Our wonderful buyers took on NYC for this year’s Coterie market in search of all things forecasted for the 2026 Spring and Summer seasons. For most, being a buyer seems to be pure joy and fun, which it is, but it also comes with firm decisions, strong intuition, and go-go-go schedules. A delicate mix of fun and business is essential in their short time frame, and this bestie duo always does it perfectly. Indulge in the market experience with our buyers!
No matter the location, our buyers know how to have a good time, along with great food! With only two nights there, they hit their favorite spots. One night’s dinner was had at ABC kitchen, a must-stop for Megan and E. They highly recommend the ginger margarita if you have the chance to try ABC Kitchen out! The other night was spent having fun with our French Connection girls at Crane Club for dinner. It is always a treat to spend some extra time with such loyal and long-time partners and friends when the opportunity arises!
When relaying what is trending for SS26, I must quote Miranda Priestly, “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” It is a pattern that is steadfast for the season, and you will not hear us complaining. These new takes on floral patterns will mesh perfectly with the boho inspirations and silhouettes that are to come. While all things boho are already trending for this fall season, it will continue on into the new year and further, so be sure to snag some pieces for now and then!
Jelly shoes are also continuing strong, so be sure not to throw them out if you already bought a pair this year. This goes for long denim shorts, matching sets, and colorful items as well. Blues, greens, and yellows were spotted at several line viewings for our buyers, and they are embracing the fun, fresh hues of the season! While lower-rise denim was surely pushed and raved about by brands, classic cuts and higher rises are still here to stay.
As we embrace the fall fashion and holiday apparel that is slowly starting to trickle in, we collectively have some fresh styles to look forward to in just a few short months!
