Tory Burch’s metallic jackets all stood out too. But that’s enough of a preview. Scroll down to see my entire shopping list come spring 2026.

Michael Rider’s sophomore Celine collection was just as impressive and influential as his first, singlehandedly proving that if a coat is chic enough, it *can* be the entire outfit. Just add sandals and a really big bag. This silk-lined trench, in particular, is coming home with me.
